Heraklion Tourism Committee Tackles Fountain Care and Destination Marketing

Thursday, 18 June 2026/SourceGoogle News/1 min read
The Municipality of Heraklion recently held a Tourism and Entrepreneurship Committee meeting focused on two key topics: the Morosini Fountain and the establishment of a DMMO (Destination Management and Marketing Organization) for the city. The Morosini Fountain, located in Lions Square in the heart of Heraklion, is one of the most recognizable Venetian landmarks in Crete and a popular meeting point for visitors. The committee discussions suggest ongoing attention to the fountain's upkeep and presentation. The DMMO initiative aims to better coordinate and promote Heraklion as a tourist destination, which could lead to improved visitor services and tourism infrastructure in the coming period. Tourists visiting Heraklion can continue to enjoy Lions Square as a central hub for exploring the old town, local cafes, and nearby attractions.
