The annual Book Fair in Heraklion has been confirmed to return to Eleftherias Square, the city's central plaza, following a period of uncertainty and negotiations between local booksellers and municipal authorities. The decision came after discussions that included debate over the use of the Saint Catherine area as an alternative venue, with deputy mayors intervening to reach a final agreement. Eleftherias Square, located in the heart of Heraklion near the waterfront, is easily accessible on foot from the port and main bus stops. The fair brings together publishers, independent booksellers, and cultural events in an open-air setting. Visitors in Heraklion during the fair can browse Greek and international titles, attend readings, and experience a local cultural tradition. Check the Heraklion Municipality website for confirmed dates and the full program before visiting.
