This neighbourhood is one of the oldest in Heraklion! Just opposite you can see the old Venetian grain warehouse of Heraklion. Only a few steps away from the main entrance of the building is the famous Lions square. But what really makes our place special is the ease of access to the central market of Heraklion and all the popular cafes and restaurants of the city.
