Old Town Heraklion radiates the charm of medieval European history and is located just next to the modern city. It is a meeting place for locals, and major attractions include the Venetian walls, Venetian Loggia, the Koules fortress, and the Morosini Fountain at Lions Square. Numerous cafes and restaurants are dotted across Old Town.
The old town is dominated by Byzantine churches, historical buildings, walls, and fortresses, which emphasize the island's Venetian and Ottoman ruling eras. Walking on 25th August Street, the town hall of Heraklion - Venetian Loggia, the churches that have stood still for hundreds of years and trailing through the Morosini Fountain are the top activities to do in the Old Town of Heraklion.
