Venetian Harbour (Οργανισμός Λιμένος Ηρακλείου Α.Ε.)
You'll find this historic marina at the heart of Heraklion's Venetian Harbour, completed in the 16th-17th centuries with original dockyards and shipyards still visible along the northern and eastern sections. The harbor sits at the end of the pedestrian 25th of August Street, putting you within walking distance of the iconic Koules fortress and some of the city's best seafood restaurants. The setting perfectly captures Heraklion's Venetian architectural heritage, making it one of the most characteristic and photogenic spots in the city.
