During your Scavenger Hunt in Iraklion, you'll pass by some of the city's most famous landmarks. A standout is the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, home to one of the world's most significant collections of Minoan art. The imposing Koules Fortress, overlooking the harbor, is sure to leave you in awe. The hunt also takes you to the historic Loggia of Heraklion, a magnificent Venetian-era building.

Our Scavenger Hunts in Iraklion dive deep into the city's history and culture. Did you know that Iraklion was once known as Candia and played a crucial role during Venetian rule? The city's history stretches back to Minoan times, with the famous Palace of Knossos nearby, considered the center of Minoan civilization. Throughout the hunt, you'll discover intriguing facts, like the 21-year-long siege of Candia by the Ottomans and the city's importance as a cultural hub in the Middle Ages. You'll also get a taste of Cretan culinary delights, such as the renowned olive oil and hearty cheese, which are sure to win you over.
After your Scavenger Hunt in Iraklion, there's still plenty to explore. A visit to the nearby ruins of Knossos is a must for any history buff. A stroll along the Venetian fortification walls offers breathtaking views of the city and the sea. If you're keen to sample local cuisine, we recommend lingering in one of the many traditional restaurants in the old town to enjoy specialties like Dakos or fresh fish.
