Amazing corner of this city, just out of time. Wonderful building, seeble from the distance. In my opinion one of the most iconic things here.
It is hard to resist touring the Castello del Molo when visiting the city of Heraklion. It seems to beckon you to visit and discover the mystery behind the walls. We enjoyed exploring the Jaque Cousteau exhibit, and the various rooms on the first floor...More

Really surprised by this Castello but certainly not disappointed. Well worth the visit with some interesting aspects
