Hiking
In addition to the modern port of Heraklion, visitors can admire the picturesque Venetian harbor, currently serving as a marina, with the impressive Koules Fortress, which once protected the entrance. The 2 km long pier of the modern harbor begins here and is one of the most popular walking tours among the locals.

Part of the way you can walk on top of the wall, because it is pleasantly windy and you can see in all directions. If you want to walk to the lighthouse, then you should take some time for it. He is further away than he looks. The easy route is about 2400 m.

Running
The pier of the Venetian harbor is perfect for pedestrians and joggers. The route is approximately 2 kilometers long—4 kilometers there and back—without competition from other road users.
