Heraklion Audio Tour: Echoes of Empires and Sacred Spaces

Audio guide9 stops

In Heraklion, beneath the sun-bleached stones and grand Venetian arches, ancient secrets whisper from behind every column. This self-guided audio tour opens up the city’s heart, guiding you through turbulent centuries and revealing corners most travelers walk straight past. Hear lost voices in the echoing halls of the Archaeological Museum, decipher secrets carved into the marble of St. Mark’s Basilica, and brush against power plays beneath the graceful Loggia. What hidden artifact forced Heraklion’s rulers to commit an unspeakable act? Which forbidden ritual took place as midnight bells echoed through St. Mark’s? And just who vanished without a trace during a lively 17th-century council meeting in the Loggia? Walk winding streets layered with drama and wonder. Trace the outline of forgotten rebellions and scandals. Watch the city’s soul come alive as you step through its stories of intrigue, beauty, and bold risk. Let the whispers guide you. Your Heraklion adventure begins now.
