25 AUGUST STREET (ODOS 25 AVGOUSTOU)
Historical, pedestrian and commercial street in Heraklion.
Central artery of Heraklion, this long pedestrian street, on which the most beautiful buildings of the city can be found, starts from the old Venetian port and goes down into the old town to the market in 1866 street after the fountain of the 4 lions. This street is so named because on August 25, 1897, Ottoman soldiers attacked the city and ransacked everything there. Shopping street, one appreciates especially the passing side which offers a rather pleasant walk.

The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Soit on y trouve son compte dans cette rue hyper bruyante, animée, fréquentée, bourrée de bars, restaus, agences de tourisme, loueurs de voitures et boutiques à souvenirs. Rien de très original.
Soit on passe son chemin pour aller dans les petites adjacentes et y trouver un peu d'authenticité avec ses bars, restaus et boutiques fréquentées essentiellement par des grecs.
Attention any time at the motor vehicles, very active traffic in this city.
