Heraklion becomes an interactive treasure hunt. Follow a walking route past Venetian fortresses, fountains and hidden gems most visitors miss, and at every stop solve a puzzle you find in the surroundings — the clue is around you, not on a screen. Sightseeing, a continuous story and a light brain-teaser rolled into one, played at your own pace straight from your phone's browser. No app, no account, no live guide: just open the link and start exploring.

Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

Your starting point is the Koules Fortress, the Venetian sea fortress at the entrance of the old harbour of Heraklion — about a 10-minute walk from the city centre bus station. This is self-guided: no guide meets you. Just start at the fortress and follow the route on your own phone.

End point

The route finishes at the Natural History Museum of Crete, on the seafront west of the old town. From here it is about a 15-minute walk back to the harbour and the city centre.
