It was only a quick visit to the city so we didn’t have time to explore much. This wonderful church though dominated the square where we had dinner and made for a lovely backdrop. It is right by the very popular Lion Square and the structure is beautiful. The history of this town is amazing and this church has seen it all. We didn’t have time to go inside but it dominates the square and proudly has the Greek flag flying up high.

We visited this intriguing building in October when it housed a wonderful exhibition of modern Christian mosaic art. There is very little remaining of the interior of the building but being Venetian it must have been very grand at one time! Excavations around the monastery are still continuing so I shall be looking in, on a future visit, to see how/whether these are progressing. I have submitted its location to Google Maps under the name Monastery of St Peter and St Paul, as listed in the Heraklion.gr website so, hopefully, it will be more 'on the radar' when they've added it to the map.
