Dark sights in Iraklio

  1. Tomb of Nikos Kazantzakis

    You can pay homage to Crete's most acclaimed contemporary writer at the tomb of Nikos Kazantzakis (1883-1957), at the Martinengo Bastion (the largest and best-preserved bastion) in the southern part of town. The epitaph on his grave, 'I hope for nothing, I fear nothing, I am free', is taken from one of his works. You can actually walk along the city walls all the way to the waterfront from here (about an hour), or you can climb up from the steps next to the arches at Plateia Kyprou.
