YAFEA ALYAFEI
★★★★★a year agoI had the pleasure of attending the Crete Comic Con with a dear friend from the area. The venue was absolutely wonderful for the event, and its central location made it so convenient—just a lovely 15-minute stroll from my hotel. I truly enjoyed my time there; it was such a delightful experience!

★★★★★9 years agoIt's not ready yet, but I hope that it will be soon. It's a pretty big place and I imagine that it will be useful to the community of Heraklion.
