Facts About Crete

 

The city's commercial centre is located in the triangle formed by the Averof, 1821 and Kalokairinou streets, as well as in the surrounding streets. There are many commercial stores with clothes and shoes for all ages and styles. The shopping centre of Heraklion, does not have many differences from the shopping centres of other European cities. Beyond the clothes stores, you can find popular art stores and the traditional knife stores where you can buy the famous Cretan knives. In the lively traditional market in the 1866 street, you can find products for making your own Cretan meal. There are many small shops off the main streets which sell local products and many gifts shops (some of the with really strange gifts!) in 1866 Street and more so its side streets.
