Today we walked around Heraklion, the highlights of which were: a visit to the county government office, lunch at the wonderful Savoidakis Bakery & Patisserie, a colourful church that features a saint's skull, then a walk out to an old fort (closed today, unfortunately) that once stood guard over the port.

I'm not saving the best for last: if there is anything to take away from today it is the wonderful Savoidakis Bakery and Patisserie, that has supplied us with delicious pastries, cookies, and salads. Reason enough to visit Heraklion!
