Our first day in Crete, and the day is not yet over. We strolled the street named 25th of August, that connects the city center of Heraklion to it's harbor. The modern name of the street is due to a tragic event on the 25th of August 1898, the feast of St Titus, when a maddened Muslim mob slaughtered many Christians, including 17 British soldiers and the British Consul Lysimachos Kalokairinos. Today, it is a fun filled street, with people of all ages, shops, restaurants, and street performers.
