HERAKLION CITY TOUR
LIONS SQUARE AND MOROSINI FOUNTAIN
The Lions in Heraklion is the square of the Fontana Morosini, the ornate Venetian fountain
with four lions with water gushing from their mouths. The Fontana Morosini is in
Eleftheriou Venizelou Square in the centre of Heraklion, but the inhabitants of the city never
use the official name, usually referring to it as the Lions Square or the Lions for short.
The fountain with the lions is the most important monuments the
Venetians destowed on Heraklion. When it was built, it offered a solution to the
problem of supplying Heraklion with water, providing 1000 barrels of water a day.

What a fantastic service! We used Safe rides transfers for multiple trips during our stay in Greece. The drivers are friendly, prompt, easy to contact and have alot of knowledge about the local area. Prices are reasonable (able to pay by cash and card too!) and the vehicles are clean and comfortable. Would 100% recommend using this company if travelling in the area.
This is the best driver service I have used. The cars were immaculate, the drivers were lovely and made sure I had everything I needed. The service between pick ups and before was incredible. Thank you for looking afte me!
Very nice! The driver was there at least 10 mins before waiting for us, put our luggage in, gave us water bottles and some fresh paper towels.
