Bougatsa at Liontaria

Bougatsa in the central Liontaria (Lions) Square is part of the morning routine for many locals.

More than that, bougatsa eating is a ‘must-taste’ for any visitor to the city. Indeed, many visitors who arrive in Heraklion by boat leave the port and go straight to Liontaria (Lions) fountains for bougatsa … What a great welcome to the city of Heraklion!
