The Old Market street is another place worth the walk-around. Located near a shopping boulevard, it brings a distinct contrast to the modern shiny trade zones — a favourite area for the local people, Herakliotes. Getting to know the Agora is not the only benefit – you can find fresh food, especially vegetables and fruits from a rural garden; you can taste and buy the local brandy as well. The Old Market is the zone to eat Cretan food and feel the spirit of the city. Nearby a traveler will find another beautiful place – Bembo Fountain, set on Plateia Kornarou.
