Kirkór - Irakleion

It was early in the morning, where every other place we happened was almost completely empty. not here. filled with people who repair their early breakfast. delicious local breakfast with nice staff! great introduction to kreta when they had just arrived on the overnight ferry.

One of the oldest places in heraklion. worth a visit. bougatsa is a must! handmade Phyllo bakery filled with creamy custard made from fresh milk or filled with traditional cheese! best accompanied by Greek coffee.

A must go place if you visit Heraklion. Right on the main square of the city (liontaria or lion square), it offers the epic Cretan bougatsa, made with specially made filo pastry and xinomizithra cheese (Cretan sour ricotta). You can also try Macedonian bougatsa with cream. The place also offers great Greek coffee and espresso.

Sweet little caffe with a magnificent view of the fountain! it is a must if they want to try the Greek bougatsa. they have both the sweet (cream filled) savory (cheese filled), and a beautiful combination of sweet and hearty with cheese and honey. I got that and it was delicious! it is something more pricier than other places I have seen, but the atmosphere and the friendly service make it worth while. it is a great place to observe people full of local and tourist. I recommend to grab a bougatsa and freddo cappuccino!

The best local tradition pie I have ever had in Crete. There are a lot of flavors you can choose and I had creme (sweet) and cheese (a little bit salty) which amazed me a lot! YUMMY! YUMMY! DON'T miss it!
