The fountain with the lions is one of the most important monuments the Venetians bestowed on Heraklion. Lions Square is one of the busiest parts of Heraklion. It is never quiet, unfolding its various aspects 24 hours a day. It’s the meeting point for every activity around center.

Beach
I am suggesting some beaches close to Heraklion you can visit by bus also.
Arina is a nice clean beach with sand, very close to Heraklion. It is not recommended in windy days, because it gets wavy.
