ABOUT
Eleftherios Venizelos was a prominent Cretan politician, and statues dedicated to him can be found in various parts of the island.
In Heraklion, just a stone's throw from Eleftherias Square, a statue has been erected at a location where visitors can enjoy a splendid view of the city's port.
The bronze statue was crafted by Yiannis Pappas, and designed by architect N Hatzimichalis. It was constructed in 1963, during the tenure of Nikos Krasadakis as the mayor of Heraklion.
