Cobblestones warm underfoot, the harbor breezes tugging at a map on your phone—Heraklion becomes a crime scene and a playground at once. The Sherlock Holmes City Game drops you into the city’s layers: Venetian fortifications, Ottoman-era streets, and traces of Minoan grandeur that peek from museums and plaques. As you move from square to square, painted signs and narrow alleys offer clues while the sea keeps time in the background, daring you to read the city as evidence.
