The beginning of this year's tourist season in Crete is very dynamic. More than 30,000 people passed through Heraklion airport alone by the end of March. tourists. However, Heraklion also has a second gate through which it receives tourist traffic. It is, of course, a seaport that is the destination of cruise ships and private boats. Initial estimates assume that more than 300,000 people will arrive in Heraklion by sea this year. And it is with the potential of this port that the authorities of the capital of Crete associate their far-reaching plans.
One of the most important goals of the Municipality of Heraklion for the coming years is to promote the city as a place that is a gastronomic attraction. For this reason, as part of the cooperation between the Municipality of Heraklion and the Port Authority, a local market with Cretan products is to be created here. For guests entering the port of Heraklion, it would be the first place where they could come into contact with the culinary richness of Crete. At the market, tourists who disembark from the ships could immediately try the specialties for which the island is famous. In the longer term, this is to expand the market for culinary products.
It is certainly an interesting idea, as cruise ship passengers are often completely unfamiliar with the local products of the places where cruise ships call. The too short time they can spend on the island is also not conducive to getting to know the local flavors more thoroughly. Thanks to the fair, visitors would have the opportunity not only to have a quick tasting, but also to make specific purchases.
