P	Phillip Johnston on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This fountain is from the Venetian period and was in front of a Venetian palace. Alas, the residence is no longer. Now that would have been something see. I will say this, the fountain is quite lovely and we enjoyed the sound of it as we ate our mezes lunch directly across from it. The fountain is located in a plaza surrounded by shops and lots of food options.
Z	Zuzana Delgado on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful day and night! A heart of the city, very busy place with lots of nice places to have a coffee or traditional Greek street food. Loved the night atmosphere. Very safe as well ?
S	S. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful place with lots of gastronomy. There you can relax and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. However, gastronomy is very designed for mass and the typical Cretan quality is in vain.
R	Ralph Durham on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pleasant stopping place to a coffee or drink while shopping. Fountain from around 1600's. It is much better now that trees have filled in and it is a pedestrian zone. Great for people watching.
A	Anna De Rubeis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A nice place. So centrally located that you can get anywhere from here. Also great as a meeting place.
F	Fares Al Husseni on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is a very busy street. All nationalities are around. The fountain itself is nothing special, but the beauty comes from the long street. There is a nice and cheap coffeeshop nearbye with clean toilets upstairs. It is recommended to go there only for a couple of hours.
A	Angus Carpenter on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very pretty fountain, with four stone lions taking centre stage on the ornate Morosini fountain in the middle of Lion Square, Heraklion, Crete. It is easily found in the centre of the bustling tourist / shopping area in Heraklion.
o	obywatel2x on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fontaine is exactly in the centre of the old town. There are many shops around. One of the must see points when visiting Herakleion.
