About 20 minutes by car above Heraklion and 10 minutes from the excavations at Knossos you will find the green oasis of Fourni Grove. It is located on a hill and thus provides a beautiful view of the city of Heraklion, but also of the higher hills in the area.

While walking through the pine forest you will come across a small theatre which offers a beautiful, peaceful atmosphere surrounded by trees. I would recommend the place as a contrast to the hectic Heraklion. You can come here to relax from the hustle and bustle of the city and draw comfort from nature
