Highlights

There were about 10-13 thousand windmills that pumped the underground water, with which the local farmers were watering their crops.

The Koules fortress guards the old harbour mouth, and Lions Square has the Morosini Fountain, held up by four stone lions. Nikos Kazantzakis, the author of Zorba the Greek, is buried on the Martinengo bastion under a simple wooden cross.
