ΣΗΣΑΜΟΥΣ Delights by Aristea

A wonderful pastry shop with plenty of vegan options, just 10 minutes from the center of Heraklion.
Aristea’s desserts and ice creams are truly irresistible — and the best part? They’re probably the healthiest treats you can find: raw, sugar-free, and with many gluten-free and diabetic-friendly options.
Bonus for parents: it's located right in front of a pedestrian area that's perfect for kids to play safely, so you can actually enjoy your coffee in peace.
Small downside: it’s close to the airport, so it can get a bit noisy at times..
