"These are the things making Heraklion what is to me - beautiful, incomparable , unique ... A place where I want to grow old" says Michael Schaumburg, the 56 years old German from Berlin. 30 years regular tourist in Heraklion, decided in 2005 that this is the city where he wants to spend the rest of his life.
He is afraid though that these old corners of Heraklion will disappear one day and before they are completely forgotten he wants to share this video with us, titled "A forgotten Heraklion".
