Xmas Adventure Heraklion
Discover the holiday season from a fresh angle with the CityHunters Xmas Adventure in Heraklion, a team building event that blends festive flair, clever puzzles and friendly competition. The journey kicks off at the Morosini Fountain, where the aroma of strong Greek coffee mingles with a palpable sense of anticipation for the Scavenger Hunt ahead.
Uncover Heraklions treasures
Heraklion, the lively capital of Crete, provides the perfect backdrop for a team building experience that tightens bonds and sparks collaboration. As teams weave through historic streets, the imposing Koules Fortress greets them by the harbor, while stops may include the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and the Historical Museum of Crete, each site offering a glimpse into the islands layered past and plenty of inspiration for the challenges that lie ahead.
Puzzle fun and team spirit in a festive setting
Armed with the CityHunters app on their smartphones, participants follow a Scavenger Hunt-style route through the citys holiday-decorated lanes. The app leads from clue to clue, inviting teams to tackle brainteasers and uncover hidden hints, with moments of pause at landmarks such as Agios Minas Cathedral and Saint Peter of the Dominicans to admire architecture and regroup before the next challenge.
A company outing in Heraklion full of surprises
Heraklion is famed for its vibrant culture and tempting cuisine, so a post-Xmas Adventure visit to a traditional taverna to sample moussaka or souvlaki feels perfectly earned. The route can also highlight quieter gems like Hagios Titos church and Agia Aikaterini, giving the outing a balance of discovery, flavor and downtime—elements that make any company outing memorable.
Flexibility and freedom for your holiday experience
The CityHunters Xmas Adventure is designed to fit into busy schedules, whether it serves as an end-of-year department celebration or a feature of a company summer party. The tour is flexible on start times and pace, allowing groups to compete, explore casually or simply soak up the seasonal atmosphere, making this team building experience adaptable to any agenda.
An unforgettable end-of-year highlight
