We were there when Greece won their opening game - cue fireworks and flares at the harbour - and the next v. ... whoever. What's it like tonight now they've made the final? Is the place going nuts?

I imagine they've all gone totally bonkers out there!
Wish I was there to share (though I can't be accused of being a footie fan!)
Here's to a win in the final!

CHECK THIS OUT (http://www.explorecrete.com/various/heraklion-football/football-celebration.htm) - after making the last post, I checked my mail - great link here to photos showing how the people of Heraklion celebrated the victory of the Greek football team.
It's well worth having a good look at the rest of the site too!
What happens when they beat Portugal (again) and win the final? ? ? ? ?

I would love to be there to savour the atmosphere.
Heres hoping for a Greek win, one because of my love of Greece, two because I usually root for the underdog and three because I have them in my work sweepstake

I wish them all the best for tomorrow and even though I'm not a footie fan, I will be cheering our friends on to victory

Congratulations Greece   and congrats to the Greek and Portuguese fans whose behavior both during and after the match was a great example to others.

Fantastic! Hopefully we can see some pictures of Plakias celebrating, or were people somewhat too occupied to take any?

Well done Greece, I'm truly very happy for you.

Doubtless it will still be discussed when we arrive in September!

No Plakias pics - YET!

But Yannis from explorecrete.com sent me this link last night: CLICK HERE (http://www.explorecrete.com/various/heraklion-football/greece-victory.htm)  They were certainly happy in Heraklion!

Yes I think so Yvonne, but then I never need much of an excuse  

Thanks for the link John, I enjoyed watching the movies, they sure were a bunch of happy campers!

Well, we were there-and it really was crazy-and better than the football itself. Didn't manage any pics but did get some some non digital video. I was suprised nobody got hurt with people running up and down with flares and letting off the fireworks all over the place and across the bay. And plenty of smashed plates around-and enormous traffic jams outside Ostraco with cars being bounced along by all the overloaded occupants. The quarter finals and semis were equally good. Certainly a night to remember!
