Jointly organized by the Heraklion-based Culinary Studies Center – Hospitality & Tourism Studies and the Heraklion Port Authority (HPA) under the motto: “Participating for the Destination – Participating for Heraklion”, the initiative invited residents and visitors to join up and promote Heraklion as a leading tourist destination… by breaking a world record.

Participants, which included young and old, professionals and amateurs, managed to break three instead: to make the largest number of cake pops, the longest cake pop line, and break the record of participation with the greatest number of people while in the meantime contributing to charity.
