Abstract
In this paper we present the design and implementation of a multimodal solution for the promotion of gastronomic tourism in the municipal area of Heraklion city. The provided solution is comprised of standalone information systems accompanied by a mobile app for the presentation of thematic routes. By facilitating a rich knowledge base and a collection of audiovisual material, the applications allow the visitor to explore dimensions of tangible and intangible cultural heritage connected to gastronomy and plan a personalised experience orchestrated by their mobile device while on the move in the municipal area.
