Johan

From

Belgium

Our stay for 3 nights was the perfect start to our holiday in Crete. The hotel is still new (opened 2 years ago) and the room we stayed in was spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. We had a large terrace with a nice view of the city and the sea. The people at reception and breakfast were friendly and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. They created the welcoming atmosphere of a family hotel. The breakfast was really (really!) great: lots of choice, with a good variety of savoury and sweet, and many local products (including some delicious pastries). The courtyard where it is served is pleasant, and I could easily imagine spending half a day here with a good book to read. Finally, the location was also ideal: in easy walking distance to everything we wanted to visit (including the archaeological museum), yet very quiet.

FAQs about hotels in Heraklio Town

The Cradle of Minoan Civilisation

Nowadays known as the capital of the Greek island of Crete, Heraklion was once the centre of the Minoan civilisation and the port of the ancient Knossos. This stunning gem features rich history, outdoor markets and important archaeological sites.

Just 6 km from the lively Heraklion is the world-renown ruins of the Knossos palace, where according to the Greek mythology Daedalus built a labyrinth to hold the Minotaur.

Home to the 16th-century church of Agia Ekaterini, the cathedral of St. Minas, Venetian Loggia and the Archaeological Museum, this destination is much more than just a cosmopolitan city with vibrant nightlife. Do not forget to wander around the old port or visit the Venetian Walls.

Beach lovers can discover some of the most popular places of Crete like the tourist resorts of Malia and Hersonissos, the golden beach of Amoudara and the fishing village of Agia Pelagia.

The international airport of Heraklion, Nikos Kazantzakis, is the largest one in the island and the second busiest in Greece. Situated about 4 km from the city centre, it offers seasonal flights to Vienna, Barcelona, Zurich and St. Petersburg. Booking.com offers a great variety of hotels in Heraklion.

Heraklio is the Big City on Crete.

Heraklio is the Big City on Crete. That said and while it is lovely there are more enjoyable towns and getting around is relatively easy. 4 -5 days in Heraklio was enough for us and the lure of other Cretan places was greater. Overall the Cretan people are mostly welcoming which is heartening given the numbers of tourists going there that must drive them crazy at times!

Heraklion has a lot of car and bike traffic.

Heraklion has a lot of car and bike traffic. It is like peak hour in Sydney constantly. Parking is horrendous. I would recommend staying out of Heraklion. Drive to Knossos Palace, but go early. The other attraction for us was the Archaeological Museum. Get a uber or taxi to that. The foreshore looks like they gave up on it years ago. After Chania, Heraklion was a disappointment.

The hotel was located very near to the centre of town. Staff were friendly and helpful and the self parking was great. An excellent breakfast with fresh juice, good coffee and the best range of fresh baked cakes and tarts. The only problem with Heraklion is the aircraft that need to depart over the town from the airport, we didn't notice this when inside the hotel but certainly noticed it when outside. Still a great town to visit and an good hotel to stay. Easy drive to Knossos.

Stavros and his father welcomed us in the appartment and introduced us to the (shared) rooftop terrace. The appartment features 2 AC's and a modern bathroom with a deluxe shower. All in all this was a great place to end our trip in Crete and highly recommend it here.
