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 was beautiful.

    Heraklio was beautiful. The archeological museum is incredible. The history musuem is likewise. The underpopularized The Museum of Ancient Technology was faciinating.......The city is a fine landing place to Crete and offers much more on its own, however we found the graffiti to be overwhelming. I do not believe the slander of it to reflective of the intellegence of the residents of the city - from my interactions. Moreover the beauty of the archetecture is marred by the slander perpetrated. I can only think that the building owners are overwhelmed by the constant repainting required. Hate speech is not free speech but rather incitement.

    It's an amazing trip experience that combines both the sea side stuff and the full comfort of a city. You can find small beaches along the shore, and a large embankment right across the venetian port that is perfect for evening walks (it has approx.. 2,4 km in length). There are also a lot of restaurants and bars you can hop into. I would dearly recommend Peskesi, Petousis, Sir Papafigos, Parasties for food, Take five or Toucan Skybar for drinks, but there are a lot more that are waiting to be discovered. Also the museums are a must, and of course the nearby site of Knossos. Another close by attraction you shouldn't miss is the Cretaquarium.

    Iraklio has a lot of small good restaurants, serving the local food. It looks bigger than it is, because there is such life, and many shops. Its not a city with many sights, so you have to be prepared to take some small trips på Knossos, Archanes, the lashiki plateau, a local beach and so on. We “had to” stay for 7 days, because of our flights, and that was 1-2 days too much. But that was due to us, and not the city.

    Its a beautiful old city with plenty to do and see for a short stay. Within 3 days I got to know the old city, wander the streets, shop, visit museums, and eat delicious local cuisine. Our only trip out of town was Knossos. If I was staying longer I would visit beaches and Spinalonga Island. A wonderful little town. Dinner at Peskesi was a highlight of my trip, probably the best restaurant during our 2 week trip across Greece.

    Each time I visit Crete, I make sure to spend time in Heraklion. There’s something about its unique atmosphere that always draws me in—the mix of history, local life, and lively streets feels truly special. Whether I’m wandering through the old town, enjoying Cretan food, or just soaking up the city’s energy, Heraklion always leaves a lasting impression. It’s a place I keep coming back to.

    The hotel is located in a great location, right in the heart of the city. There is a bus station nearby that will take you directly to other cities of Crete. The accommodation was clean and pleasant. The rooms are quite spacious. A minor minus was the very soft mattress, but it's only a small thing. There was a beautiful Greek atmosphere here and we will definitely always be happy to come back. I always come here to Stalida. What takes breakfasts - super tasty and very vaious.

    Good for business trip. Don’t choose it if you are a tourist, maybe just for two-three nights only. Close to city center and harbor. Pool on the roof is useless, very small and always busy with other people or their towels. But view from there is stunning. Bed and room were very comfortable. Lobby is not what I would expect from 5* hotel. But coffee at the breakfast was much better than anywhere in Crete.

Fabulous and very creative, delicious breakfast. Great ambiance. No fuss no bother. Great atmosphere, and quiet throughout the hotel. Highly recommended, and one of the best hotels in Hiraklion and Crete.

I had a very nice stay and I definitely recommend. it’s not the 5* all inclusive type, more of a city hotel with a nice charm
