A functional and professional hotel between the main tourist/historic area and the sea front. We were happy with everything. The bathroom had a bath! The room was one of the largest we had on our trip. The lift was modern. We walked to the port for the ferry without difficulty. They provided things like slippers, water and extra pillows.

Very friendly people; the shop keepers were not pushy for sales. Streets were mostly clean. My partner was awed by the history of the town and the island as a whole so we plan another visit next year. We found transportation easy; cabs readily available. Most restaurants had a nice variety of food selection. We found two "special" restaurants where we ate four times.

Don't expect much from the so called hop on hop off bus- you can't get bus back from most places and wait ages with no shade. See very little of interest. Commentary often out of sync with places of interest

- Archeological Museum!
- Archeological Museum!
- Knossos: I found it a bit disappointing, It seems that the rather fanciful reconstruction by Evans 100 years ago destroyed more than 4000 years of earthquakes, fires and wars before. Anyhow, once in Iraklio, visit is a must. Btw., by end June 2024 it was NOT necessary to book the ticket on-line, as stated on the Knossos web site. Just go to the ticket box at the entrance. From Iraklio centre bus no. 2, every 15-20 min, takes 10 min.
- History museum: from byzantine time to WW2; collection of orthodox icons. Interesting for those who want to delve a little deeper into local history.
- Venezian fortress: impressive, lot of rather detailed hist. information.
- St. Titus church. An outstanding beautiful building (former mosque).

As active sightseers we found limited interest in Heraklion itself. Essential to gave a car to get out of the city to other destinations. As most of the attractions were outside the city we would have been better staying further out.

This was a much larger city than we expected.
This was a much larger city than we expected. See the Fortress, must see Palace of Knossos and the Archaeological Museum and then head out of town. We would not have made this a destination city but needed to come here because of the Port to take a ferry to our next destination.
I stayed in about 100 hotels on this last trip and El Greko was one of the best. The price was terrific considering they are right bang in the middle of the walking street. How can you ask for a better location? Best in the city. The staff and front desk were very friendly, the breakfast was included and decent. The actual room was excellent when compared to the price I was charged - Crete in the middle of summer. I have a balcony overlooking the walking street. I would sit there and watch people passing by. Perfect.
Paps lab is a fully renovated modern appartment, from here you can walk easily to the city centre (10-15 minutes) and there are some good restaurants nearby. 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.
