Fantastic location to be able to access everything (downtown, museums, water, transportation, etc.) within walking distance. Also, as a woman visiting this city by myself for the first time, I felt very safe and comfortable!!! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The entire atmosphere felt positive and welcoming. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast is on the top floor looking out onto the sea and the harbor. The sunrise was gorgeous from up there! Coffee and food were nice too.

The man at the desk was very friendly and helpful. Our room was on the top floor (5th). Once we understood how the elevator worked and how to get in the room we had no issues or problems. The room was very clean and efficient for our needs. The hotel was just a couple of blocks away from the main area of restaurants and shops. Just far enough so you didn’t hear the nightlife but very close to it if that is what you like.

FAQs about hotels in Heraklio

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.

    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.

    Heraklion is a sparkling town full of life and joy, but most importantly with a very rich history. My personal favourite were the fortifications from the Venetian times and Knossos. The town can be walked, but the public transportation is also good.

    It has quite a lot to look at and restaurants to try. Peskesi being our favourite. But we stayed here for the convenience of tours to Spinalonga and Knossos Palace. Also the convenience of the location for the ferry to other islands.

    We love this hotel. It is so convenient for the airport, yet in a quiet area, with easy parking. This was our second stay here. We used it as a start and end point for our two-week tour all over Crete and we were more than happy to be returning for our last two nights before flying home. Everything was super comfortable, spotless and stylish, and the Batoo Cafe was excellent. We felt really cared for by all the staff. Thank you!

    A classy hotel that is well located to the port and the town. Its five star all the way. Big well designed and comfortable rooms. Large spacious bathrooms. Professional and friendly staff. 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.
