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.

    Seeing the Palace of Knossos and then the Archeology Museum was a highlight! So much history and so interesting. This is where the Minotaur lived and the site of the Labyrinth, as well as the pre-Greek ancient Minoans. On top of this, inside the Venetian walls are a maze of fun streets with shops and restaurants, all walkable. Good food and fun. So very much worth going to Heraklion! Plus an easy peasy airport is very close nearby.

    Heraklio is a city that contrives to hide its treasures.

    Heraklio is a city that contrives to hide its treasures. At first, we were a little put off by the mix of architecture and the labyrinthine streets and alleys, but after a while, it all became known and comfortable. The museums are very good: the Archeo. obviously, but the Museum of Cretan History is lovely and has a pleasant terrace to enjoy coffee. The standout museum for us was the Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, which is thoughtfully curated and with kind and friendly staff. Bitirinis for fish; Antipodas for flesh.

    I love Heraklion - I have visited many times and will continue doing so. There’s always something I wish I had more time to visit. During the day there’s so many nearby beaches to spend the day or historical sights to visit. There’s always great venues at night, countless clubs and bars and the restaurants are amazing, even just taking a stroll through the streets is fun. Heraklion Museum, Knossos and a walk to the port is a must for every visitor!

    Knossos was wonderful.

    Knossos was wonderful. The boutique Georgia's Garden Hotel north of town where we stayed 3 nights was sweet. A day around Heraklion is nice. We'd like to spend at least a week going around the rest of Crete, and regate that we didn't get far from Heraklion

    Heraklion was a city that has been built a lot around the tourism industry. So if you are looking for a more genuine side of Crete i suggest you visit one of the other cities and even better the small villages. The food scene however is incredible with great flavors and innovative ways to introduce the cretan cuisine to a more modern setting. Also there are some interesting museums such as the natural history one and the museum of ancient technology

    Heraklio gets a bit of an unnecessary bad rap.

    Heraklio gets a bit of an unnecessary bad rap. Sure, it's a port town, but it's also charming with lovely people working in the tourist/non-tourist parts of town. I'd happily return for good food and the lovely atmosphere. My family much preferred walking around Heraklio to Knossos. We ate at Phyllo Sophies and Ipocampus twice. Great desserts and great meals. Highly, highly recommend getting bougatsa and loukoumades at Phyllo Sophies!

    The position is a perfect compromise for visiting the Cnosso palace ( 7 minutes by car) and Agia pelagia beach ( just 30 minutes for an amazing water in a close by town). The room is clean and traditional. The true gem of the hotel is the hospitality. Katerina ( the receptionist) has been an impeccable and outstanding host, she gave us a lot of useful and practice tips to plan our trip(where to go on the beach, where to buy essential stuff, where to eat tipical Creta food). We felt very welcome and spoiled. Highly recommended.

The staff both the reception & the lovely ladies in the cafe are exceptionally attentive and helpful! This elegant hotel is just a short walk to the historic port which has in particular two excellent restaurants and just a short walk to both the main bus station and port . To top it off the rooftop pool with the most comfortable lounge mattresses overlooking the port make it a place to remember. You won’t want to leave!!

    Location is good if you need to spend night near airport. 30 min walk to airport (with carry on bags) - could be not an option when it is hot but we walked at 6:30 am. Though Christina could book a taxi if you wish. Room is new, super clean, comfortable, contemporary design - we stayed in Eutopia room. Nicely decorated with great attention to details. Cannot complain for noise because there are no planes at night. Would highly recommend if you need to stay near airport.

    The property was recently renovated. So everything was brand new. The point that I liked the most since I was working during the day was the internet which is quite good for Crete. The second best it is the AC system it is perfect. I missed a grill outdoors. It would be good. Lol. The host is extremely friendly. Sent a lot of tips to go around. Made us feel like home.

    I liked the fact that the hotel is so close to the airport; we prefer to take the afternoon flight from the UK which arrives at 22:45 and we then need to stay somewhere close before going the next day to our house near Rethymno. The man on reception is always friendly and welcoming; the hotel is comfortable and clean and is a great way to start our trips to Crete.
