Extremely comfortable and well-equipped hotel in a quiet neighborhood just outside of the city center (10 min walk). Staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We only stayed overnight but we could have happily stayed longer since there are excellent restaurants nearby and good cooking facilities in the room.

A modern and well furnished hotel in an ideal location only a short distance away from the touristy areas. It overlooked a large square bordered by the large church of St Menas and many cafes and restaurants, frequented by locals. The tasty breakfast was served in the Hacienda cafe next door. A great stay!

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.

What Guests Said About Heraklio:

  • 10.0

    Heraklio was a great place to start an exploration of Crete.

    Heraklio was a great place to start an exploration of Crete. There were so many great day trips - Lasithi Plain Olive Mill, Knossos Palace, Santorini Island, Spinolonga Island, and a Sailboat Cruise to Dia Island. We created our own walking tour of Heraklio, seeing the Cathedrals of St. Minas and Saint Titus, Kornarou Square with tthe Ottoman Pumphous, Bembo Fountain, and State of Erotokritos, Martinengo Bastian, Makasi Gate, Venetian walls, and Tomb of Nikos Kazantzakis, the Morosini Fountain, Peoria Vechi, and the Venetian Loggia. There were so many great places to eat and shops. Some of our favorites were on 25. August Street which leads directly to the harbor and Koules (fortress). There are still so many more places to visit and explore in Heraklio.

    The town was buzzing and full of life. Some excellent restaurants (peskesi a stand out) Beaches were stunning especially when blessed with perfect summer weather. BUT, the traffic is terrible, parking is difficult, road-rules are optional and the lane-ways are very narrow. Visiting Knossos is an absolute must.

    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.

    Delightful family run hotel across the road from the main bus station that served our needs perfectly as we passed through Heraklio while travelling from the east of the island to Chania in the west. Spotless, attractive room equipped with all you'll need for a comfortable and pleasant stay - and very quiet! Would happily book again when we return to Crete.

    Provided you pick a larger room the hotel is a good place in Heraklion. The rooms are good with above average facilities. The staff were particularly good at helping with restaurants, transport and other advice. Breakfasts were very good and the Hotel looked after our luggage while we travelled in Crete.
