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 is worth the stay to see Knossos and the Archeological Museum. The walk out to the light house is charming. We were there in December, off tourist season, which is perfect for us - not to hot and not too packed with visitors. There was still plenty of restaurants open.

    Can't miss for travellers interested in greece history / culture. the premiere museum for minoan artifacts and the site of knossos is an easy 20mins bus ride away. easy sightseeing of the town itself in a day : town center with churches, venetian fountain / loggia, a quiet walk away from crowds along the city walls, a scenic jog /walk along the long harbour breakwater to see the fortress, marina.

    We took a taxi from the airport and a local bus to Knossos but otherwise everything was easily accessible on foot. There are a range of shops from ordinary supermarkets to tourist stuff to up-market. The ice-creams were everywhere! The town is nice but the authorities could make much more of it: we went past a huge park which was closed to the public, the Old Town is surrounded with a bastion, but no obvious access to the top of the walls. The city map we picked up is completely useless to a tourist.

    Heraklio is a great location to visit several key historical sites e.g. Knossos Palace and museums. It is also a great location to stay and serve as a base location for day trips to other villages/towns within Crete or even other islands.

    The hotel staff I interacted with (from more than one hotel) were all super friendly and helpful. Heraklion is a lovely little town however the cab drivers are all shifty sharks that charge you whatever they think they can get away with. Actually, there were a couple of cab drivers that were OK but most of them ripped me off

    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 was nice and very responsive. The room was comfy. The location is perfect if you would like to travel by bus or by car. It is just near the local bus station, and the central bus station to Chania. If you would like to explore Crete by car, the hotel is near the main roads and just a 5-minute drive to the motorway without passing through the city centre. Highly recommended.
