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 a great place to visit!. We stayed for over a month and were never bored. There is a very extensive pedestrian area with a huge variety of shops, places of cultural interest, restaurants and snack bars. The local cuisine is reasonably priced. The city is very busy with locals and tourists mixing in the pedestrian areas.
Heraklio is a great base for visiting the rest of the island as most of the major urban areas are also on the north coast. There are very efficient local and regional bus services and of course car and moped hire.
For those interested in history and culture Heraklio is the place to visit. I do recommend reading up on the incredible history of the island before visiting as this will help the visitor better understand the context of what they are visiting.
We visited in March to April and combined a city holiday with a beach holiday. There are two very long beaches very near the city centre.
Almost everyone we met spoke very good English so we never really got to use any of the little Greek we learned before travelling. In one month we never used any cash as all business take electronic payment per mobile phone, credit cards etc.

It's a nice town with a lot of shops, cafes, restaurants etc etc. People were nice. It has a spider-like outlay and you could easily get lost. GPS was not working well. I ended up searching half an hour for my hotel.

Liked the fact there were lots of places to visit in the town. It’s a mix of old and new and full of places to eat. Bus service is good and not expensive but taxis are expensive to visit around the island. People are friendly and most are able to speak some English but be aware all signs are in Greek so when trying to find your way walking it can be a bit confusing if you don’t speak the language. But that’s part of the fun of the holiday.

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.

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!
⭐️💫 PERFECT 5 Star ! ! ⭐️ 💫
From the style and interior design to the location, views , linens and high quality towels and amenities. It’s an amazing place to stay and one would be so lucky to find this Casa. Everything is stunning and has the comforts better than any five star hotel and we have travelled the world. Host is a class act and helpful for anything you might need from local spots for coffee and Greek delicacies to the best restaurants locally in Heraklion. Don’t miss this location. Well worth it !
The greek coffee of Caterina, the cats, how friendly the staff is, I travel alone and I always have a lot of questions, they are so helpfull, as a family, the hotel is 200 meters to the beach, close by the buses to Heraklion and the airport, supermarkets and restaurants, a family hotel to enjoy the taste of Crete. The room was very clean and the air conditioning works good, the pool was an oasis.Thanks Caterina, Niko, Capitán, Cristina, Eva, and of course my spanish friends Antonio and Isabel, thanks for all.
An absolute gem at Heraklion centre. I have visited almost every hotel at Heraklion for business purposes mostly but this is the first time i get so excited! Everything here is designed for the guests shake, with style and comfort. I loved the bed and the pillows the wallpapers too...great job on the breakfast box too that i added upon arrival ( quite enormous for me but i took it with me when leaving hotel). + Booked me a dinner table at a great fish restaurant near hotel with discount!
The location is very good. Near to restaurants, shops, pharmacy and bus station. The hotel is modern, clean and the bed is very comfortable. Also, you have a security box on the room. The breakfast was generous and you have several options from salty to sweets. Before booking here, I've read other customer reviews, and I don't understand the bad reviews. I highly recommend Olive Green Hotel! the receptionist were very helpful and friendly! 🙂
Good for business trip. Don’t choose it if you are a tourist, maybe just for two-three nights only. Close to city center and harbor. Pool on the roof is useless, very small and always busy with other people or their towels. But view from there is stunning.
Bed and room were very comfortable. Lobby is not what I would expect from 5* hotel. But coffee at the breakfast was much better than anywhere in Crete.
The hotel is a fantastic palace with the best location in front of the Venetian Port.
The room is very nice, fantastic views and amazing bathrooms, everything is perfect.
Breakfast was the best we found in the entire island. They have a fantastic sweet area cakes and typical pastries from Crete, that are delicious. Trully a 5 star hotel breakfast.
The personal is very gentle too and helpfull.
My wife and stayed here in January 24. Upon entering the door it was love at first sight. The apartment is spacious, impeccably clean, tastefully decorated, well insulated and easy to heat during the cold winter weather. The utilities and fittings are immaculate, functional and discrete. The beds are large and comfy, and the bedrooms are dream to sleep in. Lovely!
Infinity hotel was a great spot in the city or Irakleion in the centre of the town , close to the pedestrian streets and to the municipal parking lot. Staff was great, kind ,friendly cheerfull and very helpful. Breakfast was perfect for a great start of the day with a lot of options to choose! The room was spacious and pretty , with a nice small balcony.
It is a warm local hotel, quite near the beautiful Venetian Port and the animated 25 August avenue (I could stroll along this avenue everyday without getting bored! ).
The receptionist people are the nicest. They have saved me from a taxi situation at 4am, without them it would be very difficult to get a taxi in Crete at that hour.
Everything was excellent! House was exactly as we expected, clean and warm without any problems. Especially our hosts welcomed us with so much love and informed us perfectly about what places to visit or where to go! Definitely gonna choose this again if we go to Crete for holidays! Ευχαριστούμε για όλα!
I dont know what everyone expect from hotel near airport, but it is what u pay for. We needed to get sleep before the flight, so we did. yes its noisy, when the plane flies absolutely near your balcony :D but you get free airconditioner, clean room, comfy bed, and thats enough for one night to get rest
Truly very impressed with this ‘airport’ hotel. All amenities were available and it offered a really nice stay for our last night in Crete. Airport is <5min by car and the hotel offers safe onsite parking, nice breakfast, and even a Raki welcome drink. Stay here!
Location is perfect! Very close to the city centre.
It was nice to have a small balcony.
It was quiet at night.
Possibility to check out very early was one of the main reasons to choose Mirabello Hotel for 1 night.
Good value of money.
This hotel is located just outside of Heraklion's historic downtown, allowing for a pleasant walk. The rooms are comfortable, with all the amenities you'd need. The breakfast is nice, and the staff is excellent! Highly recommend this place!
Very friendly hotel 10 minutes from the centre of Heraklion. Impeccable staff. Clean and cosy room although not very spacious for 3 people and no sockets near the bed. Very good restaurant with buffet dinner and lunch with fixed menu.
The staff informed me of which bus to take but the instructions for getting to the hotel would not have worked without use of cell phone data or wifi. The staff was very nice. The beach was a short but maze-like walk.
Beautiful spacious room, perfect location in the centre city, near to everything but not noisy, comfy bed, soundproofing, well equipped room, great staff. A true 4 star hotel.
Excellent location and a great room at a very reasonable price. The staff was very friendly and helped tremendously with things to do in Crete. We hope to return someday!
If I do return to Crete I would definitely try to stay at the Castello City Hotel. Facilities staff, cleanliness, position were all 10 out of 10. The cost was reasonable
