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!
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.
Candia Studio is located in the strict center of Heraklion. You can get back to the room at any time during sightseeing. From the place you can reach all main busses around Crete in less than 10 minutes (Elefterias square or station A). Place is cosy, with a good decor. When arrived we found a room equipped with some extra water and food to refresh after the trip. Andreas (host) helped us with some advices where to go and all recommended places were great. He also almost immediately responded to all our questions or requests.
The best breakfast in Crete!! The variety of specialties and the freshness of everything is beyond ! 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!!
The customer service was excellent, the room was comfortable and quiet, and the breakfast was fantastic. They worked to fix quickly address any issue or problem we faced. I highly recommend this hotel. We enjoyed the jacuzzi as well. In other hotels in Crete, the showers are often extremely small, you have to press a special button and wait to use the hot water, and you can't throw toilet paper in the toilet. That wasn't the case here. Everything was comfortable and easy.
great location! Walkable from ferry port for most, though definitely have wheeled luggage. It's not far away, but a healthy 15 minute walk. Really enjoyed the morning view of the ferry/container port. Crete mountains as a backdrop as well and a small island off the coast. Friendly staff and a simple, but quality breakfast. Really enjoyed the balcony! The room is simple, but very spacious. The balcony and grand view make it even larger!
The room was very clean and very efficiently organised. Staff were very kind and greatly helped my activities in Heraklion.
The location is very close to the sea. I love walking along the sea, so it was great for me. I saw beautiful sunset everyday just near the hotel.
The area is rather quiet, compared to the centre of the town, yet it is very easy to access most of the sightseeing places. I liked this quiet environment very much.
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.
Good Location to shops and all the attractions.
Good place to start or end a trip to Crete.
You could pick up rental after your stay, or drop rental off before your stay.
Near airport. A short taxi ride to hotel.
Close to rental for cars.
Great buffet breakfast with hot and cold food.
Beds very comfortable. Room very clean.
The hotel offers amazing experience, I didn´t expect that much on Crete. The staff was very nice and helpful (especially ladies at the breakfast), breakfast was so fresh and delicious I would come back just because of it! Room is also nicely furnished, super comfy bed, Korres amenities in the bathroom... I hope to come back!
Jet2 messed up my flight contacted hotel non refundable but no charge for new date-super young lady on recep. late shift was so nice to deal with - Item I wanted at breakfast cold so they cooked another. Tea coffee available downstairs at breakfast room.
Would use hotel again if flying in or out of Crete
A beautiful little hotel. Excellent location, clean and modern in design. The bed was the most comfortable in the whole of Crete. Giannis was welcoming and kind. Have already recommended Domus Ariadne to some friends and highly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Heraklion.
Location good both for car and walking to city centre. Parking is not an issue but you may have to drive around to find one close. Hotel clean, staff knowledgeable, easy to communicate and very friendly. Breakfast is cheap and with a good variety of foods to start your day.
I very much enjoyed my stay at this Ibis - nicely kept property, conveniently located in the city centre, right above a central parking garage (being guests at the hotel gives you a 50% discount on the parking fare) and nearby the port, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants!
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!
Super nice hosts. Room was large and comfortable. Well appointed. Location is right on the church square with easy access to sites, shops and restaurants. Stayed her for twice, on our way in and out of Crete. Walking distance to the port.
Lovely hotel in the heart of Heraklion.Absolutely loved the room, anemnities and incredible breakfast (best I had in Crete). reccommandable! parking in front of hotel very comfortable.
the front desk staff were fantastic. super helpful and great recommendations, from arranging airport transportation to restaurant connections - they made it a 5 star review
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
