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.
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.
excellent city location close to the sea and city centre . Not far from the airport and bus stations . nice eating places nearby staff were helpful and polite with perfect English. The room had a lovely view of the sea and mountains with a nice balcony and a fridge and safe . we loved the breakfast ! so much choice to suit everyone. The hotel was clean and comfortable. we enjoyed our stay and actually booked a further night at the end of our holiday .
Excellent hotel with a bunch of useful amenities nearby such as a laundry where it's 6 euros for a washed and sorted load, a supermarket, a bakery and less than a mile walk to the town centre. Nice friendly owner, communicates well & in advance. Any extra amenities (we wanted a blanket and a couple of pans for cooking breakfast) were provided straight away on asking.
Lovely modern room and bathroom, very comfy, strong aircon too. Would recommend.
The location of the hotel is a perfect starting point for walking around the city centre and exploring Iraklion's main landmarks.
We particularly enjoyed the direct view on the quiet, fascinating old square and the breakfast served in a very relaxing atmosphere at the nearby cafe.
The room is very modern, spacious, clean and comfortable, with soft beds and excellent bathroom.
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.
Our hostess was so friendly and helpful with tips and directions. Her husband even stood and saved a parking spot right out front for us!! The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and cute. We were welcomed with special treats including olives and Raki! Everything we needed was available. This was a great first stop after arriving to Crete.
People at the reception were really friendly, they made a reservation for us in some good restaurants. It's hard to park on the street, also we got a recommendation for a parking (8e per day w/ multiple entries). Hotel is at the good location, close to the city centre. Also, hotel has a webpage with recommendations for food/beaches/bars to visit.
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!
This boutique hotel is new as of May 2022 and no expense was spared. We stayed in 5 different hotels in during our visit to Greece. Everything from a 2 star to a 5 star hotel. This was by far the most comfortable place to stay. Off the beaten path but close to the port and airport. I would recommend to everyone to stay here
To be honest I didn’t get the bad reviews, the hotel is well placed, extremely clean and well ran. yes, the rooms are small but refurbished with everything you need, including AC and fridge. I had a very nice stay and I definitely recommend. it’s not the 5* all inclusive type, more of a city hotel with a nice charm
Hotel is very clean, modern, amazing location, close to many shops, restaurants and 15 min taxi ride from the beach. Breakfast had a lot of selection for kids and adults. Very friendly, professional and helpful staff. We loved our rooms. We’ll definitely come back to stay at the Olive Green hotel.
The staff were friendly and helpful, the bed was really comfortable and the decor was great. It only opened this year and everything was pristine. A 15 minute walk from the city centre, with good coffee shops a restaurants near by. The hotel parking was a blessing
Very helpful staff who went over and beyond expectation to meet our needs. Location convenient to city centre. Hotel and room very clean and user friendly. Breakfast at the hotel was very good. Roof top garden area an added bonus to sit and relax.
Charming lady at the reception, very friendly and all shinny and smiling
Good location in comparison to city centre/airport
Free parking at a location nearby but also easy to park around the hotel
Really nice place near the center of Heraklion and near the sea. Apartment is quite big and clean, convenient self check in. Good place to start discover Crete
