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.

    - Archeological Museum!

    - Archeological Museum! - Knossos: I found it a bit disappointing, It seems that the rather fanciful reconstruction by Evans 100 years ago destroyed more than 4000 years of earthquakes, fires and wars before. Anyhow, once in Iraklio, visit is a must. Btw., by end June 2024 it was NOT necessary to book the ticket on-line, as stated on the Knossos web site. Just go to the ticket box at the entrance. From Iraklio centre bus no. 2, every 15-20 min, takes 10 min. - History museum: from byzantine time to WW2; collection of orthodox icons. Interesting for those who want to delve a little deeper into local history. - Venezian fortress: impressive, lot of rather detailed hist. information. - St. Titus church. An outstanding beautiful building (former mosque).

    As active sightseers we found limited interest in Heraklion itself. Essential to gave a car to get out of the city to other destinations. As most of the attractions were outside the city we would have been better staying further out.

    This was a much larger city than we expected. See the Fortress, must see Palace of Knossos and the Archaeological Museum and then head out of town. We would not have made this a destination city but needed to come here because of the Port to take a ferry to our next destination.

    I liked the harbour area for strolling and eating with the market areas for shopping. Knossos was a wonderful experience as was the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. Give yourself two to fours hours to really see Knossos, depending on the crowds and three to four hours to see everything in the museum.
