Андрей Жуковский
Very comfortable apartments with a friendly stuff. The hotel is in a perfect place between city center and Old Port. The stuff is very professional, attentive and friendly. I highly recommend to everyone. We were on Christmas and New Year holidays. It was very comfortable, not many people, the weather was very warm and it is a good time to stay in this hotel. My best recommendations.
The Tropical Diva
One of the best places to stay in Herakleion. In the city center. All shops and attractions are at a very short walking distance. Super clean, spacious and quiet apartments. Margarita is the most helpful and kindest host. If you would like to enjoy a delicious meal for a very reasonable price try the Ippocampos restaurant very close by. Their food is amazing!
