Reviews of Porta Suites
Gazza Meg
Great apartment clean spacious modern with all amenities. The fact they provide a private parking (200m away but we'll worth it if you have a car) is incredibly helpful as parking spaces are very hard to find. If you plan to rent a car. I dont recommend going for an SUV. Take something compact. Some roads are very narrow.

A very nice stay! Warm welcome with a full introduction to the place. The room was spotless and felt like a small apartment — top quality, with a jacuzzi on the balcony, even if the view is rather basic. Great location too, with easy access to all the key spots in Heraklion. All in all I highly recommend!

Lovely room. Had all the amenities. Lovely decoration. Celina was very helpful. Great value for money. I can really recommend.

Porta suites was great to stay at! The room was always so clean. They have so many amenities from laundry in the room, two balconies, the kitchen and living room were big, and their parking lot is gated to protect your car. The recommendations helped us find Peskesi and that was our favorite place to eat in Heraklion.

Our suite, the "Premium Suite Sea View with Outdoor Jetted Tub," was ideal for wedding preparations and photographs, being luxurious, newly constructed, and providing a beautiful backdrop for our special moments. The terrace was the perfect place to hang...
