"Our stay at the Nesean Plaza was so nice. This stay was a part of our Honeymoon. We got a bottle of champagne and a plate with fresh fruit when we arrived! The staff was very kind. And most important, the room was so clean! We got clean towels everyday. Breakfast was a buffet and had enough optione to choose from. If we go to Crete (Heraklion) we would stay in this hotel again. Really recommend this hotel!"

Top Palace of Knossos Hotel Reviews

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, the breakfast buffet was incredible, and the spa facilities were amazing."

Marvel Deluxe Rooms

8/10 Good

".."

Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Près de l’aéroport et de l’arrêt d’autobus à proximité 😏"

Ibis Styles Heraklion Central

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very helpful."

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was beautiful and in a great location to the port, old town etc. Also had free parking which was a nice bonus. We spent a lot of time in the pool which was much needed respite from the heat. Only items to improve here was a bit of a disconnect between the day reception staff and the night reception staff re: our request for late checkout. Night staff said yes, then the next day, the day staff said no - so it made us scramble last minute to pack everything up. Otherwise - a great stay and would recommend!"

Infinity City Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel within walking distance of the port for our short stop over in Heraklion . Staff very helpful and allowed us to have early breakfast before our ferry ."

Anesea City

10/10 Excellent

"Really friendly welcome even though we were late arriving. Rooms are stylish, modern and clean. We only stayed one night as we were moving to a resort the next day but would definitely visit again."

Villa with Private Pool, Jacuzzi & BBQ for up to 8 guests

10/10 Excellent

"This villa is amazing! And larger than it looks in the photos. The views are incredible, the villa is huge and the pool is fantastic! We stayed ten days there and loved it. Communication with Maria was brilliant - she answered every query promptly and was so helpful. There is absolutely everything you could possibly need, from bin bags to washing detergent! Wifi was good inside and outside, and there is air conditioning throughout the villa.The villa was immaculate, clean and spacious. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding pristine, all bedrooms fitted with shutters and/or blinds. Plenty of good quality towels were provided for inside and out. Sitting out on the two balconies to watch the beautiful sunsets or relaxing by the pool on one of the many loungers was such a treat. Do note that the pool is deep everywhere (apart from the jacuzzi area), which made for great diving for our two sons. And you really need a car. But all in all, I cannot recommend this villa and its owners highly enough."

The Pal Living in a Concept

10/10 Excellent

"A very avant-garde boutique hotel. Location was perfect for walking to many areas to visit. Staff was exceptional! Room was clean, artfully decorated! Highly recommend"
