Heraklion Old Port Apartments

Wonderful hotel nice welcoming Room very clean n full of kitchen good location Staffs helpful I like this place

Great location huge apartment well equipped city parking 12 euro a day nearby highly recommended

Great location, easy access and good communication. Apartment was very small, smallest double bed we have ever slept in (basically a big single pushed against the wall). Fine for a night or two.

Spacious suite with wraparound balcony and the reception staff were lovely and very helpful.

For many years I have traveled 100 or more days a year. In SEP-OCT 2022, I traveled for a month in Greece staying at 12 hotels (and on an overnight Ferry). In this context and related to price, Heraklion Old Port Apartments was above average. PROS: Cost was very reasonable. The room with living room was clean, very spacious and with a well provided kitchen and fridge (supermarket food was extremely inexpensive in Crete). There were extra towels so no need for service. The young woman at the desk was very helpful and cordial. CONS: Close to the old port but about 700 meters to center of town and more to the National Museum or the main bus station (to Knossos or to the beaches). Still all can be reach by walking. The add say the room had great views which did not materialize. Heraklion has a lively main street around the fountain of the lions and a Great museum on the Minoan civilization which was spectacular. The museum in Heraklion was great but Knossos (reach by city bus) was very disappointing since I care for historical archaeology and not for the distorted recreation of the site by an over-imaginative British amateur. The beaches near Heraklion (which can be reach by inexpensive regular city buses) are adequate but not spectacular. In late September the beaches were not crowded at all, but still with warm water to swim. Heraklion was of interest in itself and where I rented the car to visit the rest of Crete (Xania with a picturesque Venetian port, spectacular Elefonsina Beach great for snorkeling, great ruins of Faestos, and many other atttractions). I spent 6 nights in Crete and could have enjoyed another week at least. Next trip I will stay longer in Crete. Parting remarks: Greece is wonderful, except for the touristic islands which were crowded even in October and I may skip them altogether next time. The Peloponesse resulted better than expected. Athens was safe anytime anywhere I moved, even after midnight. Travel light because not all hotels have elevators and in ancient towns you will climb many stairs and walk over cobblestones. Missing church number 59 was OK, sitting in a café watching people go by and doing nothing was inspiring even for hyper me. I had a wonderful trip.

We stayed the first time at Heraklion Old Port Apartments. The situation is perfect as you are in the City Center but you have no noise. We had a big apartment as we were 5 persons. Everything was perfect and we spent wonderful days there. If you need help you can ask Maria. She is so helpful, kind and friendly. THANK YOU SO MUCH MARIA and greetings to you and your family. If we come back to Heraklion , then sure we return to Heraklion Old Port Apartments.

Easy walk to all things needed and very close to the ferry port.

A very recommendable place to stay!
