Aquila Atlantis Hotel
Stayed there in June 2025. Staff were fantastic. Hotel really good. Only thing I would have slightly criticised was the lack of water heating in the swimming pools. Still able to enjoy a swim, though. Otherwise, I couldn’t fault it at all.

Heraklion Old Port Apartments
Very good location with many nice restaurants nearby. The apartment is well equipped although it is a little but dated looking. There was quite a bit of road noise that made it difficult to sleep but at least it stopped in the middle of the night.

Marble Luxury Suites
The room was perfect for us as we needed two separate bedrooms. Having a kitchen was ideal for cooking a quick meal in the morning before heading to the airport. The owners were quick to respond and proactive which made check in easy.
