Edward

Liked: Staff & service

Very good.

This hotel is across the street from the Iraklion harbor, offering interesting views of ships coming and going and a close-up of the Venetian fort. It’s also within the old city, with pedestrian-only streets full of local people and busy indoor-outdoor restaurants. (This was in May during comfortable weather.) The interior of the hotel reflects the inventive upgrade of 2023. The only drawback was the lackluster food, but as I said there are numerous restaurants a few minutes away by foot.

Exquisite comfort in the port town

A luxurious hotel right at the port. Heraklion itself is not that great as a destination (though the museum is good), but the Megaron is the best place to stay if you come into the port.

We had a wonderful overnight stay at the Megaron, and were very impressed with the standard of our room, which was spacious, clean and extremely comfortable. The large bathroom had a great shower, and we loved the Korres toiletries. The buffet breakfast was amongst the best we've had at any hotel. Staff very friendly and professional, with nothing too much trouble.
