Stay 365 Heraklion Apart Hotel

Heraklio Town - 1,050 yards from beach

Situated within 1.4 km of Amoudara Beach and 2.7 km of Venetian Walls in Heraklio Town, Stay 365 Heraklion Apart Hotel features accommodation with seating area and a kitchen. There is a private entrance at the aparthotel for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood at the city's outskirts; not too far, not too close from the center (but much preferable for those that have visited Heraclion again). I really appreciated this site, despite my initial feeling that I would be kind of isolated. On top of this the rooms are truly apartments! More than spacious and clean, with a fully equipped kitchenette & private balcony with city view. The breakfast is served at a cosy coffee shop next to the reception - it is not a buffet but it is really nice and filling. The whole building smells wonderfully and there is daily cleaning service. My biggest rate and thanks would go to the stuff ♥ they are so friendly and always willing to offer tips, ideas and any kind of assistance. Thank you Petros and stuff for your excellent facilities and overall good vibe!

White Swan

Rethymno Town - 200 yards from beach

White swan offers accommodation in Kallithea of Rethymno. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The property offers bike hire and features a garden and outdoor pool. Surprised by staff hospitality. Could not expect that I would feel at home. Usually pictures don't fit reality. In our case, everything was just perfect for our 3 days stay. The place is just as new as it looks and we can see the attention to detail. Roof top has a jacuzzi style bathtub perfect to end the day.
