The prefecture of Heraklion Crete is an area of long and rich history, where some of the most priceless archaeological monuments are located. The Minoan palaces and settlements scattered throughout the prefecture are a testimony of the grandeur of the Minoan civilization, which flourished approximately 5000 years ago on the island of Crete.

These magnificent monuments are partly the reason why Heraklion Crete is considered one of the most popular tourist resorts in Greece. Its tourist infrastructure caters to thousands of visitors every year, satisfying all types of travellers, from backpackers and budget tourists to VIP travellers and the jet-set. Hotels in Heraklion abound, with high-quality accommodation provided throughout the prefecture. Vacation Greece collaborates with Heraklion hotels, apartments and studios in both the busy tourist resorts and the quiet seaside settlements, enabling visitors to choose the kind of accommodation that best suits their needs.

Vacation Greece can arrange accommodation in Heraklion hotels in the capital Heraklion Town, as well as the seaside settlements of Hersonissos, Ammoudara, Agia Pelagia, Malia, Matala, Fodele, Hani Kokkini, Stalida, Ligaria, Koutouloufari, Analipsis, Gournes and Gouves.

If it’s historical sightseeing that you crave, Heraklion Crete is the ideal place for you. A plethora of Minoan cities and settlements are located throughout the prefecture, the most pre-eminent being the Knossos and its world-famous palace. Apart from Knossos, we also suggest visiting the ancient cities of Malia and Phaestos, as well as Archanes, Tylissos, Agia Pelagia, Amnissos, Gortyna, Levina, and Lyttos. Heraklion Town is a modern city, with busy streets that are full of people that scuttle around Venetian monuments, such as the main port and the town walls. In the capital you may also see wonderful museums where findings from ancient sites are displayed, as well as the town’s churches and cathedrals. Nature lovers can spend endless hours trekking on Mt. Youchtas and through the Viannos-Amira Gorge, or exploring the caves in Matala and Kamares.

Vacation Greece can also assist in finding the right beaches for you, depending on your preference. There are both much-frequented and quiet beaches to choose from, many of which are located next to our recommended hotels in Heraklion. On the northern coast, east and west of Heraklion Town, the finest beaches are Ammoudara, Agia Pelagia, Mononaftis, Fodele, Hersonissos, Gournes, Stalida, and Malia, while on the southern coast you will come across the stunning beaches of Matala, Lendas, Loutra, Agios Nikitas, Dermatos, Kalamaki and Katalyki.
