Lato Boutique Hotel  

Perched above Heraklion’s old harbour, this boutique hotel sits in the heart of the city with direct views of the Venetian fortress and marina. It’s a short walk to Agios Titos Church, Heraklion Loggia, the Archaeological Museum, the central market and Koules Fortress — Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (HER) is about 4.3 km away.

Modern rooms renovated in 2021 deliver quality bedding, soundproofing and en suite bathrooms, with minibars, flat-screen TVs, safes and electric kettles in many rooms. Expect panoramic harbor views from the terrace and rooms, 365-day service, and warm Cretan hospitality that makes the hotel popular with couples, families and business travelers — pet-friendly too.

Dine on the rooftop restaurant or in one of two seasonal in-house restaurants, grab a drink at the bar, or lounge on the terrace and watch the fishing boats; a 24-hour reception and concierge keep things moving. Wellness and activity options include a spa area with sauna and massage, a gym/fitness center and even diving-club access, plus complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout.

High-speed internet and a computer station keep you connected, while two meeting rooms and a conference centre handle events; express check-out, dry cleaning and a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) add convenience. Free self-parking is available onsite.

Enjoy fresh seafood and local Cretan specialties across the hotel’s restaurants, sip cocktails at the bar or grab coffee in the café. Buffet breakfast is served daily (7:00–10:30, for a fee) and limited room service is available.
