There are places that simply host you, and places that invite you to become part of them, to surrender to the sea breeze to explore the wild landscapes, and discover the aroma of the healing herbs. Places like Crete—and its people. Metaxa Hotel stands as an imaginative tenth gate to the city, inspired by the nine historic entrances of Heraklion’s Venetian Walls and welcomes guests into an atmosphere so familiar, that feels like returning home to a place you’ve never been. With 12 suites, each inspired by the Cretan landscape, it craves an immersive experience framed by uninterrupted views of the harbor and the endless blue. Balancing minimalistic aesthetics with rich textures, it offers a sense of comfort that flows naturally Bridging the vibrant energy of the city center with effortless access to its most iconic landmarks, Metaxa Hotel lets the story of Heraklion unfold around you. Located on “Eleftheria” Square, just 100 meters from the renowned Archeological Museum and its Minoan treasures, you are close enough to almost touch history. Dedicated to personalized hospitality, we offer a stay that is tailored exclusively to you.
