The location affords easy access to Heraklion's International Airport and the Port, as well as excellent connections to all of Heraklion's sites, such as the Palace of Knossos and the Archaeological Museum.

The Galaxy Hotel, Heraklion's premier 5 star hotel for business and leisure, was completely renovated in 2008. It offers an unsurpassed combination of world-class facilities, warm and professional service, convenient location, and delicious food & beverage.
