Chic retreat with incredible views

Located in the capital city’s main square, Capsis Astoria Heraklion is just a 10-minute cab ride from the soft golden sand and shallow, clear water of Amoudara Beach. Fancy some history? The legendary Palace of Knossos is also just a 15-minute drive, steeped in ancient Minoan history. 

The hotel’s sleek, airy rooms are designed to make relaxation effortless. With cool, neutral tones and plenty of space to stretch out, they’re the ideal retreat after a day of exploring. You’ll have all the comforts you need – air con to beat the heat, free wi-fi for streaming, and beds so plush, you might just cancel your plans and indulge in a duvet day! Many rooms also boast enchanting views of the city or the sparkling Cretan Sea, giving you a front-row seat on Heraklion’s beauty.

When it’s time to cool off, the rooftop pool is ready to wow you with sweeping panoramic vistas of the capital city’s skyline and the coast. Whether you’re lounging in the sun or taking a refreshing dip, it’s the ultimate spot for soaking up those Cretan rays. And there’s also a well-equipped gym if you don’t want to take a holiday from your fitness routine. 

Start your mornings at the Erofili Restaurant with a breakfast buffet that’ll keep you coming back for more. Expect a spread of fresh Cretan pastries, creamy Greek yoghurt, and international favourites. If you’re after a meal with a view, the Capsis 360° Rooftop Bar is the place to be. Enjoy a light bite or refreshing drink while taking in the stunning views of the Venetian harbour. And with Heraklion’s vibrant dining scene just a short stroll away, you’re never far from a delicious meal or lively night out.

With its central location in Heraklion, rooftop pool, and comfy rooms, whether you’re here to explore the city’s history, relax by the pool, or sip cocktails with a view, Capsis Astoria gives you the best of Heraklion all wrapped up in one sun-kissed package.

 Please note: rooftop bar and restaurant are open from May to mid-September. Gym and swimming pool are open from mid-May to early October.
