Atrion Hotelour review and getting there from Heraklion Airport
A three-star hotel at 9 Chronaki Street, a few minutes’ walk from the town hall, the Historical Museum of Crete and the harbour. Around 6–10 minutes’ drive from Heraklion Airport.
Our verdict
A sensible mid-range base: good location, breakfast included, quick to the airport. No frills, no pool, no surprises.
Atrion Hotel and Heraklion Airport
Chronaki Street is on the western side of the old town, near the sea. A taxi from Heraklion Airport takes about 10–15 minutes depending on traffic and costs about €20–25.
What the hotel is like
A straightforward three-star connected to a conference centre, with a breakfast buffet, a terrace, a café and its Mediterranean restaurant, Four Seasons. Rooms are practical; the location and the price are the reasons to book.
Who it suits
Travellers on a budget who still want to walk to the harbour, and anyone with an early flight who needs a reliable, simple room. For a pool, see Galaxy or Capsis Astoria.
