Marin Dreamour review and getting there from Heraklion Airport
A three-star hotel with 44 rooms at Epimenidou 46, close to the Venetian harbour and the Koules fortress. Around 5 km and 15 minutes from Heraklion Airport.
Our verdict
A well-rated, affordable base by the harbour: you trade a pool for a great location and a short ride to the airport.
Marin Dream and Heraklion Airport
Epimenidou Street runs above the old harbour. From Heraklion Airport, a taxi takes 10–20 minutes for about €20–25. Note: some listings call it Marin Hotel; check the address (Epimenidou 46) when you book.
What the hotel is like
Forty-four rooms with minibars and safes, free wifi in the public areas and steady guest ratings (around 8 out of 10 on thousands of reviews). The harbour, the fish tavernas and the fortress are on the doorstep.
Who it suits
Couples and budget travellers who want the harbour at the door. For a rooftop restaurant on the same street, compare Lato Boutique Hotel.
