Candia Suites

Candia Suites is a suite-style property at 13-15 Lahana Street in central Heraklion, Crete, Greece. Lahana Street sits in the restaurant quarter close to Lions Square (Morosini Fountain), so the building is surrounded by tavernas, cafes and bars, and the evening atmosphere is lively. The Cathedral of Agios Minas, the Venetian loggia and the busy market street of 1866 are minutes away on foot, while the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and the old harbour with the Koules fortress can be reached by an easy stroll. Bus stations for Knossos and for services across Crete are a short walk or taxi ride away, so the address is practical for car-free sightseeing. The accommodation consists of suites with a kitchenette, a format that suits longer stays, families and travellers who prefer to prepare some meals themselves. Suites offer more space than a standard hotel room, and the kitchenette makes it simple to keep drinks, fruit and local cheeses on hand. There is no pool, spa or beach, so the offer is a central, flexible base. For dining, the immediate neighbourhood is one of the best in the city: Cretan specialities such as dakos, boureki, lamb baked with potatoes, fresh fish and raki after the meal are served within a few steps. Indicative high-season prices for a double room run from about EUR 70 to EUR 130 per night, placing the property in the mid-range. The service style is that of an apartment-hotel with a lighter touch than a full-service hotel, so arrival arrangements and any extras such as cleaning or airport transfers are best confirmed in advance. The property suits couples, friends and families who want to be in the middle of Heraklion's nightlife and food scene and are comfortable with some street noise in summer. The sandy beaches of Ammoudara lie west of the city.
