Veneziano Boutique Hotel

Veneziano Boutique Hotel is a small boutique property in the old town of Heraklion, on Crete in Greece, near Agia Aikaterini Square. The square is one of the quieter corners of the historic centre, home to the Church of Agia Aikaterini of Sinai, which houses a museum of post-Byzantine icons, and it sits beside the large cathedral of Agios Minas. From this position Lions Square and the Morosini Fountain, the Venetian harbour and the Koules fortress are all within an easy walk, and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum is a few minutes further. The name points to the Venetian era that shaped much of the city, when Heraklion was known as Candia and was ringed by the walls and bastions that still frame the centre. As a boutique hotel it offers a more intimate scale than the large resorts along the coast, and rooms are listed as double rooms. Breakfast is among the listed amenities. Dining in the surrounding streets covers traditional Cretan tavernas, grill houses, bakeries and modern cafes, so guests rarely need transport for an evening meal. Typical high-season rates run from about EUR 90 to 170 per night for a double room, positioning it between mid-range city hotels and the more expensive suites in the same district. The service character is that of a small urban hotel rather than a business or family resort: it suits couples and independent travellers who want a walkable base for museums, churches and the harbourfront. The airport is a short drive east of the centre, and the city bus network and taxis link the old town with Knossos, about five kilometres to the south. Visitors planning day trips to Phaistos, Gortyn, Rethymno or Chania will find the main bus stations reachable by taxi. Details such as pool, spa and fitness facilities are not confirmed for the property and should be checked directly before booking.
