Atrion

Highlights

• Right in the action – Heraklion’s shops, bars, and museums are just a few steps away.

• Greek food galore – tuck into Cretan dishes that’ll make you forget all about meal deals.

• Leafy patio perfection – breakfast, cocktails, or just pretending you’re on a magazine shoot.

Overview

Welcome to the Atrion Hotel, where modern style meets prime location – and yes, there’s enough tzatziki to go around. Smack dab in Heraklion’s lively centre, this place is perfect for city slickers who want it all: the culture, the cafés, and the cocktails. Plus, the beach isn’t far, so you can split your time between sightseeing and sun-worshipping.

Freshly renovated, the Atrion knows how to keep things sleek and simple. Whether you’re here for a city break, a quick business trip (snooze), or a pit stop on your Cretan adventure, this hotel has got you sorted. Think modern rooms, a leafy patio that’s Insta gold, and a bar that serves the kind of wine that makes you wish you lived here.

Location

Set in the heart of Heraklion, the Atrion is so central you’ll feel like you own the city. Step outside, and you’re seconds away from shops, buzzing bars, and the Venetian walls. Fancy some ancient history? The Archaeological Museum is a short walk, and the iconic Knossos Palace is just a quick drive away.

And don’t worry about complicated journeys – Heraklion Airport is only 6km away, meaning you’ll be checking in before you’ve even had a chance to complain about your flight snacks.

Rooms

The Atrion Hotel keeps it simple yet stylish, offering a range of modern rooms that cater to solo travellers, couples, and families alike. Each room is bright, spacious, and decked out with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Expect air conditioning (a lifesaver in Crete), private balconies or verandas perfect for a morning coffee or evening tipple, and en-suite bathrooms complete with hairdryers and complimentary toiletries.

You’ll also find thoughtful extras like minibars for midnight snacks, satellite TVs for those lazy evenings, and free Wi-Fi to keep you connected (or just to upload all those holiday snaps). 

Food & Drink

Ready to eat like a Greek god? The Four Seasons Restaurant dishes up Cretan favourites and Mediterranean classics, so loosen that belt and dig in. Whether it’s a proper brekkie, a light lunch, or dinner under the stars, you’ll be leaving with a full belly and zero regrets.

Over in the Lobby Bar, you can sip on Cretan wines, sample an exquisite cocktail, or fuel your morning with coffee and pastries. Warning: the pastries might ruin all other pastries for you.

Sports & Entertainment

The Atrion isn’t about treadmills and gyms – it’s about kicking back and letting Heraklion entertain you.

• TV Room: Whether it’s a blockbuster or the big match, you’ve got a big screen and comfy seats waiting.

• Patio: Start your day with breakfast surrounded by plants, or unwind with a cocktail in this little green oasis.

• Internet Corner: For “checking work emails” (aka Googling the best beaches nearby).
