The Blossom Collection is a set of properties in Heraklion city — an option for travellers who want to stay in the capital rather than a resort area.
Editorial note: This property is connected to the Crete Guide team. We have included it here as a disclosed editorial pick. It is one option to consider for Heraklion — the city has a wider range of accommodation at various price points.
The location
Heraklion is the largest city in Crete and the main arrival point for the island. Staying in the city gives access to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, the covered market, Knossos (15 minutes by bus), and the E75 road that connects Crete east and west.
The city centre has a genuine local restaurant and café scene — distinct from the resort strip east of the airport.
