Location
If you wonder just how beautiful and inspiring a panorama can be, Lato Boutique Hotel answers in one word: breathtaking. Overlooking Heraklion’s Venetian landmark Koules Fortress, the hotel affords guests an intimate vantage point to peer out at the endlessly blue Cretan Sea. The peaceful and colorful central market is only a few steps away. The museums, the Venetian harbor, with the fishing boats and the yacht marina, the parks, the gardens, the city cafes and all ancient Heraklion lay at your front doorstep.
Eight minutes drive from Nikos Kazantzakis International Airport, three minutes on foot to the central bus station and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, the Historical Museum of Crete around the corner, these and all our city’s landmarks are moments away. Lato is positioned both above, overlooking, and amid the best Crete’s capital has to offer. Even Knossos Palace is only fifteen minutes by car or bus, on the outskirts of Heraklion. More than location, view, and convenience though, Lato Boutique Hotel is a real part of what makes this city so special.
