Open throughout the year, the friendly and elegant Castello City Hotel is the ideal choice for the visitor to the city of Heraklion. The hotel is situated by the ancient “Pantoktator” Gate and offers lovely views of the sea, the old city, and the famous Venetian walls. Close to the commercial and historical center of the town, next to the bus and taxi stations, and with easy access to and from the airport and port, it is the ideal base for both tourists and business travelers. The hotel has recently come under new management, and a renovation program has been completed(March 2014).

Our brand-new bar-lounge café and à la carte restaurant ‘The Fifth Floor’ is open mornings, evenings and nights, providing stunning views of the sea, the Venetian walls and the old city, offering exclusive services for hotel guests. At night guests can enjoy a complimentary drink or choose a candlelit dinner of local dishes and pastries prepared by our chef in the Greek tradition, while relaxing to the sounds of chill-out music, taking in the views from ‘The Fifth Floor’.
