Erato Hotel

Located 800 metres from the beach, this peaceful and traditional hotel comes with its own outdoor swimming pool – ideal for enjoying the warm sunshine on the island of Crete.

The Hotel Erato is set in Gournes Pediados, just 15 km to the east of Heraklion. Here you can enjoy the golden sands and clear waters of the Eastern Mediterranean.

Each evening, dine in the Erato’s charming, wood-and-stone restaurant. There is also an informal bar where you can relax with a refreshing drink.

Local attractions include the island’s international exhibition centre and one of Greece’s biggest aquariums. A range of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops are found in the nearby resort centre. You can also dance the night away in Chersonissos, a 10-minute drive away.
