Heraklion: 3, 5, or 6-Night Winter City Break with Tours Weekend Escape (2 Nights)

Discover Heraklion on a 3, 5, or 6-night winter city break with a stay in a modern aparthotel. Enjoy airport transfers, a breakfast basket, and a semi-private tour of your choice.
Begin your journey with a comfortable stay in a centrally located modern aparthotel in Heraklion, with easy access to the city's main sights, cafés, and restaurants. On arrival, receive a breakfast basket for your entire stay. It is provided once and not refilled.

When you land at Heraklion International Airport (HER), a private transfer takes you straight to your accommodation, so your trip starts without any hassle.

Discover the city's most beautiful spots at your own pace and on your own schedule. Walk to the Venetian fortress of Koules guarding the old harbor, stop by the Morosini Fountain in Lions Square, and admire the Church of Saint Titus, the Cathedral of Saint Minas, and the Basilica of Saint Mark. Then stroll along pedestrian 25th August Street, which leads from the old harbor to the heart of the city.

Shopping in Heraklion has something for everyone. Lose yourself in the colors and aromas of the old market, where you can pick up Cretan herbs, olive oil, local cheeses, and souvenirs. A few steps away, the city's main shopping streets are home to international brands such as Zara, H&M, Mango, Sephora, and others.

Crete is the home of the Mediterranean diet, and Heraklion is the perfect place to taste it. Look for the small local tavernas hidden in the alleys of the old town, where simple dishes are made with fresh local ingredients. Then take a break in one of the city's cafés: try bougatsa, the traditional pastry served in Heraklion's famous old cafés, or head to a modern coffee bar for a huge variety of coffee, from traditional Greek coffee to today's favorite, the freddo espresso.

Throughout your stay, a local representative who speaks English, German, and French is available to help with tips, bookings, and anything you need.

Make the most of your break with guided small-group excursions of your choice from the winter program. Depending on your package, 1, 2, or 3 excursions are included, and any others are available at an extra charge:

• Knossos Palace & Lasithi Plateau: Explore the Minoan palace of Knossos, visit the Kera and Vidiani monasteries, discover the Cave of Zeus, the mythical birthplace of the king of the gods, watch potters at work in a ceramics workshop, and spend free time in the mountain village of Tzermiado.
• Arkadi Monastery & Rethymno: Visit the historic Arkadi Monastery, a symbol of Cretan freedom, then enjoy about three hours of free time in Rethymno's Venetian old town and harbor.
• Authentic Crete with Wine Tasting: Taste Cretan honey at a Minoan farm, tour a family winery with a tasting of four wines, visit the Monastery of Saint George Epanosifis, and stroll around the village of Archanes.
• Plaka, Spinalonga & Agios Nikolaos: See Spinalonga Island from the fishing village of Plaka, walk around Voulismeni Lake in Agios Nikolaos, and finish with an olive oil tasting.

At the end of your stay, a private transfer takes you back to Heraklion Airport, making your departure as smooth as your arrival.
