Our take
Aquila Atlantis scores 8.7 from almost 1,200 reviews, a strong record for a large city hotel. Few hotels in Heraklion pair a central spot, 200 metres from the Archaeological Museum, with two pools, one of them looking over the harbour. The spa and the elegant restaurant add to the comfort. It also hosts events, so I would ask for a harbour-view room on a higher floor for a calmer stay.
- ✓Consider booking a room with harbor views for the best outlook over the city and sea.
- ✓Take advantage of the spa and wellness facilities for a truly relaxing break during your stay.
- ✓Walk to the Archaeological Museum, it's just a short distance from the hotel and a must-see.

Why guests love itAquila Atlantis is a five-star hotel within 200 metres of the Heraklion Archaeological Museum, so families can see the Minoan collection and be back for a swim the same morning. There are two pools, an outdoor one with harbour views and a semi-covered one that works on windy or cooler days. Rooms have parquet floors and face the city, the harbour or the atrium. Parents can use the spa while the other keeps watch at the pool. I would choose it for a central, comfortable family base.
