Our take
GDM Megaron scores 9.3 from nearly 2,400 reviews, one of the strongest records in Heraklion. The 1925 building, classified as a monument, looks over the Venetian port and keeps the main sights within walking distance. A rooftop plunge pool, a health club and a spa add comfort, and free parking is a real bonus in the centre. I would book it for travellers who want history and five-star service at the same address.

Why guests love itGDM Megaron is a five-star hotel in a 1925 building classified as a monument, overlooking the old Venetian port of Heraklion, with the main sights a short walk away. Rooms and suites are elegant, and a rooftop plunge pool offers a cool dip after sightseeing, though it suits older children better than toddlers. Parents can use the health club and spa.
