Heraklion’s mercantile landmark reborn
The Megaron was built as a commercial headquarters during Heraklion’s early twentieth-century prosperity. Its stone façade and generous proportions still command the harbour edge, while the interior now balances period gravity with the practical polish of a city hotel.
Sea-facing rooms look across the Venetian port, and the seasonal rooftop pool is a rare advantage in the centre. The archaeological museum, market and buses to Knossos are close. It is the strongest choice for travellers who want Heraklion’s history to continue after museum closing time.
