The modern Heraklion port was firstly established in the 20th century and expanded eastwards of its older predecessor, the 700-year-old Venetian port that now serves as an attraction and a place of pleasure. Heraklion port is the second largest and busiest harbour in Greece after Piraeus.

The port is conveniently located along the middle part of the Cretan highway that serves the northern part of the island. The highway offers an easy getaway to the towns of Agios Nikolaos, Sitia, Kissamos, Rethymnon, Chania and Heraklion. It is busy all-year-round with an approximate number of 2 million visitors annually. The port services very popular routes such as Piraeus-Athens, Thessaloniki and a number of Aegean islands. Itineraries are regular and for other major ports, ships depart daily.

The Harbour hosts visitors for both touristic purposes and commercial activities. It possesses an array of facilities for the convenience of all travellers. In close proximity to the port, one can find in abundance shops, cafes and restaurants within a short walking distance.

The port is an 'umbrella' term covering both the new Heraklion Ferry Port and the old Venetian Harbour. The 'Castello a Mare' more widely known as Koules is a significant walled structure marking the entrance to the old Venetian port. The fortress dates back to the 16th century and is presumed that Cretan rebels were tortured in its underground chambers by mercenaries of the Ottoman Empire during the times of Crete's occupation. The Heraklion old town is located nearby, thus after a visit to the Fortress travellers can enjoy a walk through the vibrant streets of the city or taste some delicacies prepared by the friendly and hospitable locals.

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Vathi as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Vathi is located 10km south of Agios Nikolaos, in the area of Kritsa, just before the beaches of Istron next to the national road connecting Agios Nikolaos with Ierapetra. Vathi is a tiny village popular because of its beach which is artificial and belongs to a huge resort nearby.

The beach is formed in a narrow bay, which is very well protected from the winds. Only easterly winds could affect the area, but they are very rare in Crete. The beach has fine whitish sand, making the colours of the sea stunning. In this connection, a lot of bright sand was added, which gives the water some lovely turquoise shades. The water is not very shallow, but it is almost always calm as the beach is well protected inside a bay. The hotel has arranged for top-class facilities at the beach, including sunbeds, umbrellas, showers and toilets. The beach is easy to access for the visitors at the hotel. However, everyone else must face a few challenges to access the beach, but it is possible to pass the hotel on the left side via a nice path. There are plenty of parking spaces.
