Question Boutique Hotels in Heraklion, Crete

I'm looking for some recommendations for boutique or small hotels in Heraklion, Crete. I'm aiming for a unique stay that captures the local charm, rather than the usual big chain experience. If you've stayed in any cozy places that you loved, please share! Also, any tips on neighborhoods to explore would be awesome.

Heraklion is such a beautiful place to explore! I highly recommend checking out the 'Aquila Atlantis Hotel' for a boutique experience combined with local charm. Another great option is 'Lato Boutique Hotel,' which has stunning views of the old harbor. As for neighborhoods, don't miss the charming streets of the old town, where you can stumble upon local shops and cafes that really capture the essence of Crete. Have you thought about visiting the Palace of Knossos while you're there? It's a fascinating piece of history!
