Hotel address: 75 Dimokratias Avenue, Crete, Greece 71306
Crete.
Heraklion Airport.
Ideally located near the center of Heraklion, the Galaxy Hotel has held sway as the leading hotel in Crete since its opening in 1978.
A superb lounge reflecting ambience and elegance. "Per Se" is the focal point of the hotel for guests and locals, a place to see and be seen. In a warm, congenial atmosphere, the bar offers premium brand spirits, local and international wines and inspired cocktails while the guests can also enjoy unique gourmet tastes, specially prepared by the chef. All of this is accompanied by music and, of course, warm and friendly service.
This magnificent restaurant filled with light coming through the glass windows-the inspiration for its name-viewing the water oasis of the hotel, invites you to a unique fine-dining experience. The chef, drawing his inspiration from the gastronomical treasures that abound in Crete, adds a daring touch to traditional dishes, creating delicious flavors worthy of even the most demanding palate.
The well awaited pool bar (expected to arrive in Summer 2009) is specially designed for casual comfort making it one of the most sought out places in the hotel. Light meals, casual dining and exotic cocktails are served.

Great location for getting out of town, we rented a car and did not have any major trouble getting out of the city. Also good for walking into the center of Iraklio.

Very Elegant Hotel But Pool Closes Early
Big Sun Oct 4, 2009
This was a really wonderful hotel! It made us feel rich with how elegant it was. The staff is very accomadating, in fact when ... we checked out we had to leave before breakfast was served and they gave us a free breakfast to go box! The free breakfast buffet is amazing with so many different selections! The location is so so, it at least allows you to get a little exercise! The pool was nice looking, but I was never able to use it because it was only open from 9am to 7pm. That was there only downfall. They also have free wireless internet which is great, just ask at the front desk for a sign in sheet. The rooms were also really nice and the made was so kind as to put my moms pj's back on the bed after very decortive! We had a good laugh about that but thought it was really thoughtful! And a little advice about going on the east/west crete tours, they tend to be REALLY long and sometimes the tour guide sucks at describing things. I would recommend the West crete tour if you are thinking of going on one. Oh and a taxi to the hotel from the airport should only cost 10 euros.

There is this wonderful restaurant that serves great greek food for a great price thats about a block away. When you leave the hotel go straight across the street and turn left. Its the last restaurant on this street. Oh and there servings are huge so you might wanna just share one meal between 2 people.
