City Center Apartment Project 3 by Creatan Houses, Heraklio Town

City Center Apartment Project 3 by Creatan Houses is a self-catering apartment base in Heraklio Town, Greece, set at 7 Sapfous for an easy start to days spent exploring the city. With an overall guest rating of 8.7/10 from 27 reviews, it’s the kind of place travelers tend to choose for practicality and comfort rather than luxury frills, and many mention that the apartment feels like a home base. Families are welcome, and the non-smoking setup helps keep the space comfortable for everyone.

The apartment’s air conditioning is a clear plus in Crete’s warmer months, and the property follows enhanced cleanliness measures, including disinfecting between stays and effective coronavirus-related cleaning standards. Guests also note the smoothness of contactless-style convenience, since cashless payment is available, and they appreciate that staff adhere to local safety protocols. If you’re road-tripping, the “car hire” option is useful for building a flexible itinerary around Heraklion and beyond.

Location matters here: Heraklion Archaeological Museum is about 1 km away, making it simple to fit in before or after lunch, while the Venetian Walls sit roughly 1.5–2 km from the apartment for a scenic walk. For a change of pace, the port area and Koules Fortress are around 2 km, and Knossos Palace is about 5 km for those planning a day trip.

This stay is best for families and groups who want city-center access, a non-smoking apartment environment, and the freedom to manage meals and schedules at their own pace.
