Motley Luxury Apartment by Estia is a high-scoring base for staying in Heraklio Town, Greece, with a guest rating of 9.5/10 from 39 reviews. The apartment is set on Παλαμα Κωστη 11, placing you within easy reach of the city’s main sights while still benefiting from soundproof rooms for quieter evenings. Reviews frequently point to the practical comfort of air conditioning and the calm feel of the interior, which helps when you want to recharge between museum visits and late dinners. A terrace adds a simple outdoor pause, whether you’re having a slow morning coffee or winding down after a day on foot.

For sightseeing, you’re well placed for the Venetian Walls (about 1 km) and the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion (about 1 km), two anchors for first-time visitors.

The lift and express check-in/check-out are also noted as time-savers, especially for guests arriving after a travel day.

This is best for couples and small families who want a peaceful, self-contained stay in a central neighbourhood, without giving up access to Heraklion’s restaurants, markets, and cultural landmarks. Guests also mention non-smoking comfort throughout the property and the value of discounted offsite parking when you’re bringing a car for day trips.
