Vespera City Hotel: Where Every Sunset Tells a Story

Embrace the charm of Vespera City Hotel, a beacon of neoclassical elegance and modern sophistication located in the vibrant heart of Heraklion, Crete. Overlooking the majestic Cretan Sea, Vespera offers guests a unique vantage point to witness the breathtaking sunset, a daily spectacle that paints the horizon with hues of gold and purple.

This exquisite hotel stands as a harmonious blend of historical charm and contemporary comfort, thoughtfully renovated to preserve its architectural heritage while introducing a sleek, modern aesthetic.

Strategically positioned for both leisure and exploration, Vespera City Hotel is a stone’s throw away from Heraklion’s bustling city center, renowned museums, and the historic Venetian port of Koules. Its proximity to transportation hubs makes it a convenient gateway to the island’s treasures.

Vespera, meaning ‘evening’ in Latin, encapsulates the essence of this idyllic retreat – a place where the sun’s final rays embrace every corner, offering a “sunset window” from all areas. It promises an experience steeped in Cretan hospitality, where every stay is not just a visit but a journey into the heart of Crete’s rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes.

Everything was great ! We are a family of 3 with a 6yo and a dog. The service was amazing . The hotel is new. The rooms were stunning with all the amenities needed. Walking distance to the city center and with a very good 24h parking a few steps away from the hotel. The sea view and colors was breathtaking. The breakfast that was served was made in the moment which is actually not common to enjoy your omelette as soon as it's made. We loved it and we will definitely be back. The staff was very kind and helpful.

A very charming hotel with love to the detail. Amazingly big room with a very cozy atmosphere. Everything was brand new. Magnificent view to the sea with nice sunsets! Although the room overlooked a main road with heavy traffic we slept like babies as the room was soundproof and the mattress was super comfortable. Very convenient location, everything was in walking distance. The owner was very friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations. All in all it was a very good experience, breakfast could get better though. We would definitely rebook the hotel without hesitation!

Great location, clean and very nice and helpful hosts!We were warmly welcomed and the parking space was taken care of immediately.The room is designed with great attention to detail and we had a great view of the sea. What is most important to us: 100% cleanlinessThe center is just a stone's throw away. The hustle and bustle can be reached quickly but you are still spared it in this hotel. Really great location! I can absolutely recommend this hotel!!

Explore the location

Heraklion, Crete's largest city, unfolds on the island's north coast, a vibrant tapestry of history, mythology, and modern vitality. This ancient city, believed to have been the port of Knossos, whispers tales of Zeus and Europa, Minos, and the Minoan civilization that once thrived here.

Explore Heraklion like a local!

Strabo's ancient texts and the Herculean myths echo through the streets, blending seamlessly with the remnants of Venetian grandeur, from imposing walls to the iconic Koules fortress, the elegant Loggia, and the Morozini Fountain at Liontaria Square.

As the birthplace of El Greco and the final resting place of Nikos Kazantzakis, Heraklion bridges the past and present, offering a rich canvas of cultural heritage. The Archaeological Museum stands as a testament to its deep roots, housing treasures from the Neolithic to the Roman era.

Modern Heraklion thrives as a bustling hub, its port and airport gateways to exploration. Amidst this lively urban landscape, visitors can indulge in diverse culinary delights, delve into a spirited nightlife, and immerse in a calendar brimming with cultural events, all while the ancient and contemporary threads of Heraklion weave a captivating narrative of resilience and beauty.
