“Legacy Gastro Suites impressed me with its dedication to Cretan heritage, which extends from the themed suites honoring local artists to the in-room offerings of regional products; the location places guests steps from the Archaeological Museum and vibrant shopping. Breakfast features Greek delicacies, served daily à la carte. It's a solid choice for experiencing Heraklion's culture.”
