Location
In the heart of Heraklion
A quiet street that opens straight onto the old city — the harbour, the market and the museums all within a short walk.
DOM sits on Almirou, a calm street set just back from the noise of the centre — yet the harbour, the market and the great museums are all an easy, unhurried walk from the door.

Around the city
What's nearby
The best of Heraklion, and the island beyond it — most of it close enough to reach on foot.
Venetian Harbour & Koules
The 16th-century sea fortress and the working harbour — loveliest at dusk.
The old market
Heraklion's covered market street — spice, herbs, cheese and good noise.
Archaeological Museum
One of Greece's great museums, and the Minoan collection in full.
Morosini Fountain
The lion fountain at the lively heart of the city, ringed with cafés.
The Palace of Knossos
The Minoan palace and the myth of the labyrinth, just beyond the city.
City beaches
Quiet swimming and a clear sea, a short drive along the coast.
