Legacy Gastro suites

You could visit Crete and eat well. Or you could stay somewhere that makes the food part of the whole experience. Legacy Gastro Suites is a five-star boutique hotel on Heraklion's Eleftherias Square, right in the heart of Crete's capital.

The city itself is worth the trip. Ancient museums, a working harbour, bustling squares, and some of the finest local food you will find anywhere on the island. Inside, the hotel keeps things intimate and serene. There is a limited number of suites, and each one is inspired by a celebrated Cretan artist, writer, or poet. The building is a restored old building. It exuberates a warm, serene feel, with velvet furnishings and careful details throughout.

Every suite comes stocked with local cheeses, honey, wine, and elusive-to-find Greek produce. It is that kind of place. A thoughtful choice for couples and curious travellers who want their stay to mean something.
