After a couple of hours of relatively smooth sailing, we crept into Heraklion harbour.
I’d chosen the Megaron hotel because it was near the harbour and I’d read good reviews about their service. It was only about a ten minute stroll from where we disembarked the ferry, so it was easy enough to drag my bags there. The hotel was lovely, with beautiful rooms. Mine had a view out to the harbour, which was fabulous!
