Iro

About

Found on Crete, Iro stands at El. Venizelou 178, Limenas Chersonisou 700 14, Greece, on the island's northern coast.

Limenas Chersonisou sits east of Heraklion, so the hotel is reachable by road from the island's main towns, including Heraklion itself, along the northern coastal route. The hotel occupies a position in the resort strip of Limenas Chersonisou rather than in the interior. It operates as a hotel, with a rating of 3.6 out of 5 drawn from 253 reviews.

Its website, http://www.irohotel.com/, carries the hotel's own information. The setting places it within the built-up resort area, close to the coast road.

Most Greek islands are rocky and hilly, and olives, grapes and capers grow widely on terraced slopes, which shapes the landscape around the resorts. Winter brings rain and rough seas, and many island hotels and tavernas shut between November and March, so the travelling season is concentrated in the warmer months. Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Venetian remains are found across the islands, from Delos to the old town of Rhodes.
