Affiliate Disclosure

StayHeraklion is a participant in various affiliate programs. This means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links and make a booking or purchase.

How it works

When you click an affiliate link on our site, a tracking cookie may be set by the partner site. If you make a purchase within a certain timeframe (usually 30 days), we may earn a small commission. This comes at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price whether or not you use our link.

Our affiliate partners

  • Booking.com (via Stay22): Hotel and accommodation bookings
  • GetYourGuide: Guided tours and tickets
  • LocalRent: Car hire in Crete
  • Direct Ferries: Ferry tickets to and from Crete
  • Travelpayouts: A travel affiliate network that connects us to booking partners

Automatic affiliate links

In addition to the links we place by hand, we use Travelpayouts' link service, which can automatically turn outbound links to travel booking sites into affiliate links. This means some links on this site earn us a commission even where they don't look any different from an ordinary link. As with every link here, it costs you nothing extra and never changes the price you pay.

Our editorial independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We write honest reviews and recommendations based on first-hand experience and thorough research. A higher commission rate does not result in a higher rating or more favorable review.

How we track clicks

We use Plausible Analytics — a cookieless, privacy-friendly service — to understand which recommendations are most useful to our readers. Our affiliate partners set their own tracking cookies when you click through to them, as described above. We do not collect or share personally identifiable information through affiliate tracking.

Your support matters

When you book through our affiliate links, you support our work at no extra cost to you. This allows us to continue producing high-quality, independent travel content for Heraklion and Crete. Thank you for your support!
