Software Development & Web Design in Heraklion
Software development, web design and hosting for Heraklion hotels, olive oil and wine producers and Crete service businesses, delivered remotely from Bucharest in Greek and English.
Heraklion, with 145,000 residents, is the largest city on Crete and its main airport and port, with the University of Crete and the FORTH research institute close by. Hotels, olive oil and wine producers and exporters sell to visitors and overseas buyers who start with a search.
What a business in Heraklion has to get right
Greek businesses report invoices through the myDATA platform, and mandatory B2B e-invoicing is being phased in from 2026. The Hellenic Data Protection Authority supervises GDPR, and NIS2 applies through Law 5160/2024. Tourism sites need English at minimum and often German, Dutch and Scandinavian versions.
How we work with Heraklion
GRADAX works from one office in Bucharest and delivers to Heraklion remotely, in the same time zone as you. Sites can be built in Greek and English, and meetings happen by video. Hosting runs in EU datacentres in Germany and Finland.
