You can stroll along Old Venetian Harbor for relaxing water views when you're in Old Town Chania. Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here? If you carry on walking you'll get to Koum Kapi Beach and Nea Chora Beach for some more water views.
Whether you want to hunt for sand dollars or smell the fresh air, Agia Marina Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 0.4 mi (0.7 km) from central Agia Marina. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Stalos Beach, Platanias Beach, and Kalamaki Beach.
If being by the water is a major draw, Nea Chora Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 0.8 mi (1.2 km) from central Chania. Catch the sunset by the shore at Golden Beach and Aptera Beach, located nearby.
Whether you want to hunt for sand dollars or smell the fresh air, Kalamaki Beach is a spot you might want to check out when visiting Kato Galatas. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Agioi Apostoloi Beach and Sunset Beach, both within a short walk.
When the beach is calling your name, you might want to head down to Platanias Beach, located 0.7 mi (1.1 km) from central Platanias Town. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Agia Marina Beach, Máleme Beach, and Stalos Beach.
This hotel was great! The room was a great size and had spectacular views of the harbor. Everyone is very helpful and you also have access to all the amenities of the main Chania Hotel a few blocks away.

This was my favorite hotel in Crete. Very well decorated and stylish, while retaining a Greek islands feel. Eva and staff were extremely helpful and hospitable. The breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend this for your stay in chania.

Stayed for 2 nights with my family and had a great time. The space was big and located just 20 minutes from downtown Chania. We arrived late the first night and had no issues checking in with the instructions. Very responsive host and great overall experience!

Everything across the board was A+. Although I live in the States, I have family in Crete and travel often. The space is huge, the host is extremely attentive, the location and cleanliness + space was top. Quite perfect.

Where do I start... The view was spectacular, the apartment was beyond our expectations very comfortable and spacious and in walking distance to restaurants, bars and shopping. Even though the apartment is in a great location and on the Harbour you could not here the noise from the Harbour. Our apartment had two bedrooms located downstairs that had their own bathrooms with two large tubs to relax in after a long day of site seeing. Upon arrival we met the housekeeper Helena who showed us around...

The location was absolutely perfect, and the check-in process was easy. Vaggelis was very helpful, friendly, and we will HANDS DOWN stay here again, every time. There is no parking, so I would say that is the only drawback. However, the location is near a street right behind the alley (straight shot and paved) where you contemporarily pull up your car to unload your luggage.LOVED my Nespresso coffee maker & pods in the morning and our little balcony was so charming.

Local bus from Airport was $3 Euro a person n it’s nice. They drop you off at the bus station in old town n it was a 8 minute walk to the hotel. Taxi’s arent allowed to drop you off in front of the hotel. You have to walk w your luggage...

The room was 4th floor, seaside view. There were two rooms, a kitchenette, and A/C. It was clean and looked good. Beds wwre comfortable. The staff was wonderful. The items available at the desk were a lifesaver - pool and beach items, water, beer, snacks, etc.
The location is perfect - close to the main area but without the all night noise. You can get to the historic port easily and quicky walking long the ocean walk. The restaurants nearby are excellent.

Super nice staff. Very quite place, and there's a grocery store right across the street. However, It seemed that I was the only one guest due to the off-season

We had a wonderful stay in the split level sea view 2 bedroom. The only possible downside was that the hotel is expanding and you can hear construction noise during the day. It didn’t bother us. The pool is really lovely. It looks like next year there will be two pools and a hot tub. I would stay here again. We were a 7 min walk from the grocery stores / bakeries. We were about a 12-15 min walk from the city center of kissamous. The restaurants by the water are lovely especially Tavern 1960.
