The romantic city of Hersonissos entices visitors with popular attractions including Crete Golf Club and Acqua Plus Water Park, and is loved for the beach.
Imagine strolling along Heraklion Port for some great waterfront pics. It's located 0.6 mi (0.9 km) from central Heraklion.
Our travelers also like the museums in the area— your cultural tour starts here.
When you can't wait to soak up some sun, head to Balos Beach— one of the most popular seaside spots located 6.9 mi (11.2 km) from central Kissamos. Catch the sunset by the shore at Balos Lagoon, just a short walk away.
If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Stalis Beach in the heart of Stalida. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Malia Beach, Potamos Beach, and Palm Bay Beach.
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.
Very friendly and helpful staff. There is only street parking, but not hard to find, behind the hotel area. So many restaurants right there. Drove to the most famous Cretan beaches, but the local beach is also very nice. very picturesque. We could see the lighthouse from our window.

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 hotel has a high rating for a reason.
Service is excellent! We left early last day and found a bad of sandwiches, fruit and water waiting for us upon checkout. Breakfast is good and abundant. Bar staff is friendly and gives great service. Only thing I would improve is size of the gym but still it has a lot of gear.
Will be staying again.

Parking was a bit of a walk (due to the location on the harbor it was not possible to park next to the hotel), but the beauty of the room, amazing view, and friendly staff more than made up for the walk.

The hotel was conveniently located in the old town. The rooms and facilities are modern, considering it was an old building. It had a rooftop garden that had a great view of the Venetian port, especially at night.

I cannot say enough positive things about this hotel. The decor in my room was spectacular. The bed was the most comfortable I have had. The staff was friendly, charming and professional. This is my number one so far halfway into my trip. This will be in my plans for a return visit.

We stayed in the kastello Room and everything was perfect! The room was beautifully decorated with a big bathroom! The breakfast was so delicious and the staff was lovely. Would recommend and stay here again when I visit Chania again!

The best check-in experience ever. Don't hesitate, the cost of this hotel is worth every single penny. The staff is not only polite, but incredibly helpful. From the moment we stepped out of our cab plenty of staff were available, at our service, and already taking our bags before stepping foot into the property. Breakfast was the highlight of our stay. I regret not taking advantage of the spa. 10/10!

This is an excellent hotel located within walking distance of city center. We had a party of three, so we received a two room suite, which was excellent. The breakfast was great - had plenty of choices. The suite had a balcony which was a nice place to relax in the morning or evening. Staff was very helpful and courteous.
