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.

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.

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.

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.

The host was incredible and very friendly. In addition to making us feel right at home, she was full of wonderful suggestions about how to explore Chania and the western side of Crete. The hotel is an old Venetian home that has been turned into 5 suites. The rooms were spacious while preserving the Venetian charm of the building. Right outside of the common area, a set of French double doors opens up onto the harbor and the hustle and bustle of the port below. It was an absolutely wonderful...

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!

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.

This place was amazing! Definitely the nicest lodging I have ever stayed in. We stayed in the Gaia suite which had an infinity pool that overlooked the ocean directly off of the cliff. The staff was incredibly nice and helped with anything we needed. The only downside I can even think of is that the food and drinks were expensive, but it makes sense for a place as nice as Acro. However, On our way out, they gave us a free lunch box with a sandwich and fruit - so thoughtful!

Nautilux was great ! We stayed here for our honeymoon. The hotel location is perfect in reythmno. A nice stroll along the beach adjacent to all the stores , dining , bars etc. The Nautilus suite was spacious clean and direct view to the sea. Buffet was decent. Wouldn’t call it a 5 star buffet though. Drinks were 5 star however. Direct access to beach. Beach is sandy but becomes rocky once you’re in the water. Staff were great and friendly. Entertainment was a 3 out of 5 and not daily. Rooms...

Very nice city hotel , clean, quiet and comfort. Close to the city center , around 6-8 minutes walking and only 2 minutes from Koum - Kapi.
Friendly stuff, especially Katerina at the reception. I highly recommend Hyperion City Hotel.

The hotel location was near Chania town and they provide a shuttle that can take you to town, and also pick you up from the town. Hotel room was nice, it's a little bit on the small side. Also, you will have a great view from the balcony. overall, i'm pretty happy with it.
