Old Town Chania

Old Town Chania wraps you in a dreamy blend of Venetian and Ottoman charm at every turn. Wander through narrow cobblestone streets that lead to the stunning harbour with its iconic lighthouse. The lively Central Market buzzes with local energy while historic sites like ancient city walls tell tales of Mediterranean history. Mosque-turned-museums stand beside Orthodox churches in this cultural patchwork. The waterfront restaurants serve fresh seafood and authentic Cretan dishes with perfect harbour views. Most visitors stay in boutique hotels housed in restored Venetian buildings with character-filled stone walls and courtyards. This pedestrian-friendly district is best explored on foot, with local buses connecting to beaches and Chania's newer areas.

Nea Chora

Nea Chora beach offers the perfect mix of golden sand, shallow turquoise waters, and authentic Greek charm without the tourist crush. The promenade buzzes with locals fishing, families swimming, and friends chatting at waterfront tavernas serving fresh-caught seafood. Traditional fishing boats bob in the small harbour while the Mediterranean breeze carries the scent of grilled octopus and wild herbs. Budget-friendly apartments and family hotels line the waterfront, just a short bus ride from Chania's Old Town. Tavernas serve Cretan specialities at prices lower than the tourist centers, and the flat, walkable terrain makes exploring a breeze. When the sun sets, join locals for evening strolls along the illuminated promenade.

Waterfront tavernas dish up fresh seafood and Cretan specialities while traditional kafeneia offer morning coffee with locals. Most sights are within easy walking distance, though those cobblestones demand comfy shoes. Boutique hotels in restored Venetian mansions put you right in the heart of this enchanting seaside gem.

Venetian splendour meets Mediterranean charm in a harbour where fishing boats bob against a backdrop of Ottoman minarets and Venetian lighthouses. The Old Town's labyrinthine alleys reveal surprises at every turn – a Byzantine wall fragment here, a hidden courtyard restaurant there. Maritime history comes alive at the Naval Museum, housed in a centuries-old fortress. Agia Marina Beach offers perfect swimming conditions just outside the city, while Nea Chora Beach provides a more local experience with tavernas serving the morning's catch. The Municipal Art Gallery showcases Cretan artists in a restored Venetian building. For the best harbour views, arrive at sunset when the lighthouse casts a golden glow across ancient waters.

Hyperion City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel just 2 mins from a local beach and a very good selection of bars and restaurants. Rooms are spacious and well equipped. Our room 406, had great sea views with a generous balcony. Pool area was well presented and with plenty of shade. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely return."

Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We had a nice three day stay in July. We stayed in suite 10, which had a plunge pool and sun deck. The hotel is very small, like most wedged in Santorini. We were greeted by the GM when we arrived and the service throughout our stay was excellent. We used What's App to communicate and they were very responsive with anything we needed. They provided the choice of coming to breakfast, or choosing from the menu and having it brought it to your room. The location is very convenient and we were able to walk to almost every place we went. The had dinner one night at the hotel with the spectacular views of the property. The only downside to the property is that the rooms are a bit tight. We had the main room and bed on one floor that was small, and the shower and toilet on a small floor below. The main floor was a bit cramped when we were in the room. Overall, I would recommend the Kivotos as a beautiful property, great service, and a convenient location."

Domes Zeen Chania, a Luxury Collection Resort, Crete

10/10 Excellent

"The only criticism I have is that the light switches are not located very well by the bedside. Otherwise really spacious rooms and great staff. Beach was lovely although you should wear some water shoes as there are pebbles before you get onto the sandier bit if the seabed and they are incredibly hot!"
