Mitropoleos Square is one of the main stops on any tourist visit. Find out about its historical background and importance or just kick back and watch the world pass by.

This public square is often on the itineraries of travelers to Chania Town. But Mitropoleos Square isn't the area's only drawcard. Chania Lighthouse, Agia Marina Beach, and Nea Chora Beach are some other worthwhile attractions nearby.

9/10 Wonderful! (54 reviews)

The hotel was lovely. The staff were friendly and suoer helpful. Had to change our room after the 1st as there was a strange smell but the hotel staff were super helpful in the change whilst we enjoyed the pool. The food was amazing hats off to the chef and his staff and the wait staff. The cleaning lady was super sweet and left our room spotless everyday. The Spa and gym facilites were great and the treatments were reasonably priced. All in all a great saty only spoilt on the last night when some mad drunk women spent the best part of 30 mins screaming and shouting thru the corridor at 2am. Was too tired and relaxed from my massage earlier on in the day to complain. But would highly recommend this place if your looking for somewhere to relax and unwind. Would defo come back but for longer next time maybe 10 days.
