Venetian Great Arsenal should be on the itinerary of any traveling history buff. Inquire about tours or simply admire the exterior of this impressive building from out front.

You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when spending time in Chania Town. Venetian Shipyards is a great place to start here, but there are loads of other worthwhile places to explore. Chania Lighthouse, Agia Marina Beach, and Nea Chora Beach are close to the historic landmark and will top off your day nicely.

The caring and personable staff really made the stay at this hotel a pleasure. They made an effort to customise things to your taste and were very kind with surprising free drinks when just relaxing by the pool. Would always give a wave and smile whenever they saw your leaving or returning from the building know matter how far away. Good job guys and we wish you a successful season. Ollie and Katie - 1112
