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.

Hotel staff was great! Always willing to help and guide us on what to do, where to go and also brought a lot of experience on what would make our experience better. They go out of their way to accommodate and help. Breakfast was delicious and one of the best I’ve had and it by itself was a great experience. Room and hotel made the whole stay in chania perfect, as it feels you are staying in part of history with all the amenities and it is a well kept property.
