Go for a walk by the waterfront and enjoy the view at Old Venetian Harbor. The glittering sea and gently bobbing boats make for a great photo opportunity.

You'll soon find out why this Chania Town place for ships to anchor is popular with travelers. If you're searching for more to see and do here, Chania Lighthouse, Agia Marina Beach, and Nea Chora Beach are in the area too. They won't take you long to get to from Old Venetian Harbor.

Staff accommodated my need to stay an additional night and let me stay in the same sea view room. Also, the hotel is two blocks from the beach. Very convenient for a swim.

Located centrally, this hotel is stunning. Parking can be a bit tricky if you are used to North American style car garages, but nothing we couldn’t deal with. Breakfast was incredible as well.
