Hotels near Chania International Airport - CHQ, Chania

Didn’t stay long enough to review the local area. The hotel is close to a disused velodrome. The building of it was never finished. I guess money ran out but they are hopeful it will be completed one day.

The house was closest to Loutraki beach where we spend a lot of time snorkling and playing In the crystal clear water. The beach was clean and there was a small cafe open with sunchairs to rent. The nearby tavern and restaurant was unfortunately closed for the season. But Bella Pizza is to be recommented, they deliver to the gate without cost and the food is great. The host is very helpfull with information om restaurants if you wish to eat out.

I went a vacition in Greece to relax. The villa is impressive and overlooks the sea. It was quiet and I could rest. I had a good time . The service was excellent and I strongly recommend visiting the villa.

Marathi Villas lies half an hour's drive away from Chania. It's a quiet and relaxed place with a beautiful view and crystal clear water that is perfect for swimming. At night, you can see the big ships come into Souda bay. During the day, our terrace was too hot, but there are places in the shade that can be used by all guests. We liked the Psamathi restaurant, and there are a few other tavernas with good food along the beach. Due to the hilly drive, it takes a while to get to Chania, let alone Rethymno, and people who really want to explore the island, choosing a more central accomodation might be helpful. This is the place to visit if you want to slow down, soak up the laid-back atmosphere and enjoy the beautiful mountain view. Even though menus are in English, the bay seems to be visited predominantly by Greeks, which makes the place feel authentic. It also means that some contact persons will have little or no English and that things like a continental breakfast are not easily available.

We loved our stay at Chorafakia, especially the variety of beaches and the opportunities to eat well prepared local food. The scenery is breath taking. One of our favourite visits was of a Botanical gardens and swimming in Octopus bay.

Lovely beach areas, one of which is strictly reserved for military personnel. In July and August they get really busy and very popular with locals, unless you are there early you will struggle to find shade and loungers. €6-£12 for 3 loungers and a parasol. Avoid Stavros Beach €25 for the same!!!😨 There is a fab taverna on the far beach Rokos, you can have fresh grilled fish, very popular with the locals and very reasonable. If staying in Marathi you really could do with hiring a car to get out and about and for a wider choice of eating places.
