Nice contemporary design with feature lighting in rooms. Large Balconies, some with sea views to the Venetian Harbour. Short walk to sandy beach. On bus route from airport - get off at the Cinema. Friendly staff without exception. Excellent breakfast in nice double height space with some outdoor seating too. Rooms well maintained and very clean.

We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay at the property, particularly the exceptional team. They were welcoming, friendly, and dedicated to providing the best possible service. The views were enchanting, and the pool was a delightful addition. The breakfast was also remarkable. We highly recommend this property for a romantic getaway in Crete. I suggest renting a car for convenient travel to the city and nearby attractions in other towns around Chania.

From check-in to check-out, our experience at the Avra Imperial Hotel was absolutely amazing. We stayed here for only three nights, but we enjoyed every moment. Our initial booking was a Deluxe room with a shared pool, but during check-in, we were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a Deluxe suite with a private pool. Our room was excellent, featuring two bathrooms, an amazing private pool, a coffee maker, a fully stocked mini bar, and a comfortable bed. One of the highlights of our stay was the buffet breakfast and lunch. The variety of meals offered was impressive, ranging from different kinds of seafood and meat to fresh fruits, salads, and a wide selection of desserts. We believe everyone will find something to suit their taste here. The hotel also boasts three different restaurants, and one night we decided to dine at the Mediterranean restaurant. The service was outstanding, and the dinner was delicious. We also enjoyed spending time in the common swimming pool area, which was not only beautiful but also well-maintained. The overall service quality at the hotel was excellent. All the employees were service-oriented, polite, and always willing to provide recommendations and cater to our interests as guests. We highly recommend this hotel to everyone, and we sincerely hope to have the opportunity to visit Avra Imperial Hotel again in the near future.

Samaria Hotel was absolutely fantastic. We travelled to Chania for our honeymoon and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay so special. The receptionists were always smiling and helpful, the valet staff were friendly and quick, the housekeepers did a great job cleaning our room. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the harbor, lots of nearby restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies, etc. We would stay here again in a heartbeat (hopefully soon!).

Our room was perfect for us. The hotel is closed to the 'Stadium' bus station and to the small Koum Kapi Beach. On Saturdays the local market is next to the hotel as well, worth to visit!

The city is great, many nice spots, lots of restaurants, bars, coffee shops and so on. The city itself is very animated, a lot of people on the streets (in a good way) and lots of young people. Getting around is easy they have a bus system with online timetables, you can get around with that, cycle(you need to be fit), but it is hilly, rent a car or moped. Municipal Market of Chania was under renovation, so closed. Also most of the museums and such because it was winter. Water temperature was around 19 Centigrade, and we went in the water every morning.

For those who want a quiet get-away and yet close shopping, Kissamos is hard to beat. Close to the port for Balos-Gramvousa excursions and secluded for a wonderful relaxed time with your loved one. Gramvousa Restaurant is a must, a short drive to a memorable dining experience. Loved snorkeling and fish sightings around rocky areas. Pictures cannot capture the panoramic breath-taking setting.

One of the USB port was not working. We had to take our own trash out. Very friendly with our dog Very good breakfast, and great restaurant We had to walk on the way to the parking (150meters) There could be some light on the path. After getting there the first night (the owner was extremely friendly and waited for us although we arrived quite late 23:30) it was very easy to find our way. The surroundings are magnificent You have to be quite alert on the road because the locals drive like crazy.

Good beach with beds and shades. Lovely clear water, great place to swim. Nice tavernas. Great backdrop of the white mountains and the castle when you are in the water. Not too many people in October but can imagine it would be crowded in high season. Surrounding area is dry rocky and barren. Come for the beach and Imbros gorge but not for a scenic walk.

From Souda, the bus is ~10 minutes to Chania for 1.60€ only. No need for rental car nor searching for parking -- just take bus. Use rental car for pleasure scenic routes into mountains especially Milo's Restaurant. But only during sunlight, not at night!! The trip there is well worthwhile for the food & service, the trip itself is adventurous, scenic & breathtaking because of height.

The beach is amazing, one of the most beautiful we've ever visited. Water is turquoise and sand is truly pink at the water's edge. Loved long walks, shore swims and the sand was amazing. Next to the beach is a conservation area that is really lovely and I enjoyed the walk! Walk across the relatively shallow water to the island to the right of the main beach. Get there early especially on weekends else all the lounge chairs will be taken! Do NOT park at the first parking lot as you enter town, the rates are MUCH higher than the $5 lot that comes next!

If you are in Chania, please eat at Canale!

If you are in Chania, please eat at Canale! This restaurant is absolutely divine! We also had a snack at the sailing club, which is a 500 year old shipyard. The old town is lovely and really worth a walk around! There are many Minoan ruins in town as well. Please go to the archeological museum; its so well done! Aptera is 25 minutes away and so worth the visit! We also went to a lagoon and saw some friendly wild goats! Totally worth a climb, but bring good hiking shoes and be aware of the hairpins in the road and how steep the drive up and down are!
