Food was great, staff was super friendly. It’s a newer hotel and you could tell everyone was working very hard to make a good impression. The location was wonderful too, easy access to the beach and a bunch of great restaurants are very close by. Katerina at the spa was very nice as well and made sure we had everything we needed to relax and unwind.

Everything was just perfect from the moment we got in! Amazing staff, super clean, and awesome views from the room. Breakfast and dinner are served in the room (if preferred) or you can eat in the restaurant. There’s a nice small gym and spa you can use. The location was also very good, 10 minutes drive from the Municipal Parking in the center. On top of it all, the service was exceptional. Highly recommend!

Crete Highlights

Chania Old Town and Harbor

With its famous Venetian Harbor and colorful market, the winding alleyways of Chania let you wander through architectural history.

Phaestos

Once a major center of the Minoan Civilization, Phaestos is where the famous Phaestos Disc was discovered.

Elafonnisi Beach

Endless beaches with unique pink sand, and out in the crystal-clear waters is the islet of Elafonissi.

Samaria Gorge

Extending from the village of Omalos right down to the Mediterranean, this gorge is renowned for wildlife and hiking.

Preveli Beach

A breathtaking sight, at Preveli Beach you can experience natural spa pools.

Falassarna Beach

Falassarna's half a mile of fine sand and turquoise waters are just waiting to be enjoyed.

Spinalonga Island

Once a Venetian fortress, Spinalonga Island was used as a leper colony during the first half of the 20th century.

Arkadi Monastery

The 16th-century Arkadi Monastery is a stunning piece of Renaissance architecture and symbol of resistance against the Ottomans.

Rethymno Venetian Harbor and Fortress

Walking around the narrow streets, from the Venetian Harbor to the well-preserved Fortezza Castle, definitely makes Rethymno worth a visit.

Knossos Palace

Knossos was the ancient center of the Minoan Civilization. Come and visit its colorful frescoes and maze of buildings.

FAQs about hotels in Crete

Centuries of History, Days of Sunshine

The largest Greek island, mountainous Crete has stunning beaches, plenty of history and as much or little nightlife as you want. Party town Malia has many bars, clubs and restaurants on its Strip.

Along the coast is the capital Heraklion, a bustling city home to many Crete hotels on the beach, and a Venetian castle guarding its port. Its archaeological museum includes finds from the island’s Minoan era, while just inland are the Roman remains of Knossos.

Also boasting a Venetian castle is Rethymnon, a popular resort with a good number of Crete hotels with private pools on Booking.com. Loggerhead turtles nest in season on the sandy beaches here and at Chania, an important port with an attractive waterfront set against the backdrop of mountains.

On the other side of the island is Aghios Nikolaos, a small fishing town with a picturesque harbour. Just north is Elounda, a popular family resort, and offshore is Spinaloga island, inspiration behind the book ‘The Island’. Matala in the south has a bohemian vibe and intriguing cliff dwellings, while Paleokastro in the east borders Europe’s largest palm forest at Vai.

We could go on and on about magnificent Crete beaches, but whichever resort you choose, you can be almost guaranteed fantastic food and a good helping of sunshine.

We had a great stay at Royal Sun! The location is very convenient – close enough to Chania but away from the busy streets, which made it peaceful and relaxing. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, especially the night shift receptionist, who was always welcoming and attentive. Breakfast was excellent, with a great variety of options, and the restaurant has an incredible panoramic view over Chania – truly a highlight! The room was comfortable and clean, and one of the best features was the free shuttle service to the city center, which saved us the stress of looking for parking. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Chania.

It was the most delicious all inclusive in my whole live. Stuff was super friendly, we felt like we were at home there. The beach was clean, sea was amazing and we could find sun beds at every time of the day. Our room was a bit far from the beach in second part of the hotel, but we had a wonderful sea view and it was super quiet there

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.

We were sadly only here for a quick overnight stay. But during our week in Crete - where we travelled to Chania, Heraklion, and Rethymno - Rethymno was by some margin my favourite destination. Where Chania's historic centre felt as if it had been totally given over to tourism, Rethymno felt more like a substantial town with plenty to explore.

Difficult to judge because we came early in the season when there was a cold wind blowing and not all the places were open. However, there didn't seem to be many places to eat [not a problem for us as there was one excellent place, though would be a problem peak season] . There were a number of apparently abandoned and ill-maintained buildings, which made the place appear less attractive.

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.
