Conveniently set in the centre of Chania Town, Theta Boutique Hotel provides à la carte breakfast and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is located less than 1 km from Mitropoleos Square, a 10-minute walk from Folklore Museum of Chania and less than 1 km from Kucuk Hasan Mosque. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available.

Popular points of interest near the accommodation include Koum Kapi Beach, Saint Anargyri Church and Chania Old Venetian Harbour. Chania International Airport is 12 km away. We loved our stay at the Theta Boutique Hotel. It was our favorite place that we stayed while in Greece. The view from the room was great, parking was free and easy nearby, Spiros was so nice and helpful and reachable, etc. The bed was very comfortable and everything was so clean. The room was nearby everything but far enough away that it felt quieter and less crazy busy. We did go on the off season, so I can't say if parking is easy during the busy season, but it was for us! If we ever go back to Chania, which I hope we do, we will try and stay at Theta Hotel again!

Situated within 1.3 km of Amoudara Beach and 2.7 km of Venetian Walls in Heraklio Town, Stay 365 Heraklion Apart Hotel provides accommodation with seating area and a kitchen. This aparthotel features free private parking, a lift and free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. The cleanliness and decor are on point! The host who checked us in was amazing and super friendly. The cafe and bar are really nice and not too pricey. The tech at the hotel is great, as they are using QR codes for ordering. The location is great in our opinion. You just walk 2 minutes and there is a bus stop that comes very frequently and takes you downtown. If you like to walk it's about 40 mins on foot. There are a ton of mini markets near by and some great bakeries. Overall, this place was awesome!

Perfectly located on the Blue Flag Award winning sandy beach of Amoudara with stunning views from around the resort, Paralos Lifestyle Beach Adults Only features 5 sharing and 2 common seasonal outdoor swimming pools. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Guests can make use of a garden. I really have to say, I'm travaling a lot (4-6 times per year to the different Countrys-Places) and in the most of the time, the hotels doesn't look or fullfil the expectations. Always its something, which gives you the feeling, that the description or pictures are not 100% right or matching with the real situation. That's why I said, now I will write a review, because they really deserved that at all! From the reception employees till to the cleaning ladies! When we arrived, we stood in the front of the new building. We get a friendly welcome, nice room and walked to the beach. I walked around and checked the pool areas and dine opportunities. I really was surprised that everything looked same like pictures and descrition. I like that is a hotel size between Boutique Hotel and grand Resort. If you are looking for a Hotel with good chill opportunities and good food, thats your place. We loved the food (try the Gyros Chicken and Mussels which are cooked in Uzo), furnishing style, pool and beach area, employees (Eleni by the Pool area, very friendly women) and the vibes of all of them😀 You are really close to Heraklion City, 10min by taxi around 15Euro per way and 20min to the airport around 30Euro per way. Spa Massage first 10min are for free, we booked 30min more (40min) was also really good. The a la Carte restaurant was a dream of location and ambience, also food with ***** level. We were there for 3 nights and I wished we can stay longer, so that means....For sure I will come back again! 🥰
