Learn more about Chania

Venetian splendour meets Mediterranean charm in a harbour where fishing boats bob against a backdrop of Ottoman minarets and Venetian lighthouses. The Old Town's labyrinthine alleys reveal surprises at every turn – a Byzantine wall fragment here, a hidden courtyard restaurant there. Maritime history comes alive at the Naval Museum, housed in a centuries-old fortress. Agia Marina Beach offers perfect swimming conditions just outside the city, while Nea Chora Beach provides a more local experience with tavernas serving the morning's catch. The Municipal Art Gallery showcases Cretan artists in a restored Venetian building. For the best harbour views, arrive at sunset when the lighthouse casts a golden glow across ancient waters.

Kydon, The Heart City Hotel

Kydon, The Heart City Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice hotel! This hotel is very well maintained and staffs are amazing! I highly recommend. This hotel is in a good location very close the old Chania. So we walked to the old Chania from the hotel. We had a rental car and they had a parking lot for hotel guests with extra charge so it was super convenient for us. We also had breakfast buffet every morning. Oh My goodness. It was one of my favorite breakfast buffets! They use fresh and high quality ingredients from Crete local farms. And it was very tasty. We enjoyed it lots! "

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Chania

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly period to visit Chania is during January, February, and November, when hotel prices are generally lower. To fully appreciate the city's rich history and culture, it’s advisable to stay for at least 5 to 6 days. This duration allows ample time to explore significant landmarks such as museums, historical monuments, and the charming marina. Visitors can also enjoy relaxing moments by the beach or at local cafes, making for a great value-for-money experience while delving into Chania's archaeological wonders and vibrant port life.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To explore accommodation deals in Chania, consider browsing the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates for hotels as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay informed about flash sales and special last-minute offers, ensuring you don’t miss potential savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities efficiently. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you'll be among the first to know, making it easier to secure a cheap hotel deal in Chania.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates might enable you to save on your stay at a hotel in Chania. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we may suggest more affordable dates to increase your chances of securing the best deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre generally tend to be pricier, but thanks to Chania's excellent public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well-linked.
