Terpsis Estate

Chania Town

Set less than 1 km from Koum Kapi Beach and 2.8 km from Nea Chora Beach, Terpsis Estate in Chania Town offers air-conditioned accommodation with views of the garden and free WiFi. There is a private entrance at the apartment for the convenience of those who stay. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The building is situated in a quiet residential neighbourhood, which is a nice break from the bustle of the city and Old Town. The apartment itself is extremely clean and tidy (it is cleaned every day except Sun), and includes all the facilities/amenities you need for a week-long stay. There is also AC, a lifesaver in the hot summer heat! The garden/courtyard is lovely, and it was nice to look out to a lemon tree from our front balcony. There was always a parking spot for us by the building, which was a huge relief off our backs, as you’ll see parallel parking is no joke in Chania. Our host, Nikos, has also been nothing but incredibly kind, accommodating, and welcoming from the get-go, from providing us tips and recommendations on our first day, to greeting us each morning/afternoon and asking about our day. He really goes above and beyond to ensure that you feel at home and are having a comfortable time. I really hope to be at Terpsis Estate again when we eventually come back!

We were upgraded in Suite 1. It was very private. Georgia and the rest of the employees were very professional and proactive in making our stay memorable. The restaurant offers good quality food and a beautiful view on the mountains.

Aoria Estate Old Port

The property features city and inner courtyard views, and is 1.3 km from Koum Kapi Beach. The property is 300 metres from the city centre and less than 1 km from Nea Chora Beach. Great location and lovely large room. You cannot access this hotel by car so will have to pull your luggage through the small lanes. We got free street parking close so this was not an issue. The hotel room was quiet and comfortable. There was no reception in this small hotel but we are quite independent travellers so this suited us.

Scalarea Estate Residences

Skalánion

Offering a garden, Scalarea Estate Residences offers accommodation in Skalánion. Heraklio Town is 9 km from the property.

The accommodation features a satellite flat-screen TV. Some units are air conditioned and include a seating and/or dining area. There is a private bathroom with a shower in every unit. Towels and bed linen are featured. The place was immaculate. Clean and stunningly beautiful. There are only 3 cottages but I think that night, my husband and I were the only guests. We loved the peaceful setting and appreciated all the details that the owner put into it. Breakfast was delicious! This was our favorite place in Crete. We would highly recommend a stop there on your way to nearby Knossos palace or Heraklion.
