Hotels in Chania

Why stay in Chania?

Chania delivers the Cretan holiday Israelis love: a beautiful Venetian harbor, turquoise beaches and waterfront tavernas serving Greek salad, fresh fish and dakos. Begin around the lighthouse and the Old Town lanes, shop along Skalidi Street, then settle into the harbor bars after sunset. A rental car opens up photogenic Balos, the shallow waters of Elafonissi and the dramatic Samaria Gorge. It is an excellent base for couples, families and groups combining beach time with city atmosphere and nature.
