CHANIA SIGNATURE STAYS
Luxury stays in the centre of Chania, a few steps from the sea, the Venetian Harbour and the Old Town.
Welcome
Chania on foot, from your front door
All our homes are in the centre of town: one right on the Venetian Harbour, two on Koum Kapi beach, where you can swim just next to the city centre, and two next to the Municipal Garden, a short stroll from the old Municipal Market of Chania. The harbour, the lanes of the Old Town and the sea are all within walking distance.
The homes are looked after by Ada and her team, who bring eight years of experience in luxury hospitality. Take a look at each home, send us a message with any question you may have, and you will hear back from us right away, so you can find the place that suits you best.

Stress-free parking at every home
Parking in the centre of Chania can be tricky. That is why every home has its own private parking space: at Blue Balcony it is right in front of the villa's entrance, and for the others it is 800 to 1,200 metres away.
Breakfast at your stay
At all our properties, we have established partnerships with carefully selected, excellent local restaurants and cafés offering high-quality breakfast options. Each property has its own specially arranged breakfast packages, allowing you to enjoy a delightful culinary experience during your stay. If you would like to include breakfast during your stay, please feel free to contact us for more information about the available options and applicable additional charges.
Why Chania
Harbour, Old Town and beaches, all close by
Chania is one of the few towns where you can swim in the morning, get lost in the lanes of a Venetian town in the afternoon and have dinner by the water in the evening, all without a car. The lighthouse, the Old Town neighbourhoods, the old Municipal Market and the town beaches are all within walking distance.
And when you want to go further, western Crete is all around you: Balos, Elafonisi, Falassarna, the Samaria Gorge and the Akrotiri peninsula, each an easy day trip.

Things to do
Ideas for your stay
A few ideas for the town and the area around it. You will find more on our Chania page.
-
Venetian Harbour and Lighthouse
On foot
The heart of the town. Walk along the breakwater to the Egyptian Lighthouse, ideally early in the morning or at sunset. On the way you will pass the Küçük Hasan Mosque on the waterfront and the Neoria, the old Venetian shipyards.
-
Old Town and Splantzia
On foot
Narrow lanes with Venetian mansions, small workshops and courtyards full of flowers. Splantzia, its quietest neighbourhood, has the square with the landmark plane tree and Agios Nikolaos, a church with both a bell tower and a minaret.
-
Firkas and the Maritime Museum
On foot
The Venetian fortress at the western end of the harbour, where the Greek flag was raised in 1913 to mark the union of Crete with Greece. It is home to the Maritime Museum of Crete.
-
Town beaches: Koum Kapi and Nea Chora
On foot
Koum Kapi, just east of the town walls, is a small sandy beach with cafés right on the water, for a swim without a car. Nea Chora beach, west of the harbour, has a long stretch of sand and fish tavernas along the road.
-
Balos and Gramvousa
Full day
The lagoon with turquoise water at the north-western tip of Crete. Go by boat from Kissamos port, which also stops at the islet of Gramvousa with its Venetian castle, or by car along a dirt road followed by a walk down.
-
Elafonisi
Full day
Shallow water and pink-tinted sand at the south-western tip of the island. The drive passes through mountain villages and is worth it for the scenery alone. It is a protected area, so please treat it with care.

Everything was perfect! The amenities, the house, the cleanliness, the location. Thank you so much. It will be top of my list for the next time I'm in Chania! And the most special thing, which I haven't come across anywhere else, was the board games. And of course the sound of the waves in the bedroom. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!
Excellent location close to the centre of Chania. The apartment was very clean and recently renovated. The hosts responded very quickly. …

Perfect location to stay in the middle of everything Chania has to offer.
Perfect place to stay in one of the top locations of Crete. A hidden gem in the heart of Chania. You are staying in the middle of unlimited restaurants, shops, and everything you can possibly need. Included parking is appreciated. If I ever come back to Chania, I'll be looking to stay here again.
A beautiful apartment with everything you could need. It is spotless, and the beds and pillows were the best I have experienced in Greece. The apartment is well located, and the Old Town, tavernas and banks are all easy to reach. Lambros was extremely helpful in answering our questions. I cannot find a single fault with the apartment and would recommend it without hesitation.
