Beachfront hotel on Blue Flag beach in Stavros, Chania
Amenities
Free WiFi and free car parking are available to all guests, with accessible parking and street parking options. The hotel offers a private beach area with free sun loungers and umbrellas reserved exclusively for guests. A garden with outdoor furniture, a sun terrace, and a covered picnic table with loungers provide additional outdoor space.
Rooms
Spacious studio apartments each include a kitchenette and classic furnishings for self-catering. Every unit opens onto a balcony with views of the garden, the sea, or the surrounding mountains. Room types such as Superior Studio with Sea View and Executive Apartment offer different layouts and floor levels.
Location
The hotel sits directly on the Blue Flag beach of Stavros of Akrotiri in Chania, set within a colourful Cretan garden. An organized beach with restaurants and a supermarket is located 50 metres from the property. Buses connect Stavros to Chania every 2 hours, and the airport is a 10- to 20-minute taxi or drive away.
Beach
A small private bay in front of the hotel provides direct access for swimming, with free inflatable mattresses available for guests. The main Stavros beach, offering sandy entry to the sea, is a 5-minute walk away. Free sun loungers and umbrellas at the hotel's private beach area eliminate the typical 30-euro charge at nearby serviced beaches.

The colourful Cretan garden includes a sun terrace and a covered picnic table with loungers for relaxation. Each studio's balcony provides a clothes rack and outdoor furniture for enjoying the views. The garden area also serves as a quiet corner of the beach, within walking distance of shops and tavernas like Zorba.
