3-star waterfront hotel on Chania's Old Venetian Harbour
Accommodations
Porto Veneziano Hotel offers 51 rooms and 6 suites, each with private balconies overlooking the harbour, the Old Town, or the White Mountains. The rooms are fitted with geothermal air conditioning, a system that reduces energy use while keeping indoor temperatures comfortable. A nightlight in the bathroom is a safety feature that helps guests navigate during the night without turning on bright lights.
Dining
The certified Greek breakfast includes freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade delicacies, and made-to-order eggs prepared by the kitchen. The on-site restaurant serves dinner with locally sourced ingredients, including saganaki and spinach risotto praised by guests. A café bar with live piano music on Saturday evenings offers refreshments and a terrace overlooking the harbour.

Guests can walk to the Folklore Museum of Chania, the Municipal Art Gallery, and Firkas Fortress within minutes.
