Hotels in Chania, Greece

Chania is a coastal city on Crete's northwest coast, famous for its 14th-century Venetian harbor and narrow Old Town streets. The Mediterranean climate brings hot, dry summers around 86 F (30 C) perfect for swimming at Elafonisi's pink-sand beach or hiking the 16-km Samaria Gorge, while mild winters around 59 F (15 C) are ideal for exploring the Old Town's Venetian and Ottoman buildings and the indoor market. The region also has quieter villages like Platanias for a local vibe, and you can join a boat tour to Balos lagoon during the summer months.
