THE
LOCATION

Located at the historical and beautiful old Venetian harbor of Chania, our boutique 5 Star hotel is a place that brings calm and happiness to the demanding traveler. Built, by Venetians, in the 14th century to conduct their maritime trade and combat piracy. During Ottoman rule, the Venetian Port was left to chance until the 19th century when the Egyptians occupied the area and reconstructed the harbour and its lighthouse.
