"It's literally a step onto the beach you get discounted sunbeds as staying at the hotel."
"The hotel has a lift which is extremely useful when moving bags around."
"The Hotel is right on the Nea Chora beach strip with a fantastic view and a decent restaurant on the front of the hotel where you can have a well priced breakfast, lunch or dinner."
Rooms & Amenities
Danaos Hotel offers rooms with city or sea views, each equipped with free Wi-Fi, a refrigerator, and a private bathroom with shower. Options include double, twin, triple, and quadruple rooms, some with balconies. The quadruple room fits up to 4 people with 1 double bed and 2 single beds. Air conditioning and housekeeping (6 days a week) are standard. Upon request, guests can get baby cots, beach towels, or an iron.
Beach & Location
The hotel sits on Nea Chora's seafront, a 15-minute walk from Chania's Venetian harbor. The sandy beach in front has rocks and reefs ideal for snorkeling. A lifeguard tower stands on the beach, where umbrellas and sunbeds are available for rent. Nea Chora's open-air market operates every Thursday, selling seasonal produce, clothing, and household items. The city bus stops nearby, connecting to Chania's central bus station and historical Market Hall.
Local Events
Nea Chora hosts a sardine festival in late August, drawing crowds. During Easter, locals dye eggs red and roast lamb on spits. On Epiphany, priests throw a cross into the harbor, and divers compete to retrieve it. Clean Monday marks the start of Lent with kite flying and seafood feasts. The Samaria Gorge, Crete's most visited hike, is accessible from Chania.
Dining & Nearby
Restaurants along the promenade serve seafood and traditional Cretan dishes. The hotel does not have an onsite restaurant, but breakfast is available in a dedicated room. Nearby, the Venetian Lighthouse and Firkas Fortress are key landmarks. The Archaeological Museum of Chania, 2 km away, displays artifacts from the Geometric to Roman periods.
Services & Extras
The hotel provides airport transfers and free Wi-Fi. A small library is available in the reception area. Guests can request electric kettles, luggage scales, or wake-up calls. The beachfront location makes it easy to rent snorkeling gear or join boat trips from Limanaki harbor. The airport is 16 km away, and Souda Port is 20 km.
“From what I gather, it's the kind of place where the Mediterranean is your constant companion, with many rooms framing sea views, and the beach just a stroll across the road. Though some might see its decor as a little old-fashioned, the consistently kind service and the sound of the waves create an atmosphere that wins people over, close to the restaurants and life of Chania.”
