Creta Palm Hotel 4 stars

This hotel is a few steps away from Kato Stalos sandy beach and just over 7km from the main city of Chania, on Crete’s north-west coast. This family friendly hotel is ideal for those wanting a quiet, relaxing holiday in the Mediterranean sunshine. The bus stop for Chania is 30 metres from the hotel with a frequent bus service.

Chania is a pretty harbour town that has plenty of charm and a traditional Greek feel about it. Walk around the narrow streets and see the many shops displaying local products including pottery, lace, jewellery and leatherware. The harbour-front tavernas are worth stopping at for some traditional food, and a look around some of the churches and museums is a must if you are interested in local history. Excursions and trips can be booked from the hotel around the rest of the island.
