About the Hotel
Notus Chania Crete is a sustainably minded hotel in the heart of Chania town, a few minutes' walk from the city's beaches and the amenities of the centre. The property uses renewable energy and LED lighting, offers locally-organised tours and activities, and embraces local culture through its programme — a thoughtful base for travellers who want to engage with Crete beyond the pool.
Chania's UNESCO-listed Old Town is on the doorstep: the Venetian Harbour with its iconic Egyptian Lighthouse, the atmospheric lanes of Topanas, Splantzia, and the Jewish Quarter, and the Janissaries Mosque on the waterfront are all walkable. The hotel is also a practical launchpad for the wider region — day trips reach the Balos lagoon, the pink-sand beach at Elafonissi, Falassarna, the Samaria Gorge trailhead, and the Akrotiri peninsula with its ancient monasteries of Agia Triada and Gouverneto.
