Historic Harbor Accommodations

Hotel Amphora occupies a 14th-century Venetian stone building with 20 double and triple rooms featuring private bathrooms, air conditioning, and heating. Room 7 includes a four-poster bed and en-suite bathroom accessed via spiral staircase. Superior rooms on the third floor offer private balconies with Venetian port views. All rooms include free Wi-Fi, refrigerators, and wooden floors.

Cretan Dining Experience

The hotel's basement restaurant overlooks the old harbor waters and serves authentic Cretan specialties using local ingredients. Breakfast includes homemade preserves and freshly pressed orange juice, served on the terrace with views of the Venetian lighthouse. Room service breakfast is available from 7:30-10:30 without extra charge.

Central Harbor Location

Located in the heart of Chania's Venetian Harbour, the hotel faces the historic lighthouse. The front door opens directly into narrow alleys with restaurants, markets, and artisan shops. The property is a 1-minute drive from Old Venetian Harbor and 12 minutes from Agia Marina Beach. A hammam spa facility operates nearby on the harbor.

24-Hour Guest Services

Reception operates 24 hours and provides local dining and sightseeing recommendations. Services include daily room cleaning, taxi arrangements, car rentals, excursions, and laundry. The staff follows comprehensive health protocols including high-temperature linen washing at 80°C and room disinfection between guests.

Unique Room Configurations

Room 11 features two single beds with an additional single bed on a gallery platform, plus a private balcony with port views. Suites 19 and 20 on the third floor include bathtubs and accommodate extra beds. Room 6 faces the port directly with balcony access but may experience weekend noise from harbor nightlife.

“Staying here means immersing yourself in a 14th-century building, beautifully restored with Venetian and Ottoman influences; expect stunning harbor views right from your room and personalized service that makes exploring Chania effortless. Breakfast is a real highlight, featuring homemade preserves and fresh juices served on the terrace; plus, the location puts you steps away from vibrant nightlife. A truly special hotel.”
