This is the place to stay in Chania! We traveled to Greece in late April for Easter and stayed 3 nights at the hotel Porto Veneziano. It's the perfect spot! It's nestled into the back of the inlet with a fantastic view of the lighthouse. Right on the water! Most of the foot traffic is from those going the lighthouse. Otherwise, especially at night, the walkway is quiet. Despite being set back from the harbor, from the Veneziano it's an easy stroll to the many shops, restaurants, and tavernas Chania has to offer. Also, the hotel is a great launching point to various day trips. We went to the Elafonisi beach (they loan you beach towels).
Port Veneziano itself is just what you would expect from a classy waterfront hotel. The hotel lobby is comfortably clean as are the rooms. If the weather is right they can open the doors to the many outside tables with umbrellas. All this with service, morning til night. On the bar side there is a delightful terrace with tables to enjoy your morning coffee. They have a great dining room. Breakfast is substantial and stays open til 10:30. The restaurant in the evening serves delicious dishes that deserve mentioning. The parking is free and I was never without a space. It's also in the back and side of the hotel with a gate and security cameras monitored by the front desk. The rooms have balconies and I would look for one facing the water.
The staff is one of the things that set them apart. Check in was easy with compliments going out to Vasili
