Amphora Hotel Chania in Chania 731 00.

Guests arrive at this centuries-old Venetian mansion in Chania's old harbor district, where stone archways and candlelit courtyards set the tone for multi-day celebrations.

The hotel's 24 individually designed rooms become your private accommodation, allowing wedding parties to share the experience under one historic roof.

With direct views of Cretan waters and immediate access to narrow cobblestone streets lined with tavernas, attendees experience both intimacy and authentic Mediterranean life.

We recently stay at this hotel and it was a very good experience! The most remarkable thing was that the personal is very helpful and they treat you very good! Also, the breakfast included a lot of options, also good for vegetarians or vegans. Definitely we would be back!
