Guests arrive at Kalyves Beach Hotel to find themselves steps from the Cretan Sea, where the ceremony unfolds against genuine Mediterranean horizons.
The hotel's beachfront location means your party wakes to salt air and sunrise views, while the evening reception transitions seamlessly from sand to dining terraces overlooking the water.
Staff manage logistics while you focus on the 40+ guests who'll remember the exact moment the sun touched the waves during your vows.
We loved everything. The food was excellent — delicious, fresh, and offering a wide variety of choices. The Greek salad and Greek yogurt were exceptional. The bus station to Chania is just a few steps away, which is very convenient. The hotel has two sandy beaches, both absolutely amazing. The personnel were wonderful — everyone was kind and helpful. There are two outdoor pools and one indoor (heated) pool, plus an elevator in the building. The pool bar is a great touch — you can take your drinks to the beach. Beach towels and sunbeds with umbrellas are provided. You can truly feel a sense of calm and relaxation there. The only negative for us was that many people were smoking on the beach, and there were cigarette butts in the sand. This is not the hotel’s fault, but it would be nice if attention were drawn to this or if it were better communicated.
