About Samaria Hotel
Located on Crete's northern coast, Samaria Hotel operates as a full-service venue where you'll handle logistics in one place, accommodations, dining, and ceremony space all under one roof.
The 4.7-star rated property sits in central Chania, keeping guests within walking distance of the old harbor and local restaurants rather than isolated on a remote hillside.
This proximity means wedding parties can easily split time between venue events and exploring the city.
