Welcome to Alcanea, a unique 4-star Boutique Hotel in the Old Town of Chania on the beautiful island of Crete in the southern Aegean! The Hotel is magnificently positioned on the waterfront of the Old Port, right next to the Nautical Museum by the entrance to the Venetian Fortress of Firkas. The building that now forms Alcanea dates from the Venetian period and was the office of the Greek revolutionary and statesman, Eleftherios Venizelos, for 24 years. It was fully restored during the spring of 2011 with great sensitivity to the preservation and conservation of the building’s architectural heritage.

The enchanting complex of terraces and patios, the well-preserved hand-carved stone facades, the colourful ceramics, the elaborate woodwork and decorative elements all maintain a perfect balance between tradition and modern comforts. Designed for travellers seeking the authentic spirit of an ancient town in a peaceful and tranquil setting, this intimate and exclusive waterfront hotel features eight carefully designed rooms accessible via the staircase, ranging from beautifully appointed doubles to a spacious family room for four, as well as a private suite just a few steps away.

It offers spectacular views of the Egyptian Lighthouse, the Venetian Port, the Old Town of Chania and the Venetian Fortress. The closest beach, Nea Chora, is a ten-minute walk from the hotel. The hotel is 17-km from Chania airport and 7-km from the port of Souda.
