This Chania hotel, Casa Delfino Suites, is an elegant 17th Century Venetian mansion in the old Venetian harbor of Chania, Crete. It has been carefully and attractively restored as an exclusive luxury hotel with twenty-one suites. A secluded entrance leads to the large sheltered courtyard of pebble mosaics, where guests can enjoy the peaceful shade. The old walled town invites the visitor to become lost amongst its theatrical bustle of shops, markets, taverns, bars, and village street life. The town is a beautiful puzzle of Minoan, Venetian, and Turkish architecture highlighted by hidden squares. There is so much to see and many excursions to choose from. Samaria Gorge, a national park that has the longest ravine in Europe, with spectacular landscapes along its eighteen kilometers. Or take a rugged walk down to Agia Roumeli that takes six or seven hours. There is also Gramvousa Castle & Balos Bay - Once the haunt of pirates, this beautiful location is accessible by charter boats that will take you there for a day trip. Moni Agias Triadas, a monastery with a 17th century multi-domed church on the Akrotiri peninsula. Moni Gouvernetou, dating back to the Venetian period, is still inhabited by monks. Moni Chrysoskalitsas, named for the 90 steps that lead up to its church; a 5km walk up from Elafonisos. There is the Blue Diving Center, a professional diving school / diving shop that has classes and day trips to the best diving locations. Casa Delfino Suites is seventeen kilometers from the Chania International Airport; a fifteen minute taxi ride. Souda Bay is the nearest port, at a distance of seven kilometers. Transfer arrangements can be made with the concierge for transfers between the hotel and your point of arrival / departure. Casa Delfino Suites has a small stylish bar that leads to a sitting area, then out to the large private courtyard filled with trees, flowers, and an enormous cactus. This is where the daily breakfast buffet is served. The staff is friendly and helpful, while the atmosphere is relaxed and informal. From Casa Delfino's comfortable retreat, guests can easily explore the many side streets of Chania old town that are full to the brim with fine shops and restaurants.
