Location & Nearby Attractions
Monte Vardia sits on a hill 5 km from Chania Town's Venetian Harbor and 10 km from Souda Harbor. It's a 15-minute drive to Chania Airport. Nearby landmarks include the church of Profiti Ilias (500m), the monastery of Saint John the Hermit, and the Bear Cave. The Archaeological Museum of Chania is 3.5 km away.
Services & Transport
The hotel provides ironing facilities, heating, and free toiletries. A one-way taxi to the airport costs €20-€25. The ground floor houses 'Gems,' though its purpose isn't specified. The area is dotted with stalactite-lined caves and villages showcasing Venetian-era architecture.
“Monte Vardia possesses a special tranquility, perched as it is on a hillside overlooking the sea near Chania. It's the kind of family-run place where the staff remembers your name and anticipates your needs. I think its proximity to both the airport and the town center makes it a compelling choice for those looking to explore Crete without sacrificing peace and quiet.”
