a month agoRita in the Tourist Information Office was very helpful to us during our recent stay in Crete, based in Chania. She advised on the various Archaeological Museums in the area at Chania and at Rethynmno and Kissamos and also on a visit to the White Mountains and the Imbros Gorge. To get to some of these places we hired a car for 3 days through the hotel as advised by Rita and all went very smoothly. All in all we had a lovely 10 day holiday in Western Crete having visited the East of the Island almost 10 years ago. Hopefully we'll be able to visit again in the future as it is a lovely island with a fascinating history and the Cretans are a very friendly people. Andrew and Cora Gardner

a month agoNo matter how many people are present at this discreet information desk, when you are lucky enough to be received by Angeliki, everyone feels like they are the center of her attention and, above all, of a charming concern that takes pleasure in helping you find the beach that suits you best, the authentic restaurant you dreamed of or the optimal itinerary for the visits you want to see! Cretan hospitality is not a myth and it is this generous welcome that will make you love your stay in Chania as soon as you set foot there!! Thanks again for everything!

a month agoVery good information, but: Opening hours Mon-Fri 8am-2:30pm (as of Sept. 2025) Closed Saturdays and Sundays. Unacceptable for a place like Chania.
