Villa Vanelia Mare

On Crete’s northwest coast in Agioi Apostoloi, Chania — a family-friendly villa by the sea. A 1-minute drive from Kalamaki Beach and close to Agii Apostoli (Sunset) Beach, Iguana Beach and Agia Marina. Chania Central Market and Port of Souda are a short drive away.

This Art Deco villa pairs classic lines with modern comforts. Rooms are air-conditioned and often feature fireplaces, private furnished balconies or patios, and full kitchens with full-sized refrigerators, ovens and stovetops. Suites include flat-screen TVs, DVD/satellite options and private bathrooms with separate showers and deep soaking tubs; some units even have private pools.

Choose between an outdoor pool or a private plunge and unwind at the on-site spa with massages and facials. Rent bicycles to explore nearby beaches, relax in the terrace and garden, or fire up the barbecue in the picnic area — and enjoy free Wi‑Fi throughout. Expect concierge services and room service to keep things easy.

Conference hall and meeting/presentation facilities make this a solid pick for work trips or small events. On-site perks include dry cleaning and laundry, a 24-hour front desk with multilingual staff, roundtrip airport shuttle for a surcharge, and free self parking.

There’s an on-site restaurant and room service for relaxed meals. For casual gatherings, use the villa’s picnic and barbecue area or sip morning coffee with city or sea views.
