Avra Apartments Kolymbari Harbour

Harbor-side in Kolymbari, Chania on Crete’s northwest coast — a family-friendly base near the water. You’re about 1.2 miles from the Orthodox Academy of Crete, 4.7 miles from Afrata Beach, roughly 12.8 miles from Manousakis Winery and 15.5 miles from the Old Venetian Harbor.

A small collection of individually decorated guestrooms and villas with kitchenettes or full kitchens, memory-foam beds dressed in Egyptian cotton, single sofa beds and 37-inch LED satellite TVs. Rooms include desks and laptop-compatible safes, AC, hairdryers, bathrobes and slippers. There’s no reception on-site — the reception desk is at Avra Imperial Hotel about 600 m away and has limited opening hours, so guests are asked to provide flight number and estimated arrival time when booking.

Pamper options include access to spa treatments, a steam room and a hair salon, plus a fitness center and outdoor tennis courts. Pools and Apivita Spa facilities are available via the nearby Avra Imperial Hotel, and guests enjoy seasonal complimentary access to those shared facilities. Practical perks include complimentary wireless internet, laundry services (charges may apply), concierge services, luggage storage and free self parking — wake up to harbor-side mornings.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout, in-room desks and laptop-compatible safes make short work trips easy.

Complimentary breakfast is offered at the nearby Avra Imperial Hotel; other on-site dining options are handled at the Avra Imperial complex.
