Air conditioning and safes are available for an additional fee. Bathrooms have rainfall showers and hair dryers.

The hotel serves a daily breakfast buffet with fruits and vegetables from its own garden in the restaurant, which has a veranda overlooking the sea. Guests can also grab a bite at the poolside bar, which offers drinks and light snacks. Local taverns nearby serve traditional Cretan cuisine and a variety of regional wines.
Outdoor Pool & Gardens
Areti Aparthotel has a large freshwater swimming pool with a bar, surrounded by gardens filled with olive trees, vineyards, and Cretan herbs. The rooftop terrace and garden provide additional relaxation spaces with views of the White Mountains and Souda Bay.
Historic Village Location
The aparthotel is in Megala Chorafia, a traditional village 14 km east of Chania. It is a 10-minute drive from Kalami Beach and Blue Coast, and 2 km from the ancient town of Aptera. Chania Airport is 27 km away, and Souda Port is 7 km away.
Services & Nearby Attractions
The hotel offers free Wi-Fi, private parking, and luggage storage. Nearby landmarks include the Venetian castle (4 km), Ancient Theatre Aptera (2.5 km), and Nature Play at The Olive Ranch (4 km). The area is known for ecotours and hiking trails.
“Areti Aparthotel appeals most to those seeking a traditional Cretan experience, enhanced by its tranquil setting in the hills near Chania. The family-run property emphasizes local culture, from its decor to meals sourced directly from the garden; add to this a large pool, and it's easy to relax. I think the location makes it a solid base for exploring the island, especially with a car for ventures to nearby beaches and historic sites.”
