Chryssana Beach Hotel

Chryssana Beach Hotel is a three-key beachfront hotel on the Kissamou-Chanion Road in Kolymbari, on the western coast of the Chania region of Crete, Greece. Kolymbari is a fishing village at the foot of the Rodopou peninsula, about 23 kilometres west of Chania town, and the hotel lies a short walk from the village harbour and its tavernas. The Gonia monastery, founded in the 17th century and set on the coast near the village, and the Orthodox Academy of Crete are nearby. The Old Town and Venetian harbour of Chania are around 30 minutes by car, and Chania International Airport is roughly 40 minutes away, with local buses along the national road linking Kolymbari to Chania and Kissamos. The hotel is placed in the mid-range category, with indicative high-season rates of EUR 85 to 170 per night. Rooms are offered as doubles, family rooms and suites, and the listed amenities include a swimming pool, beach access, a restaurant, a bar, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. As a smaller property than the neighbouring resorts, it offers a more modest, village-scale stay while keeping the sea and a pool within easy reach. The on-site restaurant and bar serve guests, and the harbour tavernas of Kolymbari add choices such as grilled fish, calamari, stuffed vegetables and local wine, usually at moderate prices. Service is that of a family-oriented beach hotel, with staff able to suggest excursions to Balos lagoon and Gramvousa, Elafonisi, the Rodopou peninsula and the Old Town of Chania. Kolymbari is a quieter base than Platanias or Agia Marina, with fewer bars and more of a local village atmosphere, which suits families and couples who prefer calm evenings. Guests who plan to visit Chania frequently should consider hiring a car. Room types, meal plans and the opening season should be confirmed with the hotel before booking.
