Okeanis Golden Resort

Okeanis Golden Resort is a resort-style hotel with a pool on Agion Apostolon Street in Agii Apostoli, a short walk from the sea, on the western edge of the city of Chania in Crete. Agii Apostoli is a coastal suburb west of the Old Town where the urban fabric thins into beachfront hotels and small tavernas, and the long sandy coastline that continues towards Agia Marina and Platanias begins to open up. The Venetian harbour and Old Town are a few kilometres east, reachable by taxi or the local bus along the coastal road, making the resort a useful compromise between a beach holiday and city sightseeing. The accommodation is listed in the mid-range category, with double rooms, family rooms and suites, and typical high-season prices of around EUR 85-170 per night. Facilities recorded include a swimming pool, beach access, a restaurant, a bar, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The pool area is the centre of the stay in summer, and the restaurant and bar provide meals and drinks on site, which saves families the need to travel for dinner, although the neighbourhood tavernas along the seafront offer more local alternatives such as grilled fish, Cretan salads and cheese pies. The family rooms and the resort-style layout suggest a family-friendly character, while couples and groups use it as a base for exploring western Crete. Service follows the usual pattern of a Greek coastal resort, with seasonal staffing and reception support for car hire and excursions. Day trips to Samaria Gorge, Balos lagoon and Elafonisi depart from Chania and are commonly booked through local operators, and the resort's western position shortens the drive towards Kissamos and the west coast compared with eastern hotels. The beach access means visitors can combine pool time and sea swimming, though conditions vary with the wind, and summer demand is strong, so booking ahead for July and August is sensible. Shoulder seasons bring warm seas, lower prices and quieter facilities.
