Modest hotel on the coast road in Kato Stalos, a short walk to the beach.
Relax Hotel is a modest budget hotel on the Kissamou-Chanion Road in Kato Stalos, on the northwest coast of Crete in Greece. Kato Stalos is a small coastal village roughly 7-8 km west of Chania, lying between Chania and the Agia Marina and Platanias resort strip, and it is a short walk to the beach. The village is quieter and more local in character than the large resort towns, with a handful of tavernas, cafes and shops along the coast road. The shoreline here has sand and pebble stretches, and nearby is the area around Agia Marina with water-sports operators and a wider choice of restaurants. Regular local buses run along the coast road to Chania, about 15-25 minutes away, where the Old Town harbour, Venetian lighthouse and Municipal Market are the main attractions. Chania International Airport is roughly 20 km away by road. The hotel is in the budget category and lists double rooms and suites, with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and breakfast available. High-season doubles typically cost EUR 45-95 per night (about $52-109 USD), with the figures indicative and not live. No pool, spa or restaurant beyond breakfast is listed, so guests usually eat at the village tavernas or travel to Agia Marina and Platanias. Service in a small budget hotel is generally simple and personal, and staff can typically help with bus information and local recommendations. A rental car adds flexibility for reaching Balos, Elafonisi and Samaria Gorge, though organised tours and buses also serve these destinations from Chania. The property suits budget travellers, couples and independent visitors who want a quiet base near the sea at low cost and are willing to travel for nightlife, sightseeing and larger beaches.
