Solimar Turquoise

Solimar Turquoise is a beachfront mid-range hotel in the Solimar group, located on the Kissamou-Chanion Road in Agia Marina, on the northwest coast of Crete in Greece. Agia Marina sits roughly 8-10 km west of Chania and forms a continuous resort strip with Platanias, with a long sandy beach, tavernas, bars, supermarkets and water-sports operators along the shore. Offshore lies the small island of Agioi Theodoroi, home to the protected kri-kri wild goat, and the island of Thodorou is visible from the beach. The hotel's setting suits beach holidays, with regular local buses running along the coast road to Chania's Old Town, about 20-30 minutes away depending on traffic. Chania International Airport is roughly 25 km away. Listed amenities include a swimming pool, beach access, a restaurant, a bar, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Room types include double rooms, family rooms and suites, which suits couples and families. Dining on site is typically a mix of breakfast buffet and restaurant service, though meal plans and menus should be confirmed with the property. High-season doubles typically cost EUR 85-170 per night (about $98-195 USD), with the figures indicative rather than live. The surrounding strip offers many restaurants serving Cretan and international dishes, and the nightlife of Platanias is a short walk or ride away. Service in a mid-range seaside resort is usually relaxed and family-friendly, with staff able to arrange excursions to Balos, Elafonisi, Samaria Gorge and Chania Old Town, as well as car hire. The location suits travellers who want sea, sand and amenities close at hand while keeping Chania accessible for day or evening trips.
