Guest Reviews

• Annette (10/5): Lovely - The owner is super attentive and did everything possible to make our stay as easy and comfortable as possible. Thanks Giorgos. The apartment is lovely and modern inside and the beds super comfy. I always have an issue with pillows but I must say these were perfect. The rooftop area is absolutely stunning. The views from there especially at night are the best. There is a great restaurant Chrisostomos just across from the road. They are very busy so do book as it is worth it. The old town is within 10 or so minutes walk if you want to do shopping and there are tons of restaurants within easy walking distance. I cannot think of one thing.
• Sonja (10/5): Wonderful Stay! - We loved our stay at Porta Harenae. It's a beautiful and impeccably clean apartment in the perfect location. We liked sitting on the little patios in the unit and the view from the rooftop is wonderful. The host Giorgios is very friendly and helpful. Really appreciated the welcome basket and he is able to give lots of tips on your stay in Chania. Overall highly recommend! Having to leave
• Magdalena Gapińska (10/5): - We had a wonderful time in this apartment. The host was very helpful and protective. He was ready to help during our stay in Chania. He gave us lots of ideas to find a place to eat, to visit. The apartment was super nice and comfortable, very clean and cosy. Beautiful rooftop with amazing view on the sea. The area was very nice, 3 min to the port, bars, restaurant and to the Old Town streets. I sincerely recommend this place. Magdalena.
• Kim (10/5): Don't hesitate to stay its a true gem in Chania. - We were met at the property by Giorgos who was so helpful in trying to find us a parking place. He showed us around his property including the roof terrace. He was very proud of it and so he should be. The apartments are newly renovated. He and his wife have an excellent eye for design. The accommodation was spotless with a very generous welcome pack. Every little detail was designed to make you comfortable. Towels and Linen were of a very high quality. Restaurant recommendations were appreciated. George was there to wave us goodbye and Chania was a wonderful place. Should have stayed longer. Absolutely nothing.
• Susanne (10/5): Toller Aufenthalt in Chania - Die Wohnung hat eine sehr gute Lage, alles ist fußläufig wunderbar zu erreichen Sie ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Giorgos ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber. So ein Herzlichkeit findet man selten. Bei der Anreise bekamen wir Kaffee, Cracker, Kekse, Wein und vieles mehr. Die Betten waren herrlich bequem! Die Fragen wurden sofort beantwortet, und wir erhielten tolle Tipps. Und es gibt eine Dachterrasse, von der man nicht mehr runter möchte. Wir würden auf jeden Fall das nächste Mal länger bleiben und wieder dort wohnen wollen.
• Allen (10/5): - Giorgos was a fantastic host. The apartments are excellent. The location superb. The roof top deck was a real bonus. Thank you!
• Mark (10/5): Can’t wait to return! - It’s a beautiful property, spotlessly clean, in a brilliant position with lovely views. Giorgos the owner is brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and we had lots of treats every time the apartment was cleaned! He was so helpful with restaurant recommendations and places to visit. We had a wonderful stay!!! Nothing!
• Stephen (9/5): Perfect apartment in stunning location - Brilliant location a few steps from the Venetian harbour in Chania with many restaurants, bars and cafes nearby. Giorgos our host was extremely friendly and provided lots of great information on the area. He also provides a very generous selection of food and drink which was pretty much all we needed for a week. The 1 bedroom apartment was modern, tastefully decorated, and well equipped. There was a shared washing machine downstairs. The bed was very comfortable. The 2 bed apartments have their own balconies and while the 1 bed does not it does have sole access to a lovely courtyard (this is on a lower level) and access to a superb shared roof terrace with outstanding views over the area. Both are on different levels so be aware not the most practical. We still managed to transport or breakfast and drinks and snacks up to the roof terrace.
• Marc (10/5): Wonderful apartment within walking distance of everything. - Great apartment. Everything was nice, right from arrival where the friendly host met us with the keys and showed us around the property. They left us complimentary wine, snacks and coffee, which was much appreciated. The bathroom was lovely, the rooms were comfortable and the flat had a balcony on nearly every side. And it's as central as you can get, right next to the old venetian port. Nothing, our stay was amazing.
• Rosie (10/5): - A beautiful apartment on the port in the old town of Chania. Fantastic host Georgiou was so accomodating and lovely and the apartment was so comfortable.
• Brandon (10/5): - Our stay at Porta Harenae was so phenomenal that a great review may not do it justice. To start off, upon arrival we were so warmly greeted by our host, who walked us through the common areas and room we would be staying in. This included where we would be doing laundry (and how to use the machine because it was in Greek), our private balcony, the rooftop, and room of course. While showing us the roof (which has breathtaking views of the island & ocean), Giorgos gave us a short overview of Chania's history and cool facts on nearby architecture. It’s also important to mention that he took both of our luggages up the stairs and was more than happy to do so - they were very heavy. Everything from multiple towels, shampoo & conditioner, blowdryer, etc was available, but what made this place special were the complimentary Greek snacks! The room is modern, spacious, and the location could not be better — it is perfectly located within walking distance to tavernas, coffee shops, the harbor & Old Town. There is also a super convenient corner store open late night right by the place. Housekeeping is also included. What made this stay incredibly special was our host Giorgos. You can really feel the Greek hospitality when staying here, as he constantly checks in to make sure you are comfortable and that your stay is perfect. One day, he knew we were looking to go to a far-away beach, so he insisted on driving us and patiently waited until we were ready to go. He could not have been more friendly and hospitable. He gave us great recommendations for beaches, restaurants, bars, etc multiple times, connected us to an amazing driving service, and truly went above & beyond. Giorgos will not treat you like a guest, but as if you are his own family. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends. You will have a wonderful time staying here! N/A
• Diana (9/5): Es war rundum wunderschön - Die Unterkunft hat eine tolle Lage. Man ist sofort in der idyllischen Altstadt, am Hafen und an einem kleinen Strand, der zwar sehr schmal ist, aber uns völlig genügt hat, da wir gerne schwimmen gehen. Der Vermieter war unglaublich gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit. In der Wohnung war für alles gesorgt…Gute Pflegeprodukte, leckere Snacks und Frühstückssachen, Getränke🥰Die Einrichtung ist sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll. Besonderes Highlight ist die tolle Dachterrasse mit Blick über Hafen und Bucht.Wir sind begeistert.
• Kaner (10/5): - Giorgos was a wonderful host! He was great about communicating with us and coordinating our arrival time. When I asked for a taxi recommendation, he arranged a taxi and driver to meet us at the airport and take us right to the apartment. He met us at the property to give us the keys, view the apartment, and show us the fantastic rooftop deck with a beautiful view! Giorgos gave us great recommendations for restaurants and activities with links to everything via WhatsApp which made everything easy to find. The location of the apartment is terrific! It's easy to walk to everything in Old Town Chania. We really appreciated the lovely, modern, clean apartment and enjoyed the extra details - snacks, drinks, wine, luggage shelf, sound blocking windows (when the evening noise might get loud), comfortable beds, extra towels. We had everything we needed. Thanks Giorgos for sharing your property, local knowledge, hospitality, and smile! We had a marvelous time!! Everything was great!
• Colin (10/5): - Giorgos was a very welcoming host even when we arrived much later than expected. The apartment was precisely as advertised and in a perfect location, a little away from crowds but only 50 m. from the harbour. Thank you.
• Stacey (10/5): The apartment's clean, really well located and supplied with everything you need. The owner's great. - The owner, Giorgos, met us at the property and helped us upstairs with the bags. He did the same when we were checking out and he allowed us to stay a bit longer than normal check-out time. We stayed in the two-bedroom apartment, called Ignis, on the third floor. He was extremely helpful and kind. He offered suggestions of where to eat, told us about the local market on Saturday mornings which was great, and helped us organise the taxi to the airport at the end of our stay. The apartment was exceptionally clean and there's a great roof terrace. There was a welcome basket with lots of goodies, including wine and olive oil and a couple of cans of beer and juice in the fridge. There's a Nespresso machine with pods supplied. There's some herbal teas, but if you want black tea bring it yourself. I would highly recommend this apartment for its cleanliness, facilities, the helpfulness of the owner and the location which was excellent. Nothing
• Vanessa (10/5): very enjoyable, great host. even drive us to the airport on our last day. would definitely return. - There was a tray if goodies on our arrival which was so lovely plus we received extra items like cheese throughout the stay. Very generous hosts. everything was fantastic
• Mina Bellomo (10/5): BEST PLACE IN CHANIA - We absolutely loved our stay here — it was honestly the perfect apartment! The location couldn’t have been better — super close to everything, yet still felt peaceful and relaxing. The apartment itself had everything we needed (and more!), and it truly felt like a home away from home. Giorgos was an amazing host from start to finish. He stayed in touch with us before we arrived, was so kind and flexible when our plans changed, and throughout the week he checked in to see if we needed anything. He gave us awesome local tips for food and beaches — which we really appreciated! The apartment was just as stunning as the photos — maybe even better! The view was absolutely gorgeous, and the rooftop was such a highlight. The rooms were spacious, spotlessly clean, and we loved the thoughtful touches like the snacks, coffee, and drinks that were restocked after cleaning. It really made the whole experience feel extra special. We’re so grateful for such a memorable stay. I’m already dreaming of coming back — I honestly couldn’t recommend this place more! Nothing. Everything was perfect
• Milena (10/5): -
• Stef (10/5): Super! -
• Alexandra (9/5): Great location in old port chania - Great location and modern building
• Tawanna (10/5): -
• Deborah Gae (10/5): Just perfect - what a great place to stay. - Everything. From meeting the owner, who was so friendly and gave great recommendations, the special treats, rooftop area, beautiful apartments, clean and fresh and location was perfect.. 10/10. Thank you we will be back. Nothing…
• Lígia (10/5): - Giorgos é um anfitrião excepcional! Super atento aos detalhes, supriu nossas necessidades e mais, nos surpreendendo muito positivamente. O apartamento é super novo, instalações muito boas e funcionais, muito bem decorado. A localização é um grande diferencial também, muito próxima de bons restaurantes e atrações da antiga cidade.
• Debra (10/5): This was a lovely place to stay down on the waterfront, very close to the old town. The apartment was beautifully fitted - It was close to the harbour and old town. Beautifully done interiors.
• Laura (10/5): Superb modern, well-equipped apartment in a perfect location - deserves 11/10! - Excellent location, right at the end of the old harbour. Just a quick stroll into town and beaches are walkable in both directions. The apartment is modern and recently refurbed to the highest spec. Giorgos is the perfect host; greeted us on arrival to show us around, sent us lots of links to useful recommendations (beaches, restaurants, breakfast bars, taxi driver) and stayed in touch via WhatsApp to make sure everything was good. He left us a large bundle of welcome goodies and quality toiletries from a local supplier. We were in the top apartment (of 3 in the building) and the roof terrace was exceptional. There were chairs, sun beds and a parasol and the views over the harbour and bay provided a superb backdrop to an early evening glass of wine while reading a book. The roof terrace is shared with the other 2 apartments but for some strange reason, we were the only ones who took advantage of it. Just when you think it can’t get any better, the beds and pillows are pretty much the most comfortable I’ve ever come across on holiday! I’m usually like The Princess and The Pea about beds, and can’t wait to get back home to my own, but not this time! And of course the air conditioning was quiet and efficient. All perfect!
• Martín (10/5): - Excelente departamento muy bien ubicado, cómodo, limpio, y muy bien decorado. Giorgos muy amable, siempre pendiente de darnos buenos consejos, y nos recibió con una serie de productos de regalo. Nueva cama, lindas sábanas y almohadas, y nos dejaron hasta toallas de playa!!! Inmejorable!!! Solo para personas mayores tener en uent que no hay ascensor
• Eveliina (9/5): -
• Angelina (10/5): - Location is central but very quiet. The host Giorgos was incredibly friendly and helpful. The view from the terrace is magnificent. The next stay in Chania is definitely gonna be there Only the fact that we couldn’t stay longer :)
• Mia (10/5): -
• veronique (10/5): - La résidence est très bien située, à deux pas du port et de la vielle ville. L’appartement est très bien agencé et équipé. La literie est extraordinaire. Le graal : le roof top d’où nous avons admiré le coucher du soleil en dégustant les délicieux produits et le vin que Giorgos nous a offert. Giorgos est très accueillant et nous a très bien conseillé pour les restaurants et autres demandes. Merci Giorgos. Nous conseillerons votre établissement à nos amis Véronique, Aurélie et Bruno
• Melanie Renardier (10/5): - Notre séjour a été exceptionnel ! Giorgos est un hôte extraordinaire, toujours présent et attentif, qui nous a recommandé les meilleurs endroits à visiter et où bien manger. Le rooftop offre une vue à couper le souffle, parfaite pour profiter du petit-déjeuner ou d’un dîner face au coucher de soleil sur la ville et le phare vénitien. L’appartement est impeccable, avec un ménage régulier, une douche à l’italienne, une literie très confortable et même une machine à laver, très pratique pour un long séjour. Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié le patio privé, agréable pour lire tranquillement ou simplement partager un verre en toute intimité. L’emplacement est idéal : au centre de la ville, proche des restaurants, du port vénitien et des plages pour les excursions. Nous remercions sincèrement Giorgos pour son accueil exceptionnel, rare et précieux. Rien c'était parfait
• Daniele (10/5): We stayed at this beautiful property in the heart of Chania’s old town and couldn’t have made a better choice. The locat - Tutto Nulla
• Nicoletta Maria Immacolata (10/5): Meraviglioso - Il proprietario e’ disponibile, socievole e sempre a disposizione per consigli utili. Durante il soggiorno si è preoccupato della pulizia dell’appartamento. La struttura è bellissima, nuova , molto pulita e ben arredata. La struttura è Vicino al porto veneziano con tanti ristoranti e locali. Vicino c’è un parcheggio a pagamento ma è possibile parcheggiare sotto casa oppure ai parking free a due passi.
• Alex Panagakis (10/5): Great stay would come here again - Perfect Location, the Host Georgios was the best , he gave us all the information needed, places to see, places to eat and even history lessons of the area. The complimentary snacks/drinks was great and he replenished them daily. Nothing
• Joe (10/5): The host was wonderful, the space is beautiful, and the location is excellent - Excellent communication and welcoming arrival Nothing. Really perfect stay.
• Marion (10/5): Magnifique appartement avec terrasse panoramique sur le port de La Canée - Appartement idéalement localisé à La Canee. Prestations haut de gamme, rénovation très récente, deco très sympa, très bien équipé (il y a même une machine à laver commune), literie top, sdb également. Accueil par Giorgos très chaleureux, échanges très fluides. Il nous a donné pleins de bonnes adresses pour les visites ou restaurants. Nous avions un plateau d’accueil sur la table à notre arrivée très chouette, merci encore ! La terrasse sur le toit est fabuleuse. Nous y sommes allés chaque jour profiter du coucher de soleil. Nous avons même pu profiter de la place de stationnement devant le bâtiment, très pratique. Nous recommandons vivement ce logement. Nous avons regretté de n’y être resté que 2 jours, bcp trop court (La Canee et ses environs méritent d’y rester plus longtemps). L’appartement du 1er étage n’a pas de balcons contrairement aux 2 autres mais nous avons eu droit à un patio privatif au rdc que notre fils a adoré. Et la terrasse en toiture étant accessible, au final cela n’a pas été un problème !
• NADINE (10/5): - Merci à Giorgos pour la qualité de son acceuil, ses précieux conseils et sa gentillesse, ainsi que pour les petits cadeaux de bienvenue très agréables. L appartement est idéalement situé, à l entrée de la vieille ville, avec un parking gratuit tout près. L appartement est neuf, très bien aménagé. Le rooftop est un plus très appréciable. Je recommande +++ ! Rien
• Lioliou (10/5): - Εξαιρετική φιλοξενία σε έναν πολύ όμορφα διαμορφωμένο χώρο. Το δωμάτιο ήταν καθαρό και η τοποθεσία του ιδανική για βόλτες στο λιμάνι και τη παλιά πόλη. Ο οικοδεσπότης φρόντισε για μια άνετη και ευχάριστη διαμονή στα Χανιά. Θα το συνιστούσα ανεπιφύλακτα!
• Bereniki (10/5): Relaxing, convenient, amazing - Amazing view, apartment was clean, amazing host very attentive and provided snacks and drinks and great food recommendations, close to everything. Nothing
• Alexander (10/5): We had an amazing experience at Porto Harenae! Giorgos was an exceptional host. - Formal breakfast was not included but snacks and traditional goodies including Cretan honey and toast with Keurig machine included. Giogos was an exceptional host and very helpful with plenty of information for local tourist spots. Our apartment was pristine, modern and super comfortable. The location is incredible with fantastic views from our balconies and rooftop patio. Highly recommended. Wanted to stay longer.
• Paul (10/5): Central rooftop luxury with great host - Quiet despite central location, organic cosmetics, lovely welcome hamper etc. just aweseome
• Kate (10/5): - We had the best time staying here in Chania! The location couldn’t have been better — Old Town was just a short stroll away, there was a peaceful little beach right around the corner, and another scenic beach about 25min walk away that was a lovely walk along the coast. The neighbourhood felt safe and relaxed, and it was so easy to pop out for dinner or a coffee with everything at our doorstep. Our host was absolutely wonderful — super friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. They gave us fantastic restaurant and activity recommendations and kept us constantly stocked with treats, shampoos, toiletries, and anything else we might need. Housekeeping every couple of days meant the place stayed spotless and felt like new. The bed was really comfortable, the view from our balcony was beautiful, and the rooftop a lovely to relax and sunbathe. Overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend and return back sometime soon. N/A
• laura (10/5): - Tout était très très bien à commencer par Giorgos, le propriétaire des lieux. Un accueil formidable, avenant et disponible. Le lieux est très très bien placé , le rooftop incroyable et nous n avons même pas eu besoin de faire des courses, l hôte nous a mis à disposition des apéritifs, des petits déjeuners bref tout est fait pour que nous profitions du moment. Nous avons pas eu la chance de rester plus de deux jours mais il vous donne toutes les infos, les bonnes adresses ( resto, parking…) . L appartement est impeccable, au calme avec tout ce qu il faut , nous avons même eu la chance de pouvoir faire des machines !
• Jennifer (10/5): Amazing property, amazing location, amazing host! - Perfect for our time in Chania! Amazing location and great space for our family of 5. Giorgos is an exceptional host. Very responsive and gave us many fantastic recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area. Loved our time here! Nothing. Loved everything!
• Chiara (10/5): Struttura favolosa! - La struttura è di nuova costruzione ed è situata vicino al centro di Chania e al porto vecchio. Appartamento arredato molto bene e spazi ben suddivisi. Camere ampie e bagno con doccia molto carino. All’ultimo piano è presente un terrazzo, condiviso con gli altri due appartamenti, con un vista strepitosa e tramonti favolosi. Giorgos, il proprietario, impagabile! È stato sempre presente ad ogni nostra domanda e ci ha dato molti consigli su cosa visitare o dove andare a mangiare. Nulla!
• Vanessa (10/5): Extraordinaire - L hôte est vraiment extrêmement serviable, il nous conseille les endroits à visiter ! Le logement est nettoyé tous les deux jours, les draps sont changés également. Serviettes de plage fournies , un plateau de nourriture, capsules de café et boissons est offert tous les deux jours aussi ! Le shampoing et le gel douche sont à notre disposition dans le logement. Vraiment très accueillant, il reste à notre disposition dès que nous avons besoin et il est présent à notre arrivée. Nous avons une terrasse à disposition qui est très agréable pour admirer le coucher de soleil ! Nous y retournerons les yeux fermés ! EXCEPTIONNEL
• Rozemarijn (10/5): Amazing! - Giorgos is so nice and he and his wife have done such a great job in renovating and designing the house. The location is wonderful, the view exceptional and the hospitality amazing. Don’t hesitate, this is worth it.
• ALEXANDER (10/5): Our host George was always there when we needed him. Recently renovated apartment in a prime location . - Spacious and very modern. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Location is prime and parking right opposite. Short distance to all restaurants and supermarkets. George was an amazing host.
• Andreas (10/5): Chania wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. - Der Vermieter war die ganze Zeit um uns sehr bemüht. Er war sehr gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit, stand uns mit Tipps über WhatsApp zur Seite. Er versorgte uns mit landestypischen Köstlichkeiten. Vielen Dank noch einmal dafür. Die Wohnung war sehr schön eingerichtet. Es fehlte an nichts. Die Reinigung kam regelmäßig. Die Dachterasse ist das absolute Highlight. Dort haben wir oft den Abend ausklingen lassen. Die Lage war sehr zentral. Wir konnten alles zu Fuß erreichen. In der Nähe gibt es ganz viele Tavernen und direkt neben der Wohnung ist ein ganz tolles Restaurant, was sehr zu empfehlen ist.
• linda (10/5): Could not have had a more positive experience on our first trip to Crete, the owner and property made it a memorable exp - Excellent location, perfect base to explore Chania. Apartment was beautifully renovated with great amenities and had an amazing roof terrace overlooking the harbor and city. Great restaurants and attractions outside your door. Owner was so warm and helpful, and wanting to ensure we had a wonderful stay. We highly recommend and would absolutely book again when we return. Nothing, it was perfect!
• Iona (10/5): Porta Harenae is the perfect base from which to explore the Venetian harbour and labyrinth of alleyways in the old town. - Beautifully presented apartment in an excellent location. Giorgos was a charming and generous host, providing a bountiful welcome pack as well as lots of helpful suggestions for trips and restaurants. Terra apartment has a lovely private courtyard garden and we loved having access to the spacious roof terrace with wonderful views over Chania and Koum Kapi. Nothing to dislike!
• Ellie (10/5): Perfect stay, host and location - Our family had such a wonderful stay. Our host was very diligent throughout our stay and we were given snacks and hampers throughout our week. The apartment is of such high quality and 11/10 clean! I would highly recommend especially for family, we had our toddler and the apartment was great for us and baby safe. As a second visit to Chania, this location was perfect. Rooftop for sunsets is a must Nothing!
• Heri (10/5): Das oberste Appartement, direkt unter der Dachterrasse ist genial - Die Stadtlage war für unsere Urlaubsplanung ideal; wir konnten direkt vor unserer Unterkunft auf einem öffentlichen Parkplatz kostenlos parken. Für uns was es sogar ein Spaß, einen der wenigen freien Parkplätze zu finden, man musste eben so kreativ wie die Einheimischen sein. wir waren rundherum zufrieden. Unser Vermieter Giorgios war einfach liebenswert. Er hat uns viele Tips gegeben wo und was in Chania läuft, tolle Strände per WhatsApp weitergegeben, gute Restaurants empfohlen und einfach immer da gewesen für ein nettes Gespräch. Ständig waren Kühlschrank und Süßigkeiten nachgefüllt, angefragt wann das Zimmer gereinigt werden soll, sogar die Handtücher für den Strand wurden gestellt und gewechselt. gar nichts
• Denis (10/5): Fabulous property, marvellous host. We will be back! - Spotlessly clean and stylishly furnished. Everything you could want is provided, including a welcome pack We stayed 4 nights in the double roomed apartment, which has exclusive access to a ground floor garden area. It was ideal for relaxing with a book and a coffee. The upper terrace has magnificent views of Chania and the sea. Giorgos was so helpful and gave us lots of info about the local area and restaurants. Nothing
• Nancy (10/5): - The location was perfect, close to shopping, dining, etc. Giorgos was also the perfect host! He helped us with our luggage on check-in and check-out, and stocked the apartment with many snacks, coffee, bottled waters and a bottle of wine! The place was immaculate, with comfy beds and furniture and a spacious bathroom. And the rooftop deck had amazing views, perfect for watching sunrises and sunsets. Giorgos recommended 2 restaurants and they were both excellent - with one of them right next to the apartment. We were sad to leave and would definitely book this apartment again if we come back to Chania! Nothing. It was perfect!
• Maddison (10/5): Simply perfect. - Our stay here was simply perfect. We can’t thank Giorgos enough for his kindness and warm welcome. The apartment was spotless, modern and beautiful with a wholesome welcome pack of food/drinks waiting for us on arrival and topped up throughout our week stay. The amenities such as the washing machine, toiletries, tv with steaming services and kitchen facilities made our stay even more homely and easy! The rooftop terrace is the star of the show with panoramic views of the old port and old town. There is the most amazing Cretan taverna next door that all visitors MUST TRY! Giorgos couldn’t do enough for us and went above and beyond to make our stay so perfect! The location is a 10/10 and very quiet and peaceful but still located by the port in the old town it’s the best of both worlds! We already can’t wait to return and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when visiting Chanià! Highly highly recommend!
• John (10/5): We loved it here and it was perfect for our trip to Chania. Giorgios was an amazing host providing us with cold drinks a - Perfect location, close to the old town while still being quiet. The apartment is beautifully finished with all the amenities you could want and all the rooms are air-conditioned and comfortable. The view from the sun terrace is great. Nothing we liked everything!
• Clay (10/5): Staybwas awesome in every sense of the word! - Very clean, comfortable and spacious. Excellent location, safe and quiet. Great views and access to all types of food and shopping. Nothing.
• Barmettler (10/5): - Beautifully renovated boutique property in a perfect location with an amazing roof top terrace perfect for after drinks and breakfast. We were so looked after by our host who helped with luggage, delivered us complimentary food and drink snacks and was just absolutely welcoming and consistently making sure our stay was perfect. You will not be disappointed and we will definitely return!!
• DAVID (10/5): Excellent accommodation in great position - The position looking over the sea. The nearness to the restaurants. Available parking which was free and accessible. Friendly and helpful host. In door sitting area was quite small.

• nicolas (10/5): - The hôtel is perfect I recomand this place 😎 The proximity of the old town and the amazing beaches.The hôtel was very nice " the best hôtel on Chania " Giorgos give to us a good advice for the nicest spot around. Thanks for all the goodies during the stay 😀👍 Tout était parfait 👌
• Xin (10/5): A wonderful short vacation in Chania - We, as a group of 5 people, had a very pleasant stay. The apartment is very nicely decorated. The location is superb, very close to all the attractions. There are many restaurants around. The host is very helpful and friendly. He communicated with us before and after our stay with clear instructions and info. He takes snacks and breakfast to us in the mornings. next time if we visit in Chania again, definitely I will book the same apartment. You can't ask for more for the roof top sea view. It's great. There is a big parking place cross the street if you rent a car. Nothing.
• Javier (10/5): - the property was spotless and the location is great! Giorgos is extremely nice and very accommodating
• Tibor (10/5): Amazing rooftop appartments in the inspiring old town of Chania - Our stay at Porta Harenae was an absolutely wonderful experience, we've enjoyed it a lot! Giorgos was an excellent host and gave us a heartful and warm welcome in his beautiful appartment located in the old town/harbour of Chania. He suprised us every day from new with some very delicious delights as shown on the pictures. Thank you so much Giorgos for your time and efforts, also for driving me to the bus station with our luggage on a sunday! We felt us very welcome and can strongly recommend everybody spending some days at Porta Harenae. Some more words: Appartments: Porta Harenae are in a very new condition and all rooms are renovated in a professional and clean execution. The rooms are very clean and with a lot of nice decorations. Every appartment has a small kitchen with all things you need. The bathrooms have very good lights and you must try the supplied shampoo and shower. It smells so good and you can buy it in the store at the ground floor. What to do in and around Chania: We have booked a car at uDrive, they will bring it directly to the appartment and den we recommend a trip to Elafonisi beach. Also make some stops in the hills, there are some nice villages there and everybody was very friendly. I can also recommend walk trough the market on Saturday, the products to buy and to taste are delicious! Also try the vegetarian restaurant around the corner, the mesls were great and they offer also rental cars. Everything was perfect, no words for any complaints.

È situato in una posizione strategica per il centro, con parcheggi nelle vicinanze, e c'è anche una terrazza condivisa con vista spettacolare sul mare! Il proprietario oltre ad averci assistito e consigliato tutto il tempo del nostro soggiorno, ci ha sorpreso più volte con dei regali gastronomici, una coccola meravigliosa! Assolutamente consigliato
• Finn (10/5): A fantastic apartment and a fantastic host - We were really happy to stay in Porta Harenae, and mostly because of something you can't see when you look at the beautiful pictures of the apartments and the views from them here on the web. It is the host Giorgos who, with his personal communication, very good service and targeted tips for the city, made our stay extra nice. Thank you very much for that.
• Crystal (10/5): Our host Giorgio is amazing! He made our stay very special. Coming back next year - Location was perfect!! Couldn’t ask for a better place. Walking distance to historical sites, port, restaurants & shops. There was nothing we didn’t like. We loved it so much we spent 3 nights in the first week of September then went back for another 3 nights at the end of September.
• Mox (10/5): A wonderful stay in Crete made memorable by the lovely property and the amazing host, Giorgos. - I loved the warm hospitality of Giorgos, who made me feel truly welcome. The property was clean, comfortable, and beautifully set up, with all the amenities I needed for a perfect stay. There wasn't anything I didn't like about the property. Everything exceeded my expectations.
• Monika (10/5): Awesome stay - Our stay at Porta Harenae was fantastic. The house is located in the old town, very close to the Lighthouse, Mosque, and all the iconic spots in Chania. I could see the sea from my bed :) Downstairs, there’s an excellent restaurant, Chrisostomos, with delicious food where the locals eat. The apartment is just like in the photos—very beautiful, modern, and clean. There were balconies on all sides of the apartment, which was very convenient. The rooftop terrace is also great—we felt like we were watching the sunsets in the very heart of Chania. Giorgos made sure we felt right at home. Thank you, we want to come back :) we liked everything
• Sandra (10/5): The property was incredible, very clean and the room was exactly as describe and shown in the photos. Great location, cl - The property was incredible, very clean and the room was exactly as describe and shown in the photos. Great location, close to the city center, at a walking distance. You have a parking in front of the residence, is not easy to find a place but not impossible. It is a family business and the owners are what everyone will wish for. Giorgos was amazing with us, left us drinks and snacks every now and then making our stay so warm welcomed. The room was also cleaned up depends on the stays and needs. Would deffinetly recomend and come back. We liked everything

Οι ιδιοκτήτες ήταν πολύ φιλόξενοι και μας παρείχαν όσα χρειαστήκαμε και με το παραπάνω.
