We have named this recently renovated, beautiful vintage mini home "Aristokosmos", from the Greek words "ariston" (excellent) + "kosmos" (world/jewel), conducive to the superlative quality this atmospheric, fully detached 19th century home will offer. Its architecture meshes harmoniously with one of the most picturesque and historical neighborhoods of Chania, the old Tabakaria (Tannery factory) district, which is gradually turning into one of the greatest attractions for the discerning guest to the island. The main entrance leads to a cozy ergonomic ground floor with fireplace, fully equipped kitchenette, a sofa which converts into a semi-double bed, dining table and chairs, walk-in shower and toilet, closet, separate laundry-machine area and luggage space under the stone staircase. On the upper floor, the guest is met with the ambience of ceiling beams four meters above a peach pine wooden floor. A Queen-size bed, Smart TV, mini-bar, closet, toilet+shower, a beautifully cozy loft with another semi-double bed and a private sea-view terrace guarantee a most unique experience. No expense has been spared in the decor, quality furnishings, luxury and comfort in this traditional home. However, it should be noted that the sleeping areas are not partitioned with doors. Everything is laid out in open spaces. Our neighborhood is not only privileged in being in one of the most picturesque seaside historical locations of the city, the tannery district, but also in not having lost the pulse of its initial function, as it hosts the sole surviving traditional tannery, operating under the strictest sanitary conditions in respect of the touristic development of the region. Ιn fact, it is of such significance that schools and agencies organize field trips to visit it. The neighborhood is one of the quietest in town and boasts immediate, walking-distance access to everything a vacationer needs. Beyond this, the city's most famous (not to mention "most picturesque") sea tavern, "Thalassino Ageri", is located a mere 100 meters from the home, where you can dine literally beside the naturally formed sea pool with the unique view of the city outlined by a horizon that provides one of the most breath-taking sunset views. Apart from the cove right in front of your house, within a short walking distance, you can swim at the famous "Kouloura" swim spot - a picturesque, natural pool encircled by rocks frequented by locals and guests alike. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchenette - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Fishing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 592 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19960000/19951600/19951547/8940ad03.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy 2 bedroom apt in front of the sea Chania - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 42 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=19951547&PinnedHotelID=19951547&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/47000000/47000000/46998000/46997908/bad1fd6a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Grandma's Chic Home in Chania Venetian Harbor Chania Town - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=46997908&PinnedHotelID=46997908&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/21000000/20020000/20012900/20012870/52723660.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Eclectic 3-bedroom house in front of the sea Chania - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 45 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=20012870&PinnedHotelID=20012870&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33580000/33571000/33570909/478e6a00.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Souda bay Penthouse - next to the beach - nature and farm around Souda - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 8.6 Excellent 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=33570909&PinnedHotelID=33570909&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18980000/18970500/18970436/3ef855d7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lavender villa is set in our beautiful landscaped gardens next to the pool.
