"The hotel had everything you need and was recently constructed so in great shape. In all my travels around the world, I have not met a more friendly group of staff. They literally did everything to make our stay enjoyable. I would highly recommend staying here."

"A beautiful place nestled in the mountains, set in a charming, beautifully restored village. Its location is also ideal, roughly halfway between Elafonissi Beach and the Balos Lagoon, making it a great base for exploring both. Our room was a wonderful cottage, full of character and very comfortable. The staff were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. The restaurant was another highlight, serving truly outstanding dishes. A wonderful experience overall."

"Rooms were spacious, clean and had beautiful views of Chania! The breakfast buffet was a real highlight with the range of food and the staff were so helpful. Great facilities such as onsite car rental and gym. Great free shuttle which helped us a lot.
At times there was a lot of noise coming from the upstairs restaurant which wouldn’t stop until 12am. Rooms could’ve been soundproofed."

"Highly recommend staying at Alcanea. Eva, our host, was incredibly helpful and friendly. The staff/service was great. And the complimentary breakfast offered lots of local options and all were delicious. Best part of this stay was the view and location. The view of the port was awesome with the water, local bars/shops, and mountains in the distance. And there were dozens of restaurants and shops offering all we might need/want. This hotel made Chania feel like home."

Niki and all the staff were super-helpful and welcoming, without being intrusive. They kept asking if I needed anything, but everything you could expect from such a place was already there.
My room (apartment) was lovely, so nice to have a sofa and couch to sit on! And a balcony to watch over the town square.

From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. The manager noticed that my birthday was 2 days prior to my arrival, and to my complete surprise, arranged for a cake and an iced bottle of Prosecco to be delivered to my room. A lovely generous, gesture, and such a rarity in today's commercial climate. The facilities were all of an excellent standard, but it's the friendly atmosphere that really sets this hotel apart.

Incredible hotel which we’d recommend wholeheartedly! Hotel staff went out of their way to offer the warmest Greek welcome and first class service, especially Apostolos, Renata, Anna-Maria and the other young man who served breakfast. Hotel is beautifully decorated, with stunning sea view rooms and a wonderful roof terrace. Delightful breakfast with plenty of local treats to sample. Very close to both ports and right in the centre, but quiet. We hope we’ll be back! Efharisto poli!

This hotel could easily be a 4 Star. Free parking and only 2-3 km away from town. Hotel also offers a free shuttle to the town until midnight. Eva was outstanding every morning as she welcomed us with a smile on her face and very polite. Lady at reception was also very helpful, overall all the staff try their best to provide you best service. I enjoyed my stay and will be visiting Chania again and most probably stay in the same hotel. Fitness centre need attention as not everything is maintained...

This is a truly charming hotel, in a great location. The service was so so welcoming it gave us the best start to our holiday in Crete. The staff recommended great local food and the breakfast was just wonderful. I am so glad we went there. We will definitely be going back.

Great hotel in an unique historic setting. Very convent location by the harbour with multiple restaurants and landmarks in a walking distance. The a la carte breakfast is very delicious with great variety. We will definitely frequent once again

Hotel was great and room was a good size for a family of four. Breakfast was good. It was great value and a perfect location to explore Chania.
If arriving by car it isn’t well sign posted from the road and the entrance is down a very pretty alley.

Excellent accommodation, close to Chania if you have a car, and close to the hotel that operates the villas.
Very spacious villas, pool, very good views from the balcony.
The mini-kitchen and the big fridge were very welcome - enough to cook a quick meal and store whatever you bring from the city and surrounding areas.
The cleaning staff are very attentive, and seem to always be in a good mood - adds positively to the atmosphere.
You can make use of the hotel services like spa/massage.

Excellent for a one night stop before flight.
Beautiful apartments set into the hillside overlooking Souda Bay. Incredibly modern, new and super clean. Very spacious rooms, equipped with all the essentials and also outstanding views.
Staff are absolutely wonderful. Nothing was an issue for them. The receptionist was incredibly accommodating with my requests and really lovely to deal with.
Wonderful small pool area which again, has an incredible view of Souda bay and the mountains. Well...

The best area to stay in Ravdoucha is directly along the coastline near the beach and its tavernas.
This area offers a tranquil escape, superb for those looking to unwind by the sea. You'll find a selection of villas and guesthouses perched on the hillside, many with stunning views of the Aegean Sea. The main beach, a mix of pebbles and sand, is easily accessible, and there are a couple of top tavernas right by the water, serving fresh local seafood.
Couples seeking a peaceful retreat will find this area particularly appealing. The evenings are quiet, allowing for romantic dinners with sea views and stargazing. The natural beauty of the surroundings, with olive groves descending to the sea, provides a wonderful backdrop for relaxation.
Families with older children might also enjoy this area for its relaxed pace and direct access to the beach. The water is generally calm, suitable for swimming and snorkelling.
When is the best time to go to Ravdoucha?
The best time to go to Ravdoucha is during the shoulder seasons of May, early June, September, and early October.
These months offer the most pleasant weather, with warm but not excessively hot temperatures, ideal for enjoying the beach and outdoor activities. You'll also find the village and surrounding areas less crowded than in the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed and authentic experience. This period is great for couples seeking a tranquil getaway and families looking to avoid the busiest times.
July and August are also popular, though much hotter and busier. If you prefer a lively option and don't mind higher temperatures and more people, these months can still be enjoyable.
