We came across the Akrotiri Hotel on a June Sunday evening when our flight to London Gatwick was postponed for two days. Our hosts warmly checked us in to our rooms at 10pm on arrival from the airport. Like many Crete hotels the hotel is traditionally family run where qualities of being welcomed in and providing local assistance made our flight cancellation fade away for the duration of our stay. The rooms were cleaned to a high standard, with linen changed daily. Breakfast was of good continental standard with local produce and freshly made bread. The balcony area at the front hotel provided lovely views of the Chania seafront. The rear garden had fruit trees and tortoises with the owner showing us having their breakfast. Chania town was a walk down the hill, with plenty of restaurants, available boat trips, beaches and shopping area with some lovely shops. One shop had centuries old building features visible through glass which could have been a museum if it wasn’t a shop.
