Ammos Hotel is located right on a white sandy beach, Glaros Beach, in one of the most beautiful bays in the area. Named after the small picturesque church upon the hill, the bay is one of the last best kept secrets. Water sports are available at 5 km from the hotel. Although the beach is public, only guests tend to use it - making it a de facto private beach!
Ammos is far away from the noisy main road and yet only 4 km from the Venetian harbour and the city of Chania, 1 km from the cute little village of Galatas and 4 km from the village of Platanias (the centre of night life). Ammos hotel is by all means the ideal base for your excursions. That is, if you ever want to leave!
Chania dates back to more than 3000 years. Built upon the ruins of ancient Kydonia, throughout its long history, the city has been inhabited by the Minoans, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Venetians, the Arabs and the Turks. All of them have left their distinguishing marks and have made this probably the most intriguing and culturally rich city in Crete.
Stroll through the small coves, choose peace and quiet or the excitement of a nearby beach bar, play volleyball or jog around the paths of the protected pine grove (5 minutes walk from Ammos). Wander around the old city's cobble stone roads, visit the Naval and the Archaeological museums, both small but incredibly beautiful, discover the street with the old knives (a tradition that goes back centuries), buy rare herbs, thyme, honey, and virgin olive oil from the local market (a magnificent 19th century structure built on the ruins of the Venetian fortress), discover the Turkish and the Jewish neighbourhoods and finally drink a raki, the famous local drink, together with old Cretans at a "kafenio".
