Location

Akrotiri Peninsula lies 10 km north- east from the Venetian harbour of Hania. Here are the tombs of Eleftherios and Sofoklis Venizelos, the airport of Hania and the port of Souda.

Akrotiri is a place for nature lovers, with interesting walking and hiking paths through the unspoilt gorges with amazing diversity, natural beauty and living traditions.

With picturesque sandy beaches, all awarded with the Blue Flag, century-old monasteries and churches, impressive caves with rich lithological and archaeological interest, historical monuments, Akrotiri attracts many visitors every year, who enjoy Cretan hospitality and nature at their best.

The biggest part of the area is flat except from the eastern side which is rocky with a rugged hill range (the highest being Sklopa: 528m high)-giving the impression of high mountains - and pierced by a few gorges that end to the sea in some very scenic rocky coves.

An other characteristic of those hills are the numerous caves that can be found there, with beautiful stalagmites and stalactites sometimes with amazing shapes.

The area is situated 5km east of the city centre and not too far from the Harbour of Souda and local airport. Crete, and especially the prefecture of Chania, has very many sights worth visiting.

But it surely is worth one?s while to enjoy the natural and historical places, monasteries and unique caves found on the Peninsula. First stop would be a mere 500m north-east of the hotel, at the historical church of Profiti Ilias. The revolutionary Cretans gathered here in 1897 to demand union with Greece. Here also are the graves of Eleftherios Venizelos (1864 – 1935), a prominent figure in the history of Modern Greece and his son?s Sofoklis, who too was an important politician during that time. Continuing from here, one may visit a number of the peninsula's villages with their interesting popular architecture which has its roots in the days of Venetian rule. Near the village of Pazinos, for example, is the monastery of Saint John the Merciful, a characteristic example of western monasteries and 16th century architecture.

On the way to the airport is Agia Triada (Holy Trinity) an impressive monastery from the Venetian rule, built in the early 17th century by the Giancarolo brothers, who were monks. Further down, going through a ravine, one arrives at the Gouvernetou Monastery (16th century), with Venetian sculptures on its facade. A footpath leads to one of the prettiest areas of the prefecture, dotted with stalactite-lined caves which served as hermitages. 500m further on, is the Bear Cave (Arkoudospilia) with its impressive natural rock formation of a bear.This scenic tour ends at the 16th century Catholic monastery of Saint John the Hermit. The complex is awesome, as it is built in the river bed of the ravine and in harmony with its wild surroundings.

Last but not least one can enjoy the beautiful peninsula beaches such as those of Kalathas, Tersana, Stavros and Marathi where one can find the ruins of Ancient Minoa.
