Dining

Experience sensory dining at the on-site Mon.Es Restaurant, where the menu is inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Crete. You can choose from **Bed and Breakfast** or **Half Board** meal plans. Start your morning with a traditional Cretan breakfast in the charming courtyard, featuring local honey, artisanal cheeses, and fresh pastries. For dinner, the chef prepares refined dishes using herbs and ingredients sourced directly from the island's mountains. You’ll dine in a sophisticated setting that captures the refreshing breeze from the nearby harbour.

Pools and Spa

The hotel features a stunning indoor pool set within a stone-walled space that echoes the building’s monastic past. If you are looking for total relaxation, the wellness area offers a traditional Turkish hammam and a variety of skin and body treatments. Please note that the use of the Spa centre, including massages, the hammam, and specific wellness treatments, is subject to additional charges.

Beach

While the hotel is located in the heart of the historic town, you are never far from the sea. The nearest sandy beach, Nea Chora, is approx. a 15-minute walk or a very short drive away. This local favourite is lined with traditional fish tavernas and is perfect for a sunset stroll along the water’s edge.

Sport and Entertainment

The entertainment here is found in the culture and history surrounding you. You can spend your days exploring the Maritime Museum or the Archaeological Museum, both within walking distance. As evening falls, the Old Harbour transforms into a chic setting for tranquil relaxation, with plenty of sophisticated bars and boutique shops to discover just outside your door.

Family Amenities

While the atmosphere is primarily geared towards adults and couples, families are welcome. The hotel can provide baby cots upon request to make your stay more comfortable, and the central location means you are within easy reach of local pharmacies and shops for any essentials you might need for your little ones.
