A small, sea-view, family-friendly retreat set on a semi-private rocky bay,
Giorgi's Blue Apartments is located a 15-minute drive from Chania’s harborfront cafes,
restaurants, and nightlife. A peaceful waterfront location, spacious, simple apartment-style rooms with balconies, and a welcoming communal atmosphere that includes organized barbecues and activities all make the hotel a popular option with older couples, families, and anyone else look for a breezy, laid-back base within reach of Chania. There is a large pool, especially popular with families, but more adventurous guests make for the small bay, where stairs
descend the cliff into the crystal clear sea below. Some guests, however, have complained about noise from the pool and planes above, as well as the lack of a full restaurant.

Scene
This classic Greek-style villa hotel with sea views and a laid-back atmosphere caters to older couples and families.
Friendly and well-equipped, the family-run Giorgi's Blue Apartments has views of the water from nearly everywhere on its grounds, from the many terra cotta terraces and courtyards to the expansive pool deck. The aesthetic takes its inspiration from classic Greek island villas, with lots of blue and white stucco, terra cotta tiles, and flowering vines and potted plants. Thanks to a location outside Chania, the hotel's atmosphere is laid-back, focused on the pool and beach below; most guests are families or older couples who spend
their days at the beach, around the small pool, or sightseeing nearby, then
go into Chania in the evenings to enjoy the restaurants and nightlife. The hotel does offer some organized events for children, and barbecues and the like for all guests. Rooms are simple and plain, as are common spaces, but the focus is on the sea views.
Location
Overlooking an isolated rocky bay near the small village of Kalathas, a 15-minute drive from Chania
On a hillside
along a narrow road, a 15 minutes' drive from the cafes, restaurants, museums, and attractions of historic Chania, Giorgi's Blue Apartments is located within easy
reach of many tourist sights. The hotel itself can be somewhat difficult to find, but its seaside location is relaxed and picturesque; there are no restaurants or sights nearby. There are several sandy beaches within short driving distance, and the trekking opportunities in The Samaria Gorge aren't far, either. Other nearby sights include the tropical beach of Elafonissi, typical villages
of the White Mountains, and the fabled
Minoan ruins at Knossos.
Rooms
Spacious, modern apartments with kitchenettes, balconies, and, from some, panoramic sea views
The rooms at Giorgi's Blue Apartments are, of course, all apartment-style accommodations, designed for two, three, or more people, making them perfect for families. All are clean and bright, if relatively simple and sparse, with splashes of color in fixtures and fittings, based around a simple, blue-and-white theme with clean-lined Ikea-style furnishings. All have balconies or terraces, furnished with table and chairs, and some have panoramic sea views. All are equipped with kitchenettes -- complete with ovens,
microwaves, coffeemakers, refrigerators, and plenty of cooking utensils -- as well as large
separate lounge/dining areas, making them ideal for budget-conscious couples
and families. Guests seeking peace and
quiet should avoid rooms near the pool and pool bar, which can be noisy.
Features
Large pool with bar, rocky beach with sswimming area, small children's play area, and free breakfast and Wi-Fi
Giorgi's Blue Apartments has a large, sea-view pool with a lounger-filled deck and casual pool bar. A free breakfast is served daily, and there's an indoor bar as well, but the hotel lacks a proper restaurant. A small range of drinks and snacks can be ordered at all hours, or the staff can arrange for food to be delivered. The hotel is set on a small bay and has a small, rocky, semi-private beach with direct access, where you can swim in the clear waters below. There's also a small children’s playground and a limited selection of board games. The hotel has free Wi-Fi.
