Scene
Small-scale property in neutral hues, ideal for couples and families
Clean, but fairly basic, this small-scale,
family-run hotel close to a busy road attracts couples and families who spend
their days visiting Chania, lazing on the property’s sandy beach, or using the sun
loungers scattered around the Yakinthos’ medium-sized pool, which
also has a snack area that serves basic food and drinks. The building’s
off-white exterior evokes the clean lines and minimalism of classic Greek
architecture. The neutral palette continues into the marble-floored main lobby and stairwells.
A seating area outfitted with sofas, tables, and a flat-screen TV is flanked by
the reception desk and a wooden bar area with stools and additional seating.
Location
Close to a sandy beach in the small town of Agii Apostoli; 10 minutes by car from Chania
The Yakinthos is about a 10-minute drive
from the cafes, restaurants, museums, and other attractions of the historic city
of Chania. Close to the long sandy beach of Glaros and Agii Apostoli, the venue is also an ideal base for visiting other local attractions, including the beaches
of Stalos and Agia Marina, the villages of the White Mountains, the fabled
Minoan remains of Knossos, and the spectacular trekking opportunities of Samaria Gorge. Visitors should keep in mind that travel time
to some of these locales are significant and can be more than an hour's drive away. Chania
International Airport is less than half an hour east by car.
Rooms
Clean and bright with basic facilities that include flat-screen TVs and air-conditioning
Clean
and bright with plain beige walls and splashes of color in bedspreads and
curtains, the Yakinthos' 39 rooms range from single units to family apartments. Spaces have pool or garden views and include wood furnishings, radios, hairdryers, flat-screen TVs, and mini-fridges for
stocking basic snacks. Air-conditioning and safe boxes are available for an
extra fee while Wi-Fi is free. Units with pool views are popular and should be
booked in advance. Guests seeking peace and quiet should book rooms in the rear
of the property, away from the busy road.
Features
Medium-size pool along with exterior and interior bar
The amenities at the Yakinthos
are minimal. Still, definite highlights of this friendly hotel include
immediate beach access and its medium-size pool, which has a bar and plenty of
sun loungers. Situated in the center of the complex and away from the busy
road, the area has a small children’s pool as well. Outfitted with an interior lounge bar, the property also serves a varied buffet breakfast and range of snacks, and an Internet corner can be found in the main lobby.
