Historic Monastery Accommodations

San Salvatore occupies a Venetian monastery designated as a historical monument by the Ephorate of Antiquities and UNESCO. Guests stay in converted monks' cells, which are private properties. All 2 soundproofed homes feature separate sitting areas, kitchens, free WiFi, air conditioning, and computers. Each has a private balcony or patio, with some offering views of the Venetian Harbour.

Local Cuisine Breakfast

Local cuisine breakfasts are available daily from 7 AM. Full breakfasts are served daily from 8:00 AM.

Rooftop Terrace Access

Guests have access to a rooftop terrace and garden with views. The property includes laundry facilities and offers tour/ticket assistance. Modern Greek Language and Culture courses are available through the Dialogos educational Association.

Central Old Town Location

The monastery is situated in Chania Old Town above Firkas Fortress, steps from Firka Fortress and the Maritime Museum of Crete. It is within a 15-minute walk of Nea Chora Beach and Kalamaki Beach. The Old Venetian Harbour, with its al fresco restaurants and cafes, encircles the area. The nearest airport is 12 km away in Souda.

Express Services Available

Featured amenities include express check-in, express check-out, dry cleaning/laundry services, and luggage storage. Room service is available. Each accommodation is private, meaning guests have the entire home to themselves and only share it with other guests in their party.

“The location within the old town is ideal, making it easy to explore Chania's attractions. What stands out is the unique accommodation housed in a building with historical significance, plus the gracious hospitality noted by many. I think this property is particularly well-suited for families interested in both cultural experiences and a relaxing stay.”
