“Aelios Design Hotel, nestled in Chania's Old Town, caught my attention with its dedication to unique design and the intimate atmosphere created by its internal courtyard-a quiet escape steps from local culture; plus, the individually-themed rooms showcase regional artistry. The hotel's location means you're in the heart of things, yet tucked away from the noise, and the extra touches make it stand out. This is a place with genuine character.”
