This is a wondrful place for a holiday! Lovely accommodation, everything you need for a small and friendly apartment hotel. Breakfast was amazing as well as lunch at the pool. Want to treat yourself to an evening meal the Chefs here wont dissapoint you. The amaxing staff Mr Andreas and Maria look after you so very well from Mornong to Dusk! Reception staff a treasure trove of information for trips out, places to visit and more. Nothing was too much trouble. Truthfully, a wonderful place to stay, its away from the hub-bub noise of the main tourist areas, but thats it's appeal and charm. Short strolls bring you to Cafes, - Cafe Virage and Penny's, as well as restairants, Nesaki - must book, Kalamaki Beach bar, are just a few I tried, mini-supermarkets , pharmacy who was so helpful. There are also ATM's, gift shops and lots more! Bus into Chania very simple and dont forget to book the Little Fun Land Train! Thank you to everyone at Porto Kalamaki for a lovely holiday.

“Perfect Cheeky Week, beginning of the season.”

We had a wonderful week at Porto Kalamaki Maria and Andreas couldn’t do enough for us. We booked a one bed apartment (Room 210) overlooking the pool, it was basic and the bathroom was a bit tired.

We had a wonderful week at Porto Kalamaki Maria and Andreas couldn’t do enough for us. We booked a one bed apartment (Room 210) overlooking the pool, it was basic and the bathroom was a bit tired. However the evening sunshine was beautiful, sat on the huge terrace. Bed was really comfortable, there was a fridge and enough crockery and cutlery, pans etc if you wanted to eat in. Don’t bother, the restaurant on site is so good with a good selection of food and very reasonably priced. There is also a supermarket on site, again reasonably priced with fresh bread each day. Maria, Andreas and all the other staff made our holiday … Andreas with his happy hour cocktails (€6.00) and Maria being so professional and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble.

We stayed here in October 2025. We had a 1 bed superior apartment on the first floor of a small block above the kitchens. Unfortunately, the first night was quite noisy due to being very close to the main road which was very busy even until 4am. We did ask to move the following day and Maria on reception could not have been more helpful but did not have a comparable apartment for us to move to. Over the next 10 days of our stay we stayed put and did get used to the road noise. Make sure you shut and lock the patio doors at night to reduce the noise to a minimum. We had a lovely holiday in this small resort. A special message and shout out to Andreas, Maria and Stelios who worked the bar and restaurant – they were always helpful and very friendly. The food was excellent on site – we had a few lunches and most of our evening meals here. The food was very good quality and reasonably priced in comparison to other restaurants in the area. Our maid Maria was also very friendly and helpful. We had a room clean every day except Sunday and towels and sheets were changed every 3 days. The two ladies in the shop (unfortunately I cannot remember their names) were fabulous. The shop opened at 7.30am and closed at 11.30pm every day. We arrived quite late – 11.00pm on our first evening and were able to pop in for water, milk, wine and even Gluten Free bread!! I needed an onion one day and they did not have any in the shop – the lady shopkeeper went to the kitchen for me and got me one – now that is service. The shop stocked all the usual food and drink items as well as towels, blow up lilos, scarves, jelly shoes and postcard and the prices were very reasonable. We went into Chania by the local bus on a number of occasions. The bus stop was nearby and you could get bus tickets at a nearby supermarket for 1.60 euro each way instead of 2.50 on the bus. The buses ran every 15 minutes and took about 25 minutes to get into the centre. Please note if you eat or drink in and around the harbour you are charged more for the privilege. We also did one of the trips on the little Red (road) Train which took us to seven inland villages in the mountains and we stopped at two for half an hour stops for drinks and a bite to eat. Very touristy but impressive views and nice to see a bit of rural life. Maria at reception organised the tickets with pick up and drop off outside hotel. Lots of other trips were available. If you turn right out of the hotel and walk about 10 – 12 minutes you will come across the first of a few sandy beaches – they all will rent you sunbeds for approx. 10 euros per day including the shade of an umbrella. Please note the pool is not heated, pool towels are not provided and the air conditioning is charged separately at between 7 and 9 euros per day. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Porto Kalamaki Hotel and would definately consider going back there.
