Fully Renovated Venetian Building Located On The Western-
Side Of The Old Town Of Chania, A Few Meters From The Old
Harbor's Edge, Blending Perfectly Into A Beautiful
Neighborhood Of Similarly Restored And Decorated Venetian
Buildings In Cobblestone Lanes.
Our Hotel, An Imposing, Tall, 600 Year Old Building, Has
Gathered A Rich History Over The Passing Of The Centuries.
During The Days Of Turkish Rule, The Building Housed
Members Of High Ranking Turkish Military Who Made
Many Changes To The Building's Architecture - A Hamam-
In The Garden And Next To That, A Room To Secure Their
Slaves -where You Can Still See The Metallic Rings Nailed
To The Walls-. In The Beginning Of The 19th Century, The
Building Was Used As A French Embassy And Later Was
Inhabited By The Great Greek Political Figure, Eleftherios
Venizelos, Who Also Used It As His Political Offices Until
His Move To Athens, When He Took Power As Prime
Minister Of Greece. |
