Historic Venetian Building

Scala de Faro occupies a 15th-century Venetian building directly opposite the Old Port Lighthouse. The structure features an arched stone staircase with floral patterns and a built-in fountain. The hotel spans three floors with 9 rooms and suites, some facing the sea and others overlooking the Old Town alleys and mountains.

Rooms with Views

Accommodations include Queen and King size beds with Cocomat mattresses. Rooms feature 43-inch smart TVs, minibars, L'Occitane toiletries, espresso machines, and private balconies. The Premium Sea View Suite offers direct views of the Old Port Lighthouse, while other rooms face the Old City or mountains.

Breakfast and Accessibility

Breakfast is served daily from 8:00 to 11:00. The hotel provides a stair chair lift, elevator, and mobility-friendly room accommodations for guests with impairments.

Central Harbor Location

The hotel sits at the Old Venetian Harbour, steps from the Nautical Museum of Chania at the Firka Fortress entrance. It's 15 km from Souda and surrounded by al fresco restaurants and cafes lining the waterfront.

Local Exploration Options

Guests can take guided Segway tours through the city's back alleys. Nearby beaches like Loutraki offer shallow waters and fine sand for families. The area features shops selling local souvenirs and traditional Cretan dishes including moussaka and dolmades.

“Staying here places you squarely in Chania's Old Town, inside a beautifully maintained, historically significant building-the location is hard to beat, and the staff clearly aims to please. I especially appreciate the thoughtful touch of providing packed breakfasts for early departures; it speaks to a level of service that prioritizes the guest experience.”
