“Danaos Hotel's location opposite the beach in Chania is its biggest draw, in my opinion. I think the recent refurbishment ensures a clean, comfortable stay, and the bar's popularity with locals suggests a lively atmosphere. For a straightforward, well-located base from which to explore, it's a smart choice.”
