Isla Brown Chania

Focused on redefining the guest’s experience, Liakos Associates Architects (LAA) take

an existing hotel building and transform it into a contemporary 5-star resort

hotel, characterized by a sense of easygoing luxury.

The hotel is located in the peninsula of Akrotiri at a distance of 14km from Chania city center and 10km from the airport, near the famous village and beach of Stavros, where Zorba the Greek movie was filmed. Most of Akrotiri beaches are protected from the strong north winds of summer and are located in a short distance from the city, like Marathi and Kalathas beach.

The area is also famous for its long history and heritage like the ancient city of Kydonia, the monasteries like Gouverneto, Agia Triada and Paxinos and the toms of Eleutherios Venizelos. Guests have the opportunity not only to visit the nearby beaches, but also to experience the spirited tradition and the depth of culture through their visit at the Old Town of Chania.
