Our take
Kronos scores 8.5 from more than 2,800 reviews, an impressive volume for a two-star. It sits 200 metres from the city centre and 700 metres from the port, with the airport about 5 km away. Many rooms have balconies facing the sea, and the lounge bar offers wide views over the Cretan Sea. Rooms are simple, so I would book it for location and views rather than for facilities.
- ✓Book a sea-view room to make the most of the hotel's prime location and enjoy the Cretan Sea vistas.
- ✓Take advantage of the hotel's proximity to the port for easy ferry connections to other islands.
- ✓Spend an evening at the lounge bar; the panoramic sea views are a perfect backdrop for a relaxing drink.
