Location
Leptos Panorama Hotel sits on a gentle hillside above the coast in Stalos, just west of Chania. From here you’re close enough to dip into the tavernas, cafés and sandy stretches of the resort, yet far enough away to enjoy a relaxed, panoramic vantage point over the bay.
A small pebble beach is only a short stroll downhill, ideal for a quiet swim before breakfast. When you’re ready for more buzz, the bars and restaurants of Stalos are a walk or short taxi ride away, while the harbourfront lanes of Chania’s old town are within easy reach for day trips or evenings out.
