Map & location
Kato Daratso, Crete (Chania Area), Greece
Tucked in the peaceful village of Kato Daratso on Crete’s north coast, Inea Sole puts you within easy reach of beaches, local tavernas, and buzzy Chania Town. Wander 300m down to the golden curve of Glaros Beach for swims in shallow, turquoise water and relaxed seafront cafés, or stroll 500m into the resort centre for traditional Greek tavernas and low-key bars.
Chania Town is roughly a 20-minute drive away, perfect for an afternoon exploring the pastel-hued Venetian harbour, browsing the indoor market, and lingering over dinner along the cobbled backstreets.

- Kato Daratso resort centre 500m
- Chania Town (Old Venetian Harbour) ~20 minutes’ drive

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel centres around a freshwater outdoor pool framed by sunbeds and parasols – perfectly scaled to the boutique size of the property, so it never feels hectic. Complimentary pool towels mean you can travel light, and the pool bar is just steps away when you’re ready for something cold.
When you’re craving sand between your toes, stroll around 300m down to the nearest beach. This stretch of coast is known for its clean, shallow waters and a choice of neighbouring bays like Glaros and Agii Apostoli, ideal for swimming and lazy seaside lunches.
Spa, sports & wellness
Stay active at the compact, air-conditioned gym, equipped with cardio machines and a free weights area and typically open from morning to early evening in the main season (hours can vary with occupancy).
Beyond the essentials, Inea Sole offers reception and concierge services, luggage storage, and the option to hire mobility scooters if required (local charge). The emphasis is on easy, unhurried days rather than organised entertainment – this is a place to truly switch off.

Food & drink
Wake up to a leisurely à la carte breakfast in the hotel restaurant, with a mix of international favourites and local Cretan flavours to ease you into the day. Later on, the same space offers relaxed daytime dining for breakfast and lunch during the main season, so you can keep things simple between beach and pool time.
The pool bar keeps refreshments close at hand from morning until early evening – think iced coffees, chilled drinks, and easy snacks in between dips.
