Overview

 
Perched on a Cretan hillside above Aghia Marina, Theo Hotel pairs classic Greek hospitality with widescreen views of the sparkling Cretan Sea. With three pools, a relaxed All Inclusive option and roomy studios and apartments, it’s a laid-back base for couples and families who want beach days, tavernas and Chania’s Venetian charm all within easy reach.

From its hillside vantage point, Theo Hotel serves up big blue sea views, a choice of indoor and outdoor pools and a genuinely friendly, family-run atmosphere. Wander down to the sandy beach in minutes, linger over Greek and international dishes by the pool, then retreat to your private balcony or terrace to soak up the sunset over the Cretan coast. For couples and families seeking Crete (Chania Area)’s blend of beach life and old-town character, Theo Hotel delivers a relaxed home-from-home. It’s around 1 hour from Chania Airport (CHQ) and about 300m from the golden sands of Aghia Marina. See more Greece holidays.

Map & location


Aghia Marina – Chania, Crete (Chania Area), Greece

Theo Hotel is tucked into the hillside above Aghia Marina, one of Chania’s most popular beach resorts. From the second you sink your toes into the wide, sandy shore lined with pastel parasols and beach bars, you’ll see why it’s a favourite with both locals and visitors.

The hotel’s elevated setting means big sea views, but you’re still just a short walk from the sand, seafront tavernas and low-key nightlife. Chania’s gorgeous Venetian harbour, old town alleyways and museums are an easy day trip away, so you can mix lazy pool days with culture and coastline exploring.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Theo Hotel makes cooling off easy with an outdoor freshwater pool that comes with a children’s section, plus an additional outdoor pool and a handy indoor pool where inflatables and water toys are permitted – great for younger families or on breezy days. There’s a dedicated sunbathing area with sunbeds and parasols, and baby-changing facilities nearby.

Down the hill, Aghia Marina’s sandy beach stretches along the coast with space to spread out, try watersports or simply stroll between beach bars and tavernas. It’s ideal for classic lazy Greek-island days.

Spa, sports & wellness


Keep active in the on-site gym, equipped with cardio machines, free weights and fixed-strength equipment (minimum age 14 years, typically open 08:00–20:00). In high season, occasional evening entertainment brings live music and DJ sets on selected nights between July and September for a low-key, sociable vibe.

For everyday convenience, there’s an on-site mini-market for snacks and essentials, plus a 24-hour-style reception offering luggage storage and local information. Mobility scooter, pushchair and wheelchair hire are available for a charge, subject to availability.
