Location & surroundings
Alexia Beach Hotel occupies a beachfront position in Agia Marina, a developed coastal resort west of Chania and immediately east of Platanias. The surroundings are primarily resort-oriented, with sandy beaches, independent restaurants, beach bars, supermarkets and tourist services along the main coastal road. Agia Marina is served by KTEL Chania-Rethymnon buses on routes linking Chania with Platanias, Gerani and Kolymvari. Chania city centre is approximately 10 kilometres from the hotel, while Chania International Airport is approximately 25 kilometres away by published map distance. A rental car is useful for exploring western Crete, but it is not essential for beach days or trips along the Agia Marina-Platanias corridor.

Local travel tips
- For beach days, no transport is required because Alexia Beach Hotel stands directly on the sandy Agia Marina coastline.
- KTEL buses connect Agia Marina with Chania and Platanias along the coastal corridor, making a rental car unnecessary for these common journeys.
- Guests planning regular trips into Chania's Old Venetian Harbour should allow for the approximately 10-kilometre separation between Agia Marina and central Chania.
- Free private hotel parking makes a rental car practical for day trips to inland villages, western Crete and beaches beyond the regular resort bus corridor.
- In July and August, the Agia Marina-Platanias coastal strip becomes particularly busy, so allow extra time for road journeys and consider buses for short resort-to-resort trips.
What to know before booking
- The hotel is in Agia Marina rather than central Chania; Chania city centre is approximately 10 kilometres away.
- A designated beach area is listed for hotel guests, while beach loungers and umbrellas may involve separate charges depending on current arrangements.
- Airport shuttle service is available but is not confirmed as complimentary; charges and booking arrangements should be checked directly before travel.
- Pets are not permitted under the current accommodation policy.
Best time to visit
Late spring through early autumn is the main period for beach-focused stays in Agia Marina. July and August are typically the hottest and busiest months, with heavier demand across the Agia Marina-Platanias resort strip. May, June, September and early October often suit travellers combining swimming with sightseeing around Chania. Winter is quieter and wetter, and some seasonal beach businesses may operate reduced hours or close. Road traffic can increase noticeably during peak summer evenings.
