Nostos Hotel

In the charming Topanas district and a 2-minute walk from the Nautical Museum of Crete, this down-to-earth hotel in a 15th-century building is a 6-minute walk from the Old Venetian Harbor.


Low-key rooms feature wood floors and minifridges; some add TVs, sleeping lofts or exposed wood beams. Upgraded quarters add kitchenettes and living areas. There's also a loft-style family room with a balcony.

Amenities include a cafe with nautical wall art and a cobblestone terrace, as well as a garden terrace with hanging grape vines and sea views. There's also a cozy sitting area with an antique phonograph.
