Casa Delfino promises a tranquil sanctuary in the heart of the Old Town of Chania!
The alluring Old Town of Chania is a fascinating place, no matter which season you might choose to visit. Watching the sun rise and set over the beautiful Venetian Harbor can be as different in summer as it is in winter, almost like being in a different place on every visit.
After four centuries of Venetian rule and long sieges, a wide variety of architectural styles remain, reflecting the strong cultural influence of the Venetian and Ottoman civilizations without losing its distinctive characteristics.
From the crumbling ruins to the colorful painted alleyways; everywhere you explore, you’ll discover a melting pot of cultures.
The Venetian Harbor is the city’s main sea promenade. Walking past old buildings that have countless stories to recount, and through the colorful cafes, shops and restaurants, it feels like you have entered a film set of an all-time classic period piece movie.
Casa Delfino is located in the heart of the Old Town.

Crete is not just a destination for its breathtaking landscapes and historical sites but also a haven for food enthusiasts. Cretan olive oil is more than just an ingredient; it’s the cornerstone of Cretan cuisine, renowned for its exceptional quality. The emphasis on seasonal produce, aromatic herbs, and the island’s liquid gold – olive oil – defines the essence of Cretan dishes and each bite tells a story of tradition, passed down through generations, creating a culinary tapestry that reflects the island’s heritage. The island was once home to the Minoan civilization, one of the earliest civilizations in Europe. If food fills the soul, music comes from the heart in Crete. You hear it in the three-stringed Cretan lyra that sets the mood of dances in the island’s many feasts and festivals and in the heart-rending sonnets known as mantinades, conveying messages of love and sorrow, that resonate in mountain villages.
Cretan hospitality – you aren’t going to find anything like it anywhere else. The Cretan people are electric. Loud, voracious, personable – like you’ve known them all your life. They preserve their traditions – their symbols, their enthusiasm for their culture, and their patriotism for their island. Their weddings and baptisms are full of life, often lasting for days, as do the vibrant, lively festivals.
