Iason Studios is a small family business and includes five studios in
a two-storey building with
private bathroom, kitchen facilities, and balcony.
The building was renovated originally in 1999 and then in 2005 and is
situated on the west side of
the old town, in the quiet area of "Topanas", with no traffic, just a
few meters from the old
Venetian harbour where you can find most of the historical sites of
the city of Hania as well as
many places for entertainment.
A major pole of attraction is the old city, with the old Venetian
harbour. On the west side, the
castle of Firkas, where the Naval Museum lies.(This is the area of
IASON STUDIOS.) On the opposite
side of the harbour, the Venetian arsenals (shipyards) of the 16th
century. There are also other
Museums, Exhibitions, Nightlife and Shops. The town never stops to
amaze you!
As an alternative you may take day excursions to the unique Samaria
Gorge (the biggest in Europe),
Kournas Lake, exotic beaches of Elafonisi, Falassarna, Gramvoussa,
Balos (where you can take a mini
cruise, too). Sail South Crete by Ferry (Chora Sfakion, Agia Roumeli,
Sougia). Explore unspoiled
villages around Chania, eat their local produce. Of course a visit to
Knossos, Archaeological
Heraklion Museum is a must. All these and even more make Hania
unforgettable.
On the other hand if you prefer to have a break in Hania in
wintertime, you have one more reason to
come to our studios, as we alone in the whole old town offer central
heating.
As a matter of fact, November to March rates are negotiable-according
to number of persons and
length of stay- because it's quite often to have longer renters
during winter time.So we have a
different arrangement in that case, with a major 50% discount per
month.This is a usual policy for
us, since there are many people -like arists from abroad or even many
Greeks - that choose to stay
in Hania for the wintertime.
The units are in the same building, so they're ideal for a group of
friends or families.
Nevertheless, they may be let out separately, as each unit has all
the necessary equipment -even
hair dryers- to make your stay most comfortable.
It is important to mention that you will be provided with any kind of
information you may need, as
the owners know so many details about the prefecture of Hania and
West Crete in general. So, you can
easily find your way to sunny beaches, clear waters, very busy or
isolated places, and even high
mountains with a breathtaking view.
Since the studios have been restored by the owners themselves, they
have warmth, relaxed atmosphere,
nothing like impersonal hotel rooms. So, you'll find have everything
to make you feel at home: a
friendly - family atmosphere!
