Parados Sorvolou is a narrow alley off Sorvolou Street, and it is easy to miss if you do not know what you are looking for. Here is how to find it.

From Splantzia Square, walk toward the corner where Authentico Gelato and Maridaki’s Taverna face each other — one on each side. Take the street between them heading away from the square. This will lead you to a small square with the Byzantine church of Saint Irini and the restaurant The Well of the Turk. At the end of that square, to the right, you will see Ionas Boutique Hotel on the corner. Parados Sorvolou is the alley that runs alongside the back of it. 

The street/lane directedly in front is Sorbolou. Turn right and in 10 yards you will see Parados Sorbolou (parados = side street / alley)

The building is number 14. Look for the potted plants and the green door.

Parados Sorvolou is a pedestrian lane — it is physically too narrow for cars to enter. Do not attempt to drive in.

Parking in the surrounding Old Town area is strictly regulated. Most street spaces are reserved for residents with permits. Vehicles parked without a valid permit are fined and licence plates are removed by the municipality. Retrieving your plates requires a trip to the traffic authority and a fine payment — it is not a quick process.

The safest option is the municipal car park on Apokoronou Street, approximately five minutes on foot from the studios. Paid parking is available there without restriction.

We will send you a parking map with your check-in instructions showing the permitted areas closest to the studios.

Chania Airport (CHQ) is approximately 20 minutes by taxi. The taxi rank is outside the arrivals hall. Agree the fare before you get in or confirm the meter is running. Ask to be driven to Maridakis' Taverna on Daskalogianni Street. Public transport is also a good and economical solution. The KTEL bus also runs from the airport to the city centre — get off at the central bus station and it is a 15-minute walk or a short taxi ride to Splantzia.

Ferries arrive at Souda Port, approximately 20 minutes by taxi from the studios. There is no also public bus connection from Souda to the center of town. Get off at the Agora (central market) and you are at the top of Splantzia.

Studio Petra is on the ground floor — direct laneway access, original limestone walls, a cool tiled floor, and a room that wears its history on every surface. Studio Lithos is on the second floor — timber floors, salmon pink wall, a staircase full of objects that tell a story, and a stone alcove that that connects with the old world. Both sleep two. Both have private bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens with Airfryer and Espresso Machine, air conditioning, and free WiFi.

Each studio accommodates two guests. We do not offer additional beds or sofa beds.

Yes. Both studios have air conditioning.

Yes. Free WiFi is available in both studios.

The washing machine, iron, and ironing board are in the shared hallway between the two studios, available to guests of both.

Yes. Splantzia is the vibe of Old Town. A combination of a residential neighourbood in the little laneways and full of restaurants, bistros, cafes and bars on the main walkways. It is quiet yet alive, well-lit, and populated by people who live there year-round. We have never had a guest raise a safety concern.

Less than 5 minutes away on foot. The walk takes you through some of the most characterful streets in the Old Town.

Several of the best restaurants in Chania are within a two-minute walk. Kouzina EPE and Maridaki's Taverna are both on the square. The Well of the Turk is at the end of our lane. For a fuller guide to where we eat, see the Splantzia & Chania page. Everything is right outside your door.

Yes. Between us we speak English, Greek, Italian, and French.

Yes. The Greek government applies an accommodation tax of €8 per night during high season (€2 per night low season), which is added to your booking total. This is a government levy, not a fee set by us.
