Alkion
About
Alkion, on Crete, sits on Main Street in Exopoli, a village within the Chania regional unit on the island's western side. First-time visitors should expect a hotel base in a quiet inland setting rather than a coastal strip, with the address 730 08 placing it near Chania. The property maintains a website at http://www.alkionapartments.gr/ for those planning a stay.
Guests rate Alkion at 4.9 out of 5, a figure drawn from 175 reviews that reflects consistently strong feedback. The hotel's position makes it a practical starting point for exploring the island's better-known towns, with Chania, Rethymno and Heraklion all within reach. Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi also lie further afield for day trips.
Exopoli sits close to Chania, the main city on this part of Crete, so the hotel works well for visitors who want to combine village calm with access to a larger town. Chania and Rethymno are the nearest of the nearby places, while Heraklion anchors the island's eastern side.
Greek is the everyday language on Crete, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus. Tavernas serve late into the evening, and daily life slows in the afternoon. The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, so travellers relying on sea crossings should build in some flexibility.
