アギア・マリーナ のベスト LGBTQ+フレンドリーなホテル

Hotels in Agia Marina, Crete: an honest 2026 guide

The honest summary: Agia Marina, the beach resort about 9 km west of Chania, has no gay hotels. None of the hotels here markets itself to LGBTQ+ guests or holds an LGBTQ+ certification that we could find, and earlier versions of this page that said otherwise were wrong. What the strip does have is a good choice of mainstream beach hotels, some of them adults-only, which is the most useful filter if you want a quiet pool. Greek law has protected same-sex couples since civil partnerships in 2015 and marriage in 2024.

Adults-only

• Thalassa Beach Resort & Spa: on Agia Marina's main street, a few minutes' walk from the beach. Spa with an indoor pool and outdoor hot tub, an à la carte restaurant and a beach tavern. Rated 9.5 by Booking guests.
• Evexia Boutique Hotel & Spa: 29 rooms about 50 m from the beach, spa with indoor pool and a rooftop breakfast terrace facing Thodorou islet. Closed from about November to April.



On the sea

• Vergina Beach Resort: four-star, 35 units with kitchenettes, some with a private pool or jacuzzi, plus a private beach area, spa and gym.
• Elia Agia Marina Hotel: four-star beachfront hotel with 35 rooms, a beach bar and a steam bath. Closed in winter.

Apartments and smaller places

• Perla Beach: three-star aparthotel with 19 studios and apartments, about 100 m from the beach on the Stalos side.
• Elotis Suites: 20 studios and suites in a garden on the Stalos–Agia Marina beach road, with a pool.
• Like Home Apartments: owner-run apartments with kitchens and sea-view balconies.
• Oscar Suites & Village: a family-oriented apartment hotel with two pools and a gym, 200 m from the beach.
• Secret Garden Hotel: a small three-star hotel in Maleme, about 8 km further west and quieter.



Practical notes

• Season: most hotels open from about April to October. Check dates if you're travelling in spring or late autumn.
• Nights out: the queer nightlife, such as it is, is in Chania's old town, 15 minutes away: the Apollo Party club night in summer and gay-friendly bars such as Ababa. Buses stop running before the parties end, so budget for a taxi back, or stay in Chania if you plan to go out most nights. See our Agia Marina guide for details.
• Getting there: Chania airport (CHQ) is about 26 km away, around half an hour by taxi.
