Hara
The unique and elegant villa is situated in the historical industrial district of Tabakaria, in a quiet cove, with a private pool and right next to the sea. Being a former tannery, it is a preserved building that was renovated in 2023 under the Greek regulations of the architectural composition of the first industrial buildings of the area, providing all modern comforts for an unforgettable stay.
Dear guests, welcome to Hippocampo Villa! I’m Hara, your hostess, and I’m so happy to have you here. I truly enjoy meeting people from all over the world and making sure that every guest feels comfortable, relaxed, and perfectly taken care of. Some of my interests and hobbies are travelling, exercising, hiking, watching films and performing arts, and playing board games like Scrabble, puzzles, and crosswords, which always inspire me to connect with others and share good moments. I hope your stay with us will be a wonderful and unforgettable experience. If you need anything at all, please feel free to reach out — I’m always here to help!
Our villa is located in Tabakaria, one of the most atmospheric seaside neighborhoods of Chania, known for its historic 19th-century tanneries and impressive architecture. The Tabakaria district flourished during the interwar period. Although the tanneries paused during the German Occupation, they revived strongly after the war. From the 1970s onward, activity gradually declined, and today only a small number remain in operation. Many of the original buildings are now abandoned or have been restored for new uses—just like our villa. What remains unchanged is the striking industrial architecture and the dramatic seaside setting, with buildings entering from the road and cascading down toward the water. Within a short walk, guests can visit the Archaeological Museum of Chania and the Eleftherios Venizelos Residence Museum, as well as dine at excellent Mediterranean restaurants such as Periplous and Blue. For swimming, just 400 meters east lies the charming natural cove of Kouloura Beach, while about 1 km west you can visit Koum Kapi Beach, with a small sandy beach surrounded by cafés and restaurants, both easily accessible on foot. Walking west from Koum Kapi Beach, you will reach the Old Venetian Harbour and the Old Town of Chania!
