Great room, great breakfast, free parking, and great staff. We met people that return year after year. That in itself says it all.
Located 328 feet away from Grammeno beach, Megim offers free transportation around the area and free sun beds and umbrellas on the beach.

We liked the fact it was away from the main town and within walking distance to Grammeno Beach which is sandy. The local beach is just a few minutes walk away across the road with a lovely cafe/ staff but it's pebble beach but also beautiful.The water is crystal clear.
The breakfast was generous and wonderful and the two ladies who did the breakfast and cleaned our rooms we're so lovely.
The garden is beautiful. People took the breakfast out on a tray and sat under the vine. I enjoyed watching the goats on the rocks behind the house.
There are quite a few restaurants to eat in nearby within walking distance if you didn't fancy driving into Paleochora town including one in the campsite which is nearby.
Casbah Boutique Hotel provides rooms with free WiFi in Palaiochora, conveniently located a 4-minute walk from Pachia Ammos and 600 yards from Halikia Beach.

The place is beautiful, designed and finished to a really high standard. The bed was super comfy, and all the staff that I met were really friendly and accommodating. I love the little touches, like some olive oil, washing up liquid and kitchen roll given to me which meant that I didn't have to buy these items - always an issue of waste when travelling for a short time if you want to cook.
I loved my time here and will definitely be back!

The owner and her trusty cleaner Katarina were wonderful. So friendly and welcoming. The room was adequate. Comfy beds, great shower, a little tight in the kitchen area but I used it mostly for coffee and breakfast. It was the location that I really enjoyed. A 7-8 min walk into town to catch the free shuttle to the beach and situated at the edge of town making the return 4km walk a bit shorter.

If you are looking for a small laid back beach town in Crete, this is a greatchoice. Many of the more full service touristy options are on the north side of the island, Palaiochora is on the south. You can drive from Palaichora to Chania in less than 1.5 hours : drive to Heraklion is closer to 3.5 hours.
Plenty of beaches, good food, good people. Not really a party crowd, at least when we were there at the end of the season. There are many options for boat trips, hiking and outdoor activities. Ebikes and similar are easy to rent.

Lovely relaxed seaside town - really chill atmosphere in the evenings with lots of restaurants along the sea front and in main and back streets serving great food and generous extras (bread, olives, small desserts and raki).
We enjoyed a good balance of some hiking (Aghia Irina Gorge was lovely and very quiet), hiring a car to explore the area and a couple of days of swimming, snorkelling and reading on the beach.
I expect Paleochora is heaving n high season, but in Kate September was wonderfully laid back - a few days here and a few in Chania& Rethymno was a really nice balance.
I would stay right in the town next time - lots of small studios advertised along the road from town to harbour looked nice, quiet and close to everything

Palauochora is lovely low key resort with great food and beaches. We really like the vibe of the town which is authentic and friendly. Highly recommended for 3-4 days or longer. Really like the fact that it can be easily accessed by a very efficient bus and ferry service. We’ll definitely be back

Pretty little town with a chilled vibe but still has some action. Excellent cocktail bar in the middle of town. Amazing sunrises on one side and the most stunning sunsets on the other side.
Sandy beaches for those who like that but rocky beaches on the ither side that offer great snorkelling opportunities.

What a lovely place this is.
What a lovely place this is. It has lots going on in the harbour town. With a very friendly vibe. Soooo many places to eat, either on the harbour front or in the lovely little narrow streets of the town.
The town beach near the harbour is pebbles but across town is a wonderful wide stretch of beach that is lovely and sandy. It did get a bit windy and this makes the sand blow around. So use the edge near the Castel.
The ferry comes into the main harbour , so although we didn't venture that far ypu could take day trips from there. Next time we will🙂
We will revisit- its one of those places that you want to return to.
We are thrilled to have discovered this beautiful little hotel and are already planning to stay here for our visit next year. The location is perfect, right in the heart of town but still quiet, just a quick walk to the beach.
This property is brand new and absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean, artfully decorated and well thought out. The king size beds are plush and comfortable and the huge showers are a real luxury.
The host, Sovula, is a real gem! She made us feel so welcome and had great suggestions for dining and activities.
Very clean and convenient to beach across the street. Room was updated. The breakfast was good. Eggs, yogurt, pastries, and the view while eating is amazing. kitchen in room is nice with all amenities you would need to cook. rooftop terrace overlooking beach. we watched the sunset from hotel and it was beautiful. George the receptionist gave several dinner recommendations and was always available to help with anything we needed. overall would recommend and return here.
Check-in was easy and efficient. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. They were very knowledgeable about the hotel, local interests, and listened well in both Greek and English so that they were able to make satisfying recommendations for us. The hotel is conveniently located next to a lovely cafe that is open for breakfast and lunch, and it is also across from the beach. Want to shop or see a castle.... just a few minutes walk away.
Small comfortable unpretentious hotel right opposite the sandy beach. Room had all the usual amenities and good wifi. Excellent and plentiful breakfast. Helpful staff. Private parking. Five minutes walk across the main street to the other side of the peninsula with pebbly beach, ferries, and most of the restaurants on the ‘promenade’.
This place has special vibes… if you need restart your mind, power - it is very good place. For living there are good comfortable room that includes small kitchen with everything, big balcony, nice view, nice mattress for sleeping. The villa for 5 minutes from Palaiochora by car. Perfect sand beach 3 min walk.
Wifi was the fastest we had on the entire trip.
Location was nice, across the road from a beach (which was windy while we were there).
Probably the only place on Crete where people actually wore masks.
Breakfast was included, boiled eggs, yogurt, coffee tea fairly typical of Crete breakfasts.
We loved everything about Paleoichora and Margarita studios. Situated in a beautiful and quiet part of the village, just a few minutes from cristal clear water beach. Our studio was super clean and bed was very comfortable. The owner was very kind and helpful and made our stay extra special.
Wish we had more than one night at this awesome property. So much space, beautiful beach view, and the decor was just right – simple and nice. We really wanted more time to enjoy everything here, both the property itself and the surrounding area. Can't wait to come back!"
The hotel has its own almost private beach. Katerina who was an excellent host gave us water bottles, sunbeds and an umbrella to take with us at the beach. The balconies have a great view and the location is really quite. Would definitely go there again
Very nice pool
Super clean
Full-service hotel (bar, food, gym, etc) but with a personalized touch
Well located - on a small street - close to the center.
Dozens of restaurants and 5-10 mins walk to a nice beach
Very good breakfast buffet
Breakfast was very enjoyable, with a wide range of options. I found all aspects of our stay in Aris Hotel to be very satisfactory. There was a shower gel dispenser in the shower cubicle. Staff were very friendly and obliging.
Supremely cool dude (Stelios?) taking care of us at the hotel. This is the hotel that Pal was missing, one step up from everything else, room-wise. Short way to The Palm restaurant and it is right on the beach, just perfect.
Lovely room, right next to the sea. Excellent hospitality, Michael provided us with a wealth of local knowledge and suggestions to maximise our time in Palaiochora. We would definitely come back.
Thank you!
Amazing staff! We extended our stay because we loved the service and location. Walking distance to both beaches and a short walk to the center of town. Best place to stay in Paleochora!
