Great room, great breakfast, free parking, and great staff. We met people that return year after year. That in itself says it all.

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.
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.
Beautiful villa on a nice location with sea view. Close to the beach, restaurant and the centre of Palaiochora, but still very quiet. The property was built with high quality materials, has a very nice swimming pool and has all the comfort you need, and more! Tony is a very friendly host, and we felt very welcome. Don’t hesitate to book here, you will not regret it.
New and modern, very clean and well located. Just a few steps from the beach and all the restaurants, cafes and a big supermarket. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and always ready to answer your questions. Appreciated that they had free parking space.
Everything! Maria is a super host, friendly, helpful and smiling. Stayed in 2 types of rooms and both were amazing. Great value for money. Place is literally on the beach, close to everything.
Rooms were very clean and comfortable.
I'll definitely come back!
It was recently built with a high standard of finishes. Shower worked well and shower/WC room was a good size. Bedding and towels (no beach towels) were changed regularly and rooms were kept clean.
Everything! The place is close to the beach , the owner of the hotel was amazingly helpful and friendly ! Beautiful area to explore. The room was very spacious and clean , very cool vibes!
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!
Fantastic personnel. The apartments are exactly in the heart of Palaiochora city, close to everything, beach-restaurants-shops-bars.
The room was quite comfortable and very spacious!
Comfortable, modern, clean, well equipped apartment right at the beginning of the beach. All is accessible on foot. A great base for exploring southwest Crete. Worth coming back for.
Very nice, clean apartments in the center of the city. 3 minutes from the sandy beach, close to restaurants and a supermarket. Very hospitable hostess. Perfect for a couple.
Best breakfast in Palaiochora! We are visiting Manto for years, there is not much left to say. We like the place and always recommend to our friends! See you soon :-)
nice and clean, ample space, nice view, a little bit out of town but the walk home was a pleasure. near the nudist section of the sandy beach if that’s you thing
The facility and the staff were just perfect. Clean and quiet rooms, perfect on the edge of paleochora, 2 minutes walk from stony beach! A wonderful vaccation!
Excellent location and price. Very friendly staff. Private beach. Very quiet and close to the center, no need to drive there. Would definitely visit again.
