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!

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.

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.
Super clean apartment (looks just like the photos) with everything we needed for cooking, washing etc in order to enjoy our five day stay in Palaiochora. Well stocked with olive oil, fruit, salt, pepper, washing powder - everything thought of and provided for.
The hosts were amazing and went above and beyond at every opportunity to make our stay memorable, including dropping us off at the bus station and allowing us to spend time with their cats! Thank you!
All View is excellent value for money and felt personal.
Wonderful location near the ferry port, beautiful beach and restaurants. 10 minute walk to all. Clean and quiet room with all the bathroom amenities, water and sodas in the fridge. Margarita and Valentis were such caring and thoughtful hosts by making sure we had everything we needed when we requested it and made sure we had the perfect parking spot outside the property! Beautiful church next door and lovely to see the families there enjoying their Sunday. Really a magical spot for the perfect stay in Paleochora!
We loved the proximity to beaches and restaurants. At the same time, the hotel is on a quiet street, which made for excellent sleeping at night. The young man at reception, we didn’t catch his name, was very hospitable and made us feel at home. he gave us excellent restaurant recommendations. we appreciated that the kitchen was set up with coffee and juice. we enjoyed the complementary raki on arrival, and in the fridge!
We were countless times on Crete. After several years we discovered Paleochora on a day trip. Since then we relaxed there 4 times in a row. The last 3 holidays at the Nicolas Beach. For now we don't plan to change that habit for the coming years. Wonderful place with wonderful people. Who could ask for more. Special greetings to Pantelis, Odie and the owners family.
We arrived early so our baggage was looked after and we were given towels for use by the pool or on the beach. On departure the same offer plus shower facilities in the gym downstairs. Little things that make big difference. Superb breakfast - up there with the best. Also the most pleasant hotel staff you could wish for - nothing too much trouble.
Our hostess was absolutely fantastic! She made our stay exceptional! Proper Greek hospitality! She gave advice about the town, beaches and eating out and kept our room neat and tidy with daily cleaning. The property was very close to the beach and a short walk from everything in the town. We enjoyed our stay immensely!
Morpheas rooms is located on one of my favourite beaches outside Paleohora. These are basic rooms like most on the south of Crete. Everything is operational, the owner was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. There were a few games for the kids to play with outside. I recommend!
The apartment was spacious and spotlessly clean. The balcony was huge, with a fantastic view, and plenty of seating options. The location was extremely central; easy to walk to shops, restaurants, and the beaches. The host, Nancy, was extremely helpful before and during our stay.
Love the location by the beach and by Paleochora. The room itself was great and had a drying rack. The hosts even found me a bucket so I could wash clothes in the shower. They also helped me verify that my ferry wasn't cancelled. So nice! Wish I could have stayed longer.
Everything was great! Right beside the beach with very spacious rooms that were spotless. The staff were wonderful, always friendly and ready to help. Its a great hotel that I cannot wait to stay at again.
near to an amazing town centre, and just a few
miles to a
beautiful beach with plenty of tree shade
if required. Good choice of hotel with
parking for a few cars. Would definitely
stay there again.
Everything was perfect. The hotel is located in the center of Palaiochora and it is very convenient and well equiped. The staff was very kind and helpful. Would definetely visit them again.
We loved the family that operates the hotel — genuinely very kind and sweet people. We also love that they offered e-bikes and had a fantastic time staying here.
Small hotel in a great location. 5 min walking to center and beach. Spectacular view from every room. Easy free parking. Good breakfast and great staff.
