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.

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!

Arrived early but they couldn’t have been any nicer getting us into our room. Came back after an hour walking about to find our room ready and our luggage in the room! This was still much earlier than check in time. The room (rooms!) we’re great! Only needing a single room for one night it was a whole apartment! Large master, kitchen with dining area, and a smaller bedroom all over looking the ocean! The hotel is directly on the beach. Beach bar next door although couldn’t hear them at night. Staff could not have been more helpful. Family run, mom, son and uncle. Wasn’t sure if we would be able to ferry out in the morning because of weather and they said to come back and they would have a room for us. Would definitely go back! Sorry we only had one night there!

nice place, good breakfast. great value for money.
I love Palaiochora - have visited several times. There is a very long sandy beach on the west side of the village - the sunbeds and umbrellas do not dominate the beach due to its size. There is a nudist area at the northern end but, sadly, it looks like the cantina there is not open this year. There is also a beach on the east side but it is stony and not to my liking. In the evening a couple of streets are closed off to traffic (but not to kids cycling at top speed through the pedestrians grrr) and the roads are occupied with tables and chairs for the various bars and cafes. There are many places to eat in the village and a wide selection of menus available. Agios bar is one to visit - definitely. If staying for more than a few days a ferry trip (40 minutes or so) to Sougia is worth trying. Gialiskari is another nice beach along the coast - about an hour's walk or 15 minutes by car.

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.
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!
Sifis Studios & Paleohora are the perfect base for a holiday in the beautiful West of Crete! The location of Sifis is right in front of the beach, around the corner of Paleohora's nightlife and perfect for tours to Loutro, Elfafonissi, Samaria Gorge... Panos and his sister who manage Sifis are very friendly and made us feel very welcome. They have cooperations f.e. for the beach, so you don't have to pay extra for a beach chair and a restaurant, so you can get a great price for a breakfast menu.
we had a fantastic stay at Irene’s studio, the apartment has new, cute design, there is everything that a 5* hotels have, even make up remover :) location is also perfect if you want to visit Samaria Gorge! you leave the car in Sougia, and take the 7 am bus to the park’s entry. at the end of the day, it will be really nice to find your car there and directly go back home and have a lovely meal in Palaiochora. hope to come back one day! :)
as far as we can judge best hotel in paleochora. located on the nice beach side of the city, just a few steps away from the beach, nice big parking place, restaurants, supermarket and bakery close by. staff super friendly. breakfast buffet nice. Pretty buildings, well maintained. Pool big enough and cleaned everyday. Rooms totally fine with a small balcony and kitchen part. we extended our stay for one night. thank you very much
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!
This was a wonderful, airy, serene and comfortable small resort on the edge of Paleochora. The property and the pool were beautiful and pristine and felt quintessentially Greek. The beach was just down a short lane and the town an easy walk, either along the beach or by the road. Our hostess was very gracious and so helpful. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here on the south of Crete.
Very pleasant place to stay. Quiet and relaxing. It was clean and the garden was very private. The hike to the beach via the wonderful Anidri gorge is just wonderful. To be that close, just a few minutes walk, to one of the absolute best tavernas in Crete, Sto Scolio, was very much appreciated.
A big thank you to the friendly hosts, Simone and Christos, who made our stay a real pleasure.
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.
The hotel is brand new and the interior design is very modern. There is plenty of space, a lot of amenities like a kitchen and a coffee machine and large beds. Everything was very fresh and clean and kept in good order. Only about 100m to the beautiful beach.
Very spacious, clean and airy apartment equipped with everything someone needs, also nice toiletries provided. There is a really nice view over Palaiochora and the sea. The owners are very kind and helpful. Thank you for everything!
The hotel is conveniently located near of two sided beaches, one side pebbled and the other side sandy.
It has a very nice swimming pool as well even if we did not use it.!!
The staff were very polite and really helpful.
house has everything we could need for long stay, including cooking necessities, coffee maker, coffee, sugar, juice, salt, tea, plus lots of space and proximity beaches, groceries and restaurants
Beautiful room in excellent position across from the beach. The bed was so comfortable and the shower room was a delight. A lovely, contemporary hotel. Stelios was welcoming and very helpful.
Large stunning property. Close to Palaiochora and very nice beaches. The best part about the property was the thoughtfulness of the kind hosts. They took care of us like we were family.
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.
Excellent accommodation.Great shower,clean,plenty of plug sockets,just across from the beach.Little things the owner has thought of, washing up sponge,rubbish bin bags,ect
Nice clean apartment with great location. Friendly owner who left a couple of beers and water in the fridge. If we return to palaiochora we will stay there again.
Nice choice for accommodation in Palaiochora, staff were friendly and polite, room was being cleaned every day, beds were massive but not very comfortable.
