The property was located at the edge of the village but close to everything and had ample parking available. The breakfast was simple but nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would stay there again

Excellent hotel, with very good taste in decoration and comfortable rooms in the heart of Paleochora. The location is great, just one step away from the restaurants and bars, but at the same time calm and quiet. The bed was super comfortable, the kitchen very well equipped, the bathroom very comfortable and clean. The communication with the properly was excellent and smooth, they are very kind and helpful with everything. We loved our stay and we would absolutely come back!

Location was excellent and staff very accommodating
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.
first of all: the owner maria is one of the most wonderful persons that we met during our 3 weeks in crete. thanks to her we felt like home. she also makes the best cookies and walnut liquore and printed the recipe so we can make them at home. she also speaks perfect english. the rooms are perfectly clean, VERY comfortable beds, good shower, perfect position on the beach and next to the center with many tavernas and coffees. if i come to paleochora again, i will definitively come to ostria rooms!! thank you again maria❤️
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 already had a booking for 2 weeks in Rethymno and went to Palaiochóra to see friends for a night. We wanted something easy and inexpensive. Niki Rooms were perfect. The room was a great size with a balcony and was clean and comfortable. It was a few minutes walk to the beach and to the main are for restaurants and bars. Olivia (Hostess) was super sweet and kind. I also loved the communal kitchen. Last point.... we drove there and it was easy to park
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.
got a bit lost following google maps… called hotel he was more than helpful, went out of his way to come and find us, very friendly. perfectly situated between harbour and beach, beautiful trees and flowers around apartment gave off amazing smell. cozy room. would definitely recommend
Manto Studio is perfect located on the main street with a close walk to the both beaches on each side of the town. Manto studio is a very familiar hotel with a great brekfast and kind and helpful crew. We loved to stay there and will return when visiting Palaiochora again.
The location was amazing, opposite the beach. The hotel is a new building with a very clean, modern feel. The facilities were perfect for us and the owner is very friendly and made our stay even more special with recommendations places to see. A perfect choice!
The room was immaculate and the kitchenette accessories were very well stocked. More than just basic, including hotplates and cooking gear. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The location is right on the main sandy Beach, very favorable.
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
The studio is very well equipped, it is situated on a perfect distance between both beaches in Paleochora and the main street. The hosts were very kind, we really enjoyed staying there for a week. Highly recommend the place!
Oh my goodness! Just a few yards from a pebbly beach. Keep in mind that little kids prefer the sandy beach, so this beach is peaceful! The rooms are fairly large, modern, and clean. The AC is great. Price can't be beat.
This is a lovely beach town, the property is located by the sandy beach and close the restaurants around the corner. The balcony was nice to sit and have coffee but just faces another building.
Hotel has all the facilities you need: Wi-Fi, air conditioner, clean rooms, surprisingly they cleaned the rooms every day in our short stay, and the value of money is excellent for Palaiochora
Away from the shops but very close to. Across the beach with a lovely view. Definitely happy that we had a balcony on the front side to enjoy the view. Spacious.
Nice choice for accommodation in Palaiochora, staff were friendly and polite, room was being cleaned every day, beds were massive but not very comfortable.
The Aris hotel was everything you could wish for... fabulous location with wonderful ocean side stoll to shopping and restaurants... wonderful staff!!!
