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.
A comparatively small, but impeccably run, family hotel. The interior decor is stylish, with many original works of art. The Aris is in an excellent location, being a few minutes walk from the seafront restaurants and the compact centre of Palaeochora. It is also a short walk away from the beautiful beach of the town. Breakfast is served in a quiet dining room or on a sunlit terrace, shaded by trees. The Aris is a beautiful place in which to stay for a restful holiday or for exploring southern Crete.
We had a room for 2 with a little balcony and stayed only 2 nights but the stay was amazing. The host was super helpful he recommended several restaurants and bars. The communication was very amicable. The room was clean and cleaned every morning.
The building is located in front of the sea and near the city. There are several supermarkets in the area. The city of Palaiochóra is a very charming and the vibe is unique.
What a pity that we only stayed 2 nights, we wish we'd have stayed longer :(
Wonderful accommodation, perfectly equipped, in the kitchen you will find everything you need for cooking. Great host! Amazing seating on the balcony. During the day cars drive, but at night the traffic calms down and there is a good night's sleep. Parking in front of the house, several beaches a few minutes by car. To the town of Palaiochóra 5 minutes by car or an hour's quiet walk along the sea. Safe, quiet place for a comfortable holiday. I definitely recommend!
Fantastic hospitality, we have no words to describe how satisfied we have been with our stay in Mediterranean Dream. Amalia and her staff have been super friendly and very helpful whenever we needed something and also gave us tips for trips around Palaiochora. The rooms were very well decorated with great amenities, soft and clean bed, silent air condition, great bathroom and shower. We strongly recommend booking these beautiful rooms for a trip to Palaiochora.
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.
The room was nice. The staff was very supportive and the location is close to the beach. However, the wall isnt noise-prevention enough. During the time we stayed, at midnight, some of the guests were cooking and talking loudly in which we couldnt sleep. It would be nice if the host can make a regulation for this common area which asks people to keep quite in some certain time.
This hotel is modern, and it stands out from. the outside beside the other hotels. I really liked it, the room is very big, the bathroom very clean, the balcony is nice as well. It's near everything, and in front of the beach. The staff are very friendly, and they give the direction, their recommendation, they will answer you with all the questions you have.
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.
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!
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!
Very nice location within walking distance to the beach, Bakery and supermarket. The owner/manager was very friendly and helpful with an introduction to the village and tips on what we could do. The rooms where very clean and they were cleaned daily.
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 property has everything you need and the staff is extra helpful and nice. We stayed in the new building and it was wonderful. Great location with the beach right across the street.
Very goog breakfasts, very clean, we had in the room everything we needed. Quiete beach just 100m from the hotel with free umbrellas and very good bar.
