Paleachora is a great town and Hotel Aris is a very good place to stay. Well positioned with everything you need. The breakfast was exceptional. Every day there was a huge selection of fresh food with different Cretan specialities. The hotel owners are very friendly. Our room was lovely - decorative but simple. There is a beautiful garden with hammocks and different seating areas. A really terrific place.

The property is well located very near to the central square but there was no noise in the room at all. It is very stylish and imaginatively designed with quality fittings including kitchenware. The bed was large and very comfortable and the shower excellent. Our room was on the ground floor with access to an outside sitting area. It was split level with the toilet and shower downstairs so a word of caution if you have any physical limitations as there are some 18 steps to negotiate without a hand rail. There are no common areas ( bar, restaurant etc) but with a well equipped kitchen and lots of bats, restaurants and shops nearby, that is not a problem.
Centrally located in Paleochora, only 150 metres from Halikia Beach, Rea Hotel features a garden where a homemade breakfast is served daily. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas.

Struttura molto essenziale e buona posizione ( si vede il mare e vicino al centro)
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!
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 :(
It’s spotless clean, the room is big, with super comfortable mattresses and across to the beach.
Many great restaurants and an awesome bakery just steps away. I also must point out that it’s super silent and we could sleep like angels after exploring this beautiful region.
We will definitely return to Palaiochora next season and Sifis Studios is, in my opinion, the best place to stay.
Panos, the owner, is super friendly. We felt like home.
It's one of the best and most comfortable places we've stayed so far! The host is so nice and one can see and feel that he has built and manages the whole building with a lot of love and care! There are many small things that highlights how well-thought everything is. Location is also great - just 1minute away from the beautiful long sandy beach with amaizing waves! Highly recommend this place, it's a hidden jem of the pretty touristic city!
An absolute gem of a hotel! Right on the front row by the sea, we enjoyed beautiful sunsets from the balcony.The room was tastefully furnished and incredibly cozy.To the center of the village it's just a 5 minutes walk. The owner was exceptionally kind and ensured that we had everything we needed. Our Crete vacation began here, and we loved it so much that we couldn't resist returning for our last 3 days. We highly recommend this place.
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.
Brand new hotel. Big room with a great view of the sea and beach across the road. Stelios is very welcoming. Location is great and an easy walk from the bus station. There is a Nespresso machine in the room and a small refrigerator so it was easy to have coffee and yogurt on our balcony. There's also a lovely coffee shop right next door.
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!
Rula is the best host in Crete! Apartment was very nice, close to the beach and the tavernas, but not in the centre, so it was very quiet there. Rula offered us some cakes, biscuits and spinach pies and everything was excellent! We felt really welcomed:-)
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
Lovely room, right next to the sea. Excellent hospitality, Michael provided us with a wealth of local knowledge and suggestions to maximise our time in Palaiochora. We would definitely come back.
Thank you!
It's was right in the centre of Palaiochora.Near the beach.Very close to all the restaurants.The room was cosy and very clean .You can park your car in the streets nearby.
