Great room, great breakfast, free parking, and great staff. We met people that return year after year. That in itself says it all.
Located 328 feet away from Grammeno beach, Megim offers free transportation around the area and free sun beds and umbrellas on the beach.

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.
Casbah Boutique Hotel provides rooms with free WiFi in Palaiochora, conveniently located a 4-minute walk from Pachia Ammos and 600 yards from Halikia Beach.

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!

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.

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.
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!
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
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! :)
Beautiful villa on a nice location with sea view. Close to the beach, restaurant and the centre of Palaiochora, but still very quiet. The property was built with high quality materials, has a very nice swimming pool and has all the comfort you need, and more! Tony is a very friendly host, and we felt very welcome. Don’t hesitate to book here, you will not regret it.
An excellent space with a modern, very attractive design. Large room with all comforts and any needed facilities. Located in the centre of Palaiochora, just 3 miniutes from everything (beaches, taverns, bars, supermarket, etc.). Despite located in the centre of Palaiochora, it was very quiet.
Excellent room service. Very clean room.
This place has special vibes… if you need restart your mind, power - it is very good place. For living there are good comfortable room that includes small kitchen with everything, big balcony, nice view, nice mattress for sleeping. The villa for 5 minutes from Palaiochora by car. Perfect sand beach 3 min walk.
Wifi was the fastest we had on the entire trip.
Location was nice, across the road from a beach (which was windy while we were there).
Probably the only place on Crete where people actually wore masks.
Breakfast was included, boiled eggs, yogurt, coffee tea fairly typical of Crete breakfasts.
PERFECT location - just steps from the beach in one direction and the charming “downtown” in the other.
rooms are immaculate, the price was more than fair, and the bed was super comfortable.
i would 100 percent stay here again & reccommend for anyone else to stay here, as well. perfect spot
Everything was perfect, the room had everything we needed and was very clean, the staff was nice and communication was clear. It's very close to a small beach and a 5 minutes walk to the bigger one.
We will definitely come again !
The location is excellent, very close to the center of Paleochora and very close to the pachia ammos beach. The studio is very comfortable for a couple, has everything you need and is very clean. The hosts were excellent as well.
Supremely cool dude (Stelios?) taking care of us at the hotel. This is the hotel that Pal was missing, one step up from everything else, room-wise. Short way to The Palm restaurant and it is right on the beach, just perfect.
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!
New toothbrushes/shampoos/hairbalm/moisterising cream where also provided. Much more than expected. And less expensive to eat out at local resturants since beeing away from crowded tourist areas. The beach was great too😊
