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!

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.
Check-in was easy and efficient. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. They were very knowledgeable about the hotel, local interests, and listened well in both Greek and English so that they were able to make satisfying recommendations for us. The hotel is conveniently located next to a lovely cafe that is open for breakfast and lunch, and it is also across from the beach. Want to shop or see a castle.... just a few minutes walk away.
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.
Nice room (no.4), good bed & shower, a little outside of center of Palaiochora but easy and quick to reach everything, supermarket only a couple of minutes away. Everybody was really nice and helpful, the house, garden and room is nice and very well cared for. Price / value is really good.
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.
An exceptional little boutique hotel tucked away in the narrow streets of Palaiochora. The room was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. The hotel management and staff were so helpful and courteous.
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.
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!
Everything! The place is close to the beach , the owner of the hotel was amazingly helpful and friendly ! Beautiful area to explore. The room was very spacious and clean , very cool vibes!
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.
