Serenity Hideaway (Iris rooms and apartments) is family business run successfully for over 15 years. Just 5klm out of the center of Paleochora in a residential neighbourhood you will find a place to put your mind in rest ,to relax, inspire and reset . You only have to let the unlimited view of the Libyan Sea and the clear night sky to enchant you. Moreover, in close distance there are some of the most beautiful natural beaches of South west Crete as well as taverns with delicious local cuisine food. If you are fan of hiking, the European trail E4 to Elafonisi is 1klm away and offers some of the best seascapes in Crete. The trail runs mostly on the seaside, therefore it can be combined with some refreshing dips on the way.
We are a family that tries to offer you a unique experience while travelling in Crete. We love to welcome people that want to explore and live the Cretan experience. That's why we are always at your disposal to help you plan your trip
In a quite neighborhood just a bit away of the city center of Palaiochora, you can reach the calmness that you need. Having everything that you need in short distance, restaurants , beautiful beaches, bakery and supermarket, are quite enough to create a beautiful adventure in southwest part of Crete.
