The bathroom floor would pool with A LOT of water every time the shower was used which made the bathroom nasty. Also, the hotel has an odd policy that they insist you give them your room key if you are going to leave the hotel for any period of time (dinner, shopping, etc). They place the key on the counter (not behind the counter) where anyone who walks into the hotel can then pick it up and use it to go in your room. They claim they man the front desk to prevent this, but we repeatedly entered the lobby to find no employees present. It also seemed unlikely they would realize you were taking someone else’s key.

" [](https://expedia.co.uk/Kissamos-Hotels-Aphrodite-Beach.h12483871.Hotel-Information) ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does a beach hotel in Palaiochora cost? > Prices for beach hotels in Palaiochora vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates. ### Which area of Palaiochora is best to stay in for beaches? > The best area to stay in Palaiochora for beaches is the main town itself, particularly along the stretch between the sandy Pachia Ammos beach and the shingle-covered Chalikia beach. > > > > Palaiochora town is situated on a small peninsula, meaning you're always just a short walk from the sea. Pachia Ammos, the larger sandy beach, is on the west side of the peninsula, offering wide expanses of sand and clear waters, great for swimming and sunbathing. On the east side, you'll find Chalikia beach, known for its smooth pebbles and often calmer waters. The main promenade, lined with tavernas and cafes, runs parallel to the seafront, offering easy access to both. > > > > This area is ideal for couples who enjoy spending their days by the sea and their evenings strolling along the waterfront. You'll find a good selection of hotels and apartments within a stone's throw of either beach, providing convenience for a relaxed beach holiday. Many accommodations offer balconies with sea views, great for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening drink. > > > > Families will also find this central area highly convenient due to the immediate access to the sandy Pachia Ammos beach, which is generally well-suited for children. The town's amenities, including mini-markets and ice cream shops, are all within easy reach, making a family beach holiday straightforward and enjoyable. ### What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Palaiochora? > The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Palaiochora is during the summer months, particularly July and August. The weather is consistently warm, with average temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C, creating great conditions for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying the Mediterranean Sea. > > > > During this peak season, the beaches are bustling with activity, and all watersports and boat excursions to nearby coves or the famous Elafonisi beach are fully operational. Families often find this an ideal time for a beach holiday, as the warm sea temperatures and vibrant setting offer endless entertainment. Securing your preferred beachside accommodation and restaurant reservations well in advance is highly recommended due to the high demand. > > > > For a more relaxed experience, May presents a wonderful alternative. The weather is beautifully pleasant, typically ranging from 20°C to 25°C, which is still fantastic for beach days and exploring the charming village. ### How can I save on a beach hotel in Palaiochora with Expedia? > [One Key™](https://www.expedia.co.uk/welcome-one-key) —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Palaiochora beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™\* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the [last-minute deals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/b/vacations/last-minute-deals). > > > > > > > > \*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands. ### What beach activities should we do in Palaiochora? > The best beach activities in Palaiochora revolve around its two main beaches, Pachia Ammos and Chalikia Beach, offering distinct experiences for different preferences. > > > > Pachia Ammos, meaning "thick sand," is the larger and more popular of the two, stretching for over a kilometre west of the town. This sandy beach is well-organised with sun loungers and parasols available for hire, and its shallow, calm waters make it ideal for swimming and paddling. It's particularly good for families with children due to the gentle slope into the sea and the absence of strong currents. > > > > For those looking for a different coastal experience, Chalikia Beach is located just east of the town centre. This pebble beach is generally quieter than Pachia Ammos and offers excellent conditions for snorkelling. The clear waters here reveal a variety of marine life, making it a good spot for exploring beneath the surface. ### Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Palaiochora as a package? > Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect [travel package](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/beach-holidays). ### Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia? > Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Palaiochora for you. ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - Accommodation -
