"Wonderful hotel with great staff! The breakfast was excellent with many options. The room was super clean with a staff member (I think her name was Maria) making an extra effort to cheer us every day leaving some cute figures in the forms of animals made of towels in our room. Highly recommend!"

"Excellent property and staff. Well-constructed property and comfortable, well furnished rooms. Oceanfront rooms have unobstructed views of the best beach in the area with the property directly across the street from the beach. The street has little traffic / road noise (not a concern). Quick (< 5 minute) walk to main shopping area and restaurants, but a world away from the hustle and bustle. Better than average included breakfast buffet. Use of well-padded, comfortable beach loungers and palapas included with stay with an adequate number available to avoid the “6 a.m towel game”. Off-street parking provided. Overall, attention to detail and service provided is exceptional for a family-owned property. Will be my go-to property when visiting the area."

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.
