Perched on the south-west of the ever popular island of Crete, Palaiochora is a beautiful resort with some fantastic beaches. When a town’s main exports are tomatoes and olive oil, you know you’ve found a real slice of Greece and not just some generic tourist spot that really could be anywhere. This place has some fantastic restaurants and bars, combined with friendly locals and perfect weather. It’s certainly bustling and exciting, but there also plenty of opportunities to step back and just admire the beauty and enjoy the relaxation you deserve. You would be hard pressed to find a more ideal location for your summer getaway.
Renting holiday accommodation in Palaiochora
As Palaiochora has gained popularity, there are more hotels available but instead we advise you to take an alternative route and find a Palaiochora apartment or villa to rent to yourself. Don’t worry about queuing for the pool or waking up in time to get to breakfast – just take everything at your own pace and really relax. By having your own apartment or villa, you will also pay a lot less than a hotel but have far more room to spread yourself out and make yourself at home. Make Palaiochora your own with a holiday rental from HouseTrip.
Where to stay in Palaiochora
HouseTrip’s selection of Palaiochora apartments and villas on offer are varied in size, style and distance to the centre. It’s really up to you what you want to get out of your holiday. If you dream of just getting away from it all then consider a cottage in Palaiochora with sloped ceilings and wooden furnishings for ultimate cosiness and comfort. Some of our properties also have fantastic sea views and balconies, so consider these if you want to be able to sip an ice cold drink and just watch the waves pass by from your own HouseTrip holiday rental. We also have some that are chic and modern, if you’re after a clean crash pad from which to hit the streets.
Palaiochora with the family
Palaiochora is a great destination with the family. In the summer, experience it in full bloom when thousands of wild flowers start displaying their amazing colours which always proves a hit with the kids. Elsewhere, you can get them to take in a little culture by exploring the Byzantine paintings on the churches, or wandering around the local museums. Added to this, there are several signposted walking routes in the area for those who are after an active holiday.
