About Paleochora
Blessed with spectacular scenery and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, Paleochora is one of Crete’s most inviting small seaside towns. Backed by the rugged White Mountains and framed by a long sweep of golden sand, it’s the kind of place where days naturally slow down and life centres around the simple pleasures of sunshine, sea and good food.
The town itself has everything you need for an easy, carefree holiday. Wander between its welcoming tavernas, cafés and little shops, or join the gentle evening stroll as locals and visitors head out to enjoy the warm summer air. Beach lovers will appreciate the choice of sandy shores and quiet coves, perfect for swimming, sunbathing or simply unwinding with a book.
