Apartment holiday rentals in Palaiochora

It was a pleasure to stay at Maria’s. She is a great powerful woman and the restaurant downstairs is always packed due to its quality. The beach is 2min away. Me and my 3-year-old daughter we loved it there and will come back next year

A great place. modest fully equipped room. great calm surroundings. not that walkable to the city and the sandy beach, but quite nearby with a car. completely woth it, hope to come back.

5 stars are not enough to describe this place, especially the care and kindness we were offered - definitely home from home! Evangelia and her son are exceptional hosts. Their place is spotless and extrimely well equipped. There's free parking next to the house, and toiletries are provided. Evangelia came to empty our bins daily and changed the towels after 3 days. There are great views over Paleochora from the balcony, and it's quiet throughout the day.

Very nice apartment located a little away from the hustle and bustle of the city but still within walking distance. Very nice balcony with sea view. Easy to get to, with plenty of room to park. Eftychios is very responsive and welcoming. Go there without so much as a second thought!

Great little pad at Elafonisi, and pretty much the closest you can be to the beach - which is about 7 minutes walk from all the accommodation and town. Lovely and peaceful – even though it was central it was tucked away and felt remote. Could have been stocked a bit better - only enough for 1 1/2 coffees, no tea. Great fridge/freezer but no glasses or plates - though they delivered some when I asked. As it's a great spot to relax after your beach time. Would recommend.

Ioannis was an amazing host for us, super friendly and offering local recommendations and always getting back to us straight away. The apartment is beautiful, if anything it's even better in real life. I didnt realise there was a balcony, which we made use of! We will definitely be back to visit Palechora and the only place we will be staying is right here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Manos' place. Manos remodeled his apartment beautifully with great taste not to mention an amazing job with the lighting. Manos was also very responsive and was there to greet us. The place is very peaceful, and we highly recommend it if you want to get away from the buzz of the cities for a few days...

My girlfriend and I stayed at the apartment for 7 nights, we found the apartment perfect for what we had planned for our holiday. The staff were extremely helpful and replied to messages and calls promptly when we needed them. I would recommend this apartment to anyone considering it.

Thanks Hanne for having us. We had a lovely stay at the flat and enjoyed being so close to the beach and great restaurants. Hanne was also a very kind, welcoming and attentive host. We will be back! Joe

First of all, I wanted to thank our host because the accommodation was amazing. Everything was really planned for our stay to be perfect, - a super clean apartment, - an incredible view of the pool and the sea in the distance, - a bottle of cold water to cool off when we arrive, - ice cubes, - appetizer cakes, - raki, I think it's the most beautiful accommodation we've had during our stay, I would recommend it 1000 times!

The apartment was in a great location and really easy to find and to get around to other places from there. Communication was great and George was very helpful with tips about local places to go to! Would definitely stay again.

I had a wonderful stay! The host kindly met me at the bus station and helped with my luggage — such a thoughtful gesture that instantly reassured me, especially as it was my first time traveling solo as a woman. The apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, and offered stunning views of both the sea and the mountains. Its location was perfect — everything was within walking distance, from charming cafés and bakeries to local markets and two lovely beaches just minutes away. The area felt very safe, and I especially cherished my quiet mornings reading on the sunny balcony. Everything was just perfect. I stayed for a week and would return in a heartbeat!

We had a dream stay. The apartment was almost more beautiful than expected and was equipped with everything. Brigitta welcomed us warmly and provided us with excursion tips and restaurant recommendations. Everything for the first breakfast was prepared as a surprise in the refrigerator. The location is very convenient to explore the beautiful beaches, but you can also simply enjoy the peace and quiet in the beautiful village. We would come back.

I was with two friends at Despina's place. Maria, who lives nearby, welcomed us nicely. The location is great and the views breathtaking. You'll feel right at home in no time. The surroundings also offer a lot. Although you are dependent on a car, you can be in Sougia within 10 minutes and enjoy the small town. Everything in one just great and I think I'll come back!

The accommodation is very central and yet very quiet. The communication was problem-free, friendly and very accommodating. The quality of the accommodation is well above the usual average. I would book again if necessary.

Amazing stay!!!! Would 100% stay here again. Everything is new and in good condition. Amazing location and amazing view. Super comfy bed

Truly a great apartment! Fully matched the listing. It is sparkling clean and everything has been thought of: tea, coffee, washing machine, you name it. It is in a quiet area, but at the bottom of the mountain there is a nice restaurant to enjoy the sunset. We had to mess with the jacuzzi for a while: it went on every hour in the middle of the night, but the host responded very quickly and was able to explain to us how we could solve this. We had a wonderful stay, I would recommend it to everyone.

Perfect location in Chania, literally in the middle of the action of the old town. Every restaurant on our list was a short walk away. It was very easy to stop back at home to freshen up and go back out at any time. The house itself is meticulously renovated with a luxurious modern feel, yet still preserving the elements of the 500 year old history of the house. Three floors, two bedroom, 2.5 bathrooms. There are four outdoor spaces if you include the ground floor patio which we enjoyed sitting and listening to the music of the bar next door. The hosts are very helpful and their family’s beach club is the nicest one on Paralia Agia Marina. We spent almost a full day there. We rented a car for two of our days to get to the beaches and Nancy showed us where to park for free for extended periods. You can park closer for a fee, and the pedestrian street is open to cars early in the morning so I was able to drive right up to the door to load out. I would definitely stay there again.

Mike was great from the start…we booked last minute and he texted me immediately. He made everything very easy and was extremely friendly when we got there to check in. He showed us everything about the apartment that we needed to know and gave us lots of tips on where to go to eat and to see the best sites. The rooftop space was beautiful and the apartment was very close to everything in the area… We were able to walk to everything! I would definitely recommend staying there… Thank you, Mike!

Great stay, great location, great views. Very close to many bars and restaurants. Not too noisy at night. The only slightly negative aspect was the shower. Basically made the entire floor flooded. Overall, i would recommend the place and would definitely return.

Hidden gem! Loved this home, literally two minute walk to Golden Beach. Katerina is so sweet (she met us in-person, had local restaurant recommendations, and even provided a bottle of wine). The home was perfect for our group of 6 (great value for the money, too). Would 100% come again!

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. I think it was the perfect location just outside the old town - very easy to walk into old town or along the marinas to many restaurants and shops yet also easy access for tours and outings outside the city. I loved Crete and would recommend this Airbnb to others. Some of the restaurants we enjoyed in the area (easily walkable from the apartment) include Maiami, El Gato, and SALIS. We also enjoyed a cooking lesson, snorkeling boat trip, and olive oil tasting.

Beautiful place and great host

Andreas was a friendly and responsive host who answered our questions promptly. The flat was well equipped and in an excellent location very close to the old town. We would definitely stay again when next back in Chania!
