Getting there: 75
km from Chania on a good road. Several buses per day. You can aso
reach Paleochora by boat from other villages in the south-west of
Crete.
Atmosphere: It is
a "real" village with a population of about 2000. Lively
and sometimes a little too busy in the high season but it is very
easy to get away from the bustle.
Accommodation: A very
wide choice of rooms, studios and self-catering apartments.
Restaurants: Many
restaurants of all kinds.
Shopping: Plenty of
shops.
Nightlife: Some bars
and a discoteque.
Beach: Beautiful long
sandy beach, a little exposed to the West wind. There are several
other more protected (pebble) beaches nearby. There are more beaches
further west at Konduras and Krios.
