Paleohora

 Description

Paleohora is a large village which has been popular with tourism for a number of years, no doubt because of its beautiful beach.

 Getting there

75 km from Hania on a good road. Several buses per day. You can also reach Paleohora 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.

 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.
