We stayed in Palaiochora for 5 nights after a long day of traveling and was greeted kindly by Ioannis' mother. She let us in, showed us the flat and had even bought some bread and vegetables which was an incredibly thoughtful touch.
The apartment was clean, serviced daily, had basic cooking facilities, comfy large bed, was cool at night times and placed in a perfect location; just a couple of minutes walk from the bus station, local bakery, beach, jetty (where you can grab a ferry to a number of stunning locations along the coast). Paliochoro itself is a small town where the streets are lined with colourful flowers and plants, an array of local tavernas and an exceptional vegetarian restaurant, Third Eye only a moment's walk from the main Sandy Beach.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
