This studio is run by two extremely hospitable and kind folks. They will make you feel at home and show you what Cretan hospitality is about. Mania and her husband make it special. We even had an amazing lunch with them. They offered us homemade snacks and fruit. The studio is clean and well appointed. Has a small kitchen which we used to make breakfast every day. We sat outside on little patio in shade to enjoy it. The studio has a/c and good Wi-Fi. Beds are comfy too. Studio is a few steps from the sandy beach that turns out to be a great choice if you don’t want to drive. Supermarket is right around corner. Town is small and all is in walking distance. Across the small street is a great vegetarian restaurant “Third Eye” which comes in handy for a change of food flavor, we loved their curry. A small recommendation I must add is to drive to Anidri (a few minutes up the hill) and have lunch or early dinner at the school house cafe. Best view, ambiance and food. It’s a must when here. Summarizing, we loved our stay here at Ildar studios and felt Palaiochora had lots to offer. Glad we visited.
