Paleochora

This is budget accommodation but in a great position in Paleochora. The studios are next to the road which runs along the seafront and in a quiet part of town.
There is an attached cafe which serves good breakfasts, snacks and meals throughout the day.
There is no designated parking area although we always managed to park on a nearby road close to the apartments. This might be more difficult in peak season though.
We didn't spend much time in our room as it didn't have a sea view and was very cramped.
We felt it had far too much " stuff" in it including a  cooking are and sink that we didn't use . We were constantly having to move our luggage around the room as there was so little space.
I thought that the room needed updating. It was the cheapest accommodation we stayed in while touring around Crete but all the other places we stayed were much cleaner,more modern and just more pleasant.
We still enjoyed Paleochora and if we visited again I would look for alternative accommodation.

Budget accommodation in a great position

Flora and Haris own and run these apartments and The Waters Edge bar/cafe next door. They also have a newish apartment block behind still with sea views but with a swimming pool and terrace roof garden. That all guests can use.

It’s all usually booked out months ahead and we have wanted to stay here before...this time we were very lucky and had a ground floor apartment, kitchen and outside area, with fabulous sea view and loads of room to move around with the sun or into the shade.
It’s on the rocky beach part of town and gets the pink dawn and morning sun. The views are amazing.

For us, having been coming to Paleochora since the 70’s, it has been our best experience ever. Amazing hosts, friendly guests and a real feeling of inclusiveness. The place is spotless, cleaned every day, the kitchen was well equipped and the cooker efficient.
It is very hard work running a place like this but Flora makes it look easy, she always has time for her guests and has a terrific sense of humour. 
My only hesitation in writing this is that I might now find it even harder to get a booking in future. Darn it!

This is THE PLACE!

Stopped here for 2 nights. The rooms were quite comfortable. We had one on the first floor. Nice balcony with views of the sea front. Our room was very noisy during the night because of the wind rattling the canopies and rafters but we had been offered one of the more modern studios at the back which were great but didn’t have as good views so it was a trade off for us older rooms with better views. Very friendly owners and staff. Lovely food in the restaurant next door which is part of the same outfit. Great breakfast.

Good sea views. Quiet part of town.

We spent a week here in late May. Although our studio was small, it was spotless and well equipped. It was cleaned daily (except Sunday) and towels were changed regularly. Our balcony looked directly out to sea and to the dramatic sunrise over the stunning White Mountains. Flora, Haris and the team in the adjoining Water's Edge Café made us very welcome. Breakfasts (with raki and cake!) were memorable. Special thanks go to the cashier, Elvis (see photos). A real gentleman with highly developed customer service skills! 
An easy five-minute stroll took us into the centre of Paleochora, a very laid-back village with two beaches (one pebble, one sand - when it's windy on one, it's calm on the other), shops, tavernas and bars. We’ve visited Crete regularly since 1989 and we can honestly say that Paleochora is our favourite place. We’d love to return - both to Paleochora and to Haris Studios.

Recommended without hesitation

If going to paleochora this is the place to stay , studios with balcony or small terass and kitchenette - magnificent seawiew and 5 minutes walk to centre of town. Not a luxurious 5 star hotell but very cosy! Your host Flora is very service minded and will make sure you have everything you need and that you will feel like home! - there is a small pebble beach just outside and you reach the two big beaches (one pebble and one sand) within 5-10 minutes walk ! 
You also have access to a small pool at the "sister" hotel yorgos just around the corner - and were you can find very nice apartments !

Cosy place with stunning wiew!

Can't recall how many years I have been a guest at Haris Studios, but I can certainly say that every time I go back, I feel at home!
Flora is a great host that always makes you feel welcome and takes good care of you!
Rooms are well maintained, clean and have all you need for a short or long stay! I absolutely love the units with the veranda on the ground floor - perfect to chill in the evening or have breakfast in the morning.
Speaking of breakfast, the Water Edge Cafe next door (managed by the same family) offers a great variety of tasty food all day long - so if you don't want to cook, nothing to worry about!
