Location information

Paleohora

  Paleohora, on the Libyan Sea, is 77km from Chania on the road Chania - Tavronitis - Voukolies - Kandanos - Paleohora. It is very near the southwest tip of Crete. The town of Paleohora is behind the castle on a small peninsula. There are also many Byzantine churches in the area.
Although it is rapidly growing as a tourist centre, it still retains much local colour. The main street is shut off to traffic during the summer evenings and the restaurants and activities of the town extend into the street. On both sides of the peninsula there are public beaches that have long, wide stretches of sand. There are also many hotels and restaurants of all classes. Paleohora can be a base for many excursions in the area.
