Palaiochora

Description

Located on the south coast of the island, and a quiet retreat from the bustling resorts of the north coast, this small town is set on a prometary with a castle standing guard on the high ground. To the east the cliffs of Crete continue with a small rocky beach, To the west a long sandy beach is the main draw of the town. The journey to Palaiochora is a major reason to go, with the bus from Chania climbing high into the White Mountains to cross over the high lands of Crete and back down with the final descent ending at the start of the town.

Charge

Getting There

At the time of visiting in July 2020 there was only one round trip option a day with the bus departing Chania at 12:15 (Sunday-Friday) and departing Palaiochora for the return trip at 18:15, with a journey time of just under 2 hours - so you end up with about 4 hours to explore the town. On a Saturday the bus leaves Chania at 08:45 with the return leaving at 15:00
