The Palazzo Hotel is situated at the bottom of one of the charming pedestrianised cobbled streets behind the much photographed old harbour. It was carefully converted from a historic Venetian mansion a number of years ago and oozes period charm. Although only 300 metres from the bustling, taverna-lined harbour front with its immaculately polished wooden floors, stairs and furniture and wide stone arches the Palazzo retains an air of its former glory. It is family owned and run and all the staff are anxious to uphold the Cretan tradition of generous hospitality.
The hotel has just eleven rooms which, thanks to careful refurbishment, now all have air-conditioning, televisions, fridges, telephones, safety deposit boxes and of course en-suite shower rooms.
Each room is named after a Cretan deity and most have a small wrought-iron balcony looking out onto the mainly pedestrianised street below. There is also a larger room at the top of the building capable of sleeping up to three in comfort.
There is a cool antique-filled reception and breakfast room on the ground floor whilst the large communal roof terrace has views of the sea, the coastline and the omnipresent White Mountains
For those using Palazzo as a base for exploring the island there is a car park at the end of the street and the bus station and taxi ranks and within easy walking distance, as are all the modern day facilities of the town. A short walk along the seafront will bring you to the sandy town beach fringed by bustling fish tavernas much favoured by the locals.
