Relax Hotel  

On Crete’s sun-soaked southwest coast in the heart of Paleochora — right on Palaiochora Beach and about a five-minute walk from the Museum of the Acritans. Venetian Castle sits roughly a mile away and Gialiskari Beach is a short drive.

This compact Art Deco retreat offers 26 air-conditioned rooms plus studios and apartments just steps (about 20 m) from the sand. Rooms come with refrigerators, microwaves and flat-screen TVs; studios add kitchen facilities for self-catering and practical comforts like daily housekeeping and safes.

Dip into a seasonal outdoor pool or splash around the on-site pool and aquapark, then rent bikes or join the local diving club for coastal adventures. The hotel also features a library, picnic area, tour/ticket assistance, laundry services, free self-parking and a 24-hour airport shuttle for a surcharge—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy beach access.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property and luggage storage keep you connected and organized; free self-parking makes it easy if you’re driving.

There’s an on-site bar for relaxed evenings, while studios and apartments offer kitchens for cooking fresh local produce or grabbing breakfast your way.
