Art accommodation in Paleochora, Chania – Is the location right?

Many people believe that art hotels are better suited to bigger destinations than Paleochora, like Chania city, for example. They believe that there is a specific “vertical market” for art accommodation that you cannot find in more “cool”, down-to-earth destinations like Paleochora. They are wrong.

Each and every year, our hotel is filled with people who want to combine the Cretan coastal village charm with the local art. In many ways, Paleochora is a better art accommodation destination than one of the cities in the north coast of Crete, as it encompasses all that are important in real art: quietness, calmness, and nature.

As every visitor to Paleochora will tell you, Paleochora is not an “art destination”. Paleochora is art itself. The atmosphere of the village is all about the art of living, and the love of nature. And if you think this argument is excessive, a simple visit in Paleochora will change your mind.
