Palekastro is a small, one-time farming village set on the east of Crete. Still widely unknown to tourists, Palekastro is a holiday resort where you can really kick back and relax!
Palekastro is fast becoming more popular because of the abundance of beautiful beaches around the area. The best beach of the bunch is the nearby Vai beach which is all golden sand and backed by a fragrant forest of pines – the nearby lively bars don't do any harm either! Historic sites such as the Moni Toplou Monastery also make Palekastro a great place to visit!
Although not large, Palekastro has a few restaurants, a few bars and a disco where you can indulge and dance the night away! So if what you fancy is a bit of relaxation and a bit of fun, Palekastro is the place for you!
