Another find. Once upon a time houses and buildings were decorated with these unique mosaic/chessboard floor tiles and fitted out with wood shelves and bed frames like those from a quality ocean going yacht or the cabins in a tramp steamer - Palazzo is one of the best preserved and renovated examples. It offers the unusual ability to be on the beach, yet in the centre of Agios Nikolaos town!
In its 10 suite-apartments, 8 of which have a sea view - right there in front of the hotel, on the small convenient in-town beach of kitroplatia in Agios Nikolaos, you find a sense of quality , a feeling you are in the right location. You will experience hospitality, you can enjoy eating at the special treat-of-a-restaurant next door, or you step across to the beach and swim - but in the same few steps you can be walking to the town's numerous shops, cafes and restaurants, going to the "lake" cafes and enjoying a selection of town attractions.
Start your day with breakfast in the stylish beach-view dining area and enjoy the best the morning can introduce as the sea glistens and the nearby cafes and shops beckon. The hotel is truly "on the beach", with cafes and eating places, and a few minutes walk providing a selection of all manner of things to buy and pamper yourself with.
If one of you wants to soak up the sun, splash and swim - the other wants to explore shops, churches and the sights - you have both, you have it all!

The Palazzo Apartments were a totally different experience but equally superb. The owners were perfect hosts, could not do enough for us, the view from our very spacious apartment was gorgeous and there was an excellent choice of restaurants right on our doorstep. We were fortunate to be there for the Easter weekend festivities which were fantastic!

The apartment was spacious and very comfortable. Great
breakfast with local farmer products.Good location on the beach with good
restaurants around.Free internet.
Only critic: the noise at night with traffic, restaurants and cafe lounge.
Although Window isolation is very efficient it does not allow to benefit of
sea breeze at night...one cannot have all advantages under one roof ! [with windows closed, it is quiet]

We had a very enjoyable visit to Crete, and we
were very happy with our accommodation at the Palazzo Apartments. The
rooms, service and position by the beach were all A1! The holiday was
made extra special by the owner/manager of the apartments and if we returned
to Crete we would most certainly contact you again.
With thanks
