There is a big demand for suites, big apartments and villas. Therefore our clients book them very early in advance to ensure getting the accommodation.

Client’s wishes
We are happy to forward your wishes concerning the accommodation to the owners but can not guarantee for they will be met. Usually the hoteliers try to do their best, but we do not have any influence on the allocation of rooms.

Low season
If possible plan your holidays in low season. Beside the fact that the accommodations are cheaper you will find the island much quieter.

High season
August is the month of the Greeks’ holidays. At this period of the year not only the beaches are busy. The restaurants are full, the bars are crowded and open until dawn. Accordingly you will wait longer to get your meal served or your drink. Closing hours are more or less not enforced by the local authorities and no notice is taken about the noise caused by motor bikes and cars all night long.

Building sites
There is still a big amount of building work going on in Crete, as in all Greece. If building works should start near your booked accommodation we will inform you immediately and if they are unreasonable we will offer you an alternative.

Technical devices
In case of a defect occuring please do not expect immediate repair. It can be difficult to get artisans like plumbers or electricians in high season, because of the heat and their holidays. Therfore it could take a while until the defect is repaired.

Supply of water and electricity
In general the island of Crete has enough water, in Paleohora you can drink the water from the tap and it is good quality. In the last couple of years there have been occasional breaks in the water supply. If there is a fault it could take a couple of days to get repaired. Only a few accommodations do have big enough reserve water tanks. In case of that we ask you for patience, and if it helps you: the whole village is suffering…
The power supply does not always meet the high demand in summer from air conditions and high visitor numbers. There are occasional power cuts during summer time, but they never last longer than 3 or 4 hours.
