- as both we and our travel agents had struggled to find a good hotel in Paleochora, which served breakfast, for the dates we needed. Then, almost at the last moment, I noticed that Relax now serves breakfast, and very good it proved too, even if the buffet area got a little cramped at times. Our travel agents booked us a Premium room, and we were delighted to find this came with a ceiling fan, alongside all the standard fittings: minifridge, separate shower, basin & toilet, balcony with table, chairs and drying rack etc. Relax's location is a short walk from the very centre of town, but opposite the main sandy beach, where use of two recliners and a parasol cost 8 Euros. There are bars behind it for drinks & snacks. Parking is off-road, on a rough rubble hardstand behind the hotel; access down one side. The hotel pool is excellent, although it seemed to lack an outdoor shower. There is a gym in the basement, not that we used it. The staff were unfailingly helpful. Altogether this helped to put Paleochora at the top of our list of seaside towns on the island: recommended.
