Holidays in Palekastro should also include a visit to a justly famous archaeological site: the Minoan Palace at Knossos. Another interesting Palekastro holiday excursion is the monastery at Toplou with Byzantine icons and lovely gardens.

A holiday in Palekastro could include exploration of some of the villages in the olive groves and hills of the interior. Palekastro holidays could use Palekastro as a base for exploring the east of Crete, the wildest and most unknown area of Crete, with fantastic beaches like Xerokambos beach, Kato Zakros beach and Kouremenos beach with strikingly clear blue water. Small roads cross the hills to visit extraordinary Crete hill villages.
