Palatia Village

Only a 15 minute walk to the town & seafront. Perfect location, food is brilliant but most of all the staff are amazing. From the get-go, they make you feel welcome. This is my first time here but I'm already planning to return next year. GEORGE is a top guy, brilliant.

Good points Clean, comfortable beds, linen and towels. Basic but adequate two ring hob , microwave and fridge for self catering. Clean but small pool however, rarely busy so big enough. Plenty of free sun beds anytime of day. No one reserves them so don’t start! Location not bad , ten minutes walk down the hill to the nearest supermarket but the walk back up is strenuous. Apartments get cleaned nearly every day and linen changed mid stay. Overall You can see the family work hard to provide a clean environment. However, I advise you book the cheapest room with no food and use the place as a base. As somewhere to spend the most of your holiday and eat. Absolutely not. Not so good. Booked a 43 squared metre superior one bed apartment. Was quietly allocated a 30-35 at best squared metre apartment. The owner thinks we don’t know but we’re not stupid but we are too nice to complain. He knows this because he didn’t charge for air con which is standard practice here. I took measurements on an app but the place was small but I needed to prove my suspicions. Therefore, you may not always get what you pay for! Meals. We went half board. Absolutely a waste of money. The dinner is unappetising and who cooks is no cook. There are six hot plates to choose from. One will be potatoes ( one night it was actually powdered potato mash mix) one will be vegetables. Three will be pork eg pork mince, pork kebabs and pork and beef mixed mince meatballs. If you’re lucky, you will get left over chicken from the barbecue night. Don’t get me wrong, the presentation area is clean but there is no care given to what they are serving half board customers. One night was pork and mince with a separate section of spaghetti . The next night was a smaller section of spaghetti with some sauce that looked like a left over sauce from cooking something else. Do they think we are stupid? There is also a salad section. That’s ok. Sweets or deserts is always melon and baklava. So none really. Breakfast is two cereals, fried egg, powdered scrambled egg, boiled egg and a little sausage or bacon. Juice is orange squash. You get the idea. You can buy burgers and pizza from the pool bar which is what they would prefer you do. Do not take any food options here.

Visited this property in June 2024 with my family of 3 kids and wife,we also had friends and there daughter with us as part of an extended family holiday. When we got on site extremely late at night we were welcomed by George the owner who is so welcoming as are all the staff. We had some amazing views from our apartment number 23 of Hersonnisos and Koutoulafari which was equipped with A/C which is not standard for accom.in most parts of Greece and was very welcomed during high temps especially at night. Our kids loved the pool however it being a bit small but overall enjoyed by all. The poolside bar serves a wide range of cuisine which is very competetively priced. Taxis are 8-10 euro to the main ***** which is also less than a 5 minute walk. Overall thoroughly enjoyed the stay at Palatia.

This was our 3rd stay and felt just like coming home. The outdoor space is lovely and the rooms/apartments are well equipped. The family are all really welcoming and always ready to help and answer any questions. Happy hour in the open air bar, Greek night and the Sunday roast are all traditions we love and appreciate. The location between the busy harbour front and the small traditional villages further up the hill has been ideal for us as you can choose exactly what you feel like on the day. We walked on average 10 km every day but taxi’s are in abundance and not expensive. There were more groups of young people this year compared to previous, but they were all lovely and well behaved. Overall we loved coming back and will not hesitate to book again if we get the opportunity.
