Palekastro Information

Palekastro or Palaikastro, officially known as Palaikastro, is a thriving town located at the east end of Crete, a Mediterranean island in Greece. With its long history dating back to prehistoric times, this town has a rich cultural heritage and is a popular destination for tourists. In 2011, Palaikastro became a local community under the Kallikratis Programme, and is now part of the municipal unit of Itanos, within the municipality of Sitia, in the regional unit of Lasithi, in the region of Crete.

Previously, Palaikastro shared the Itanos area with three other villages, including Mitato, which was known for its ancient stone shepherd’s hut and was a popular spot for visitors. However, due to a decrease in population, Mitato village was phased out in 2017 and its residents were relocated to Palaikastro. The town is now the main center for services in the area.

The name Palaikastro is derived from the 65-meter-high promontory, Kastri, which is located along the coast of the town. The promontory was named after the Venetian fort that was built on its cliffs during the Middle Ages. However, as the use of cannon made the fort’s defenses obsolete, it was eventually abandoned and its stones were reused by the local population. Today, sections of the fort’s walls and houses can still be seen.

The promontory is flanked by two beaches, Kouremenos on the north and Chiona on the south. Behind Chiona beach, there is a Minoan settlement at Rousolakkos. The center of Palaikastro is approximately 2 km west of the promontory, and it is believed that the town was located near Rousolakkos during the Bronze Age.

It is important to note, however, that the promontory was not a habitable location. Its steep cliffs and lack of resources made it unsuitable for permanent settlement. Instead, it was likely used as a lookout and early warning station by the Minoans. Today, the promontory is a popular tourist attraction due to its historical significance and stunning views.

If you are planning to visit Palaikastro, keep in mind that it is located 143 km from Heraklion Airport and takes approximately 2 hours and 18 minutes to reach by taxi. To make your trip more convenient, you can book a taxi from our website, MyCreteTaxi. With its rich history and beautiful scenery, Palaikastro is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Crete.
