Palaiokastro (Greek: Παλαιόκαστρο) is a coastal village and a community in the municipal unit of Malevizi. 9 km west of Heraklion on the island of Crete. In 2011 Palaiokastro had a population of 255 for the village and over 1000 of people that have their country house. It is situated in front of a 70 meter long pebbled beach leading to a cove with rapidly deepening waters that are protected from the prevailing northerly winds. On the southern end of the beach rises a steep calcareous rock. During the Venetian occupation of Crete extensive fortifications were built on this rock, housing cannons that secured the bay of Heraklion. Ruins of the fortress walls survive until today.

Η απόστασή του από το Ηράκλειο είναι περίπου 8 χλμ. και βρίσκεται δυτικά από την πόλη του Ηρακλείου. Η μικρή παραλία του συνδυάζει τα βότσαλα στην δεξιά πλευρά και την αμμουδιά στην αριστερή επίσης μένει ανεπηρέαστη από τους ισχυρούς βόρειους ανέμους της περιοχής. (el)

- Palaiocastro (em grego: Παλαιόκαστρο) ou Paleocastro é uma aldeia e comuna da costa norte da ilha de Creta, na Grécia, na unidade regional de Heraclião, município de Malevizi e unidade municipal Gazi. A comuna tem cerca de 10 km² e em 2001 tinha 156 habitantes. A aldeia situa-se 15 km a noroeste de Heraclião, em frente de uma praia de seixos com cerca de 70 metros de extensão, que vai dar a uma enseada onde a profundidade desce rapidamente e que está protegida dos ventos dominantes de norte. Na extremidade sul da praia ergue-se uma colina rochosa calcário. Durante a ocupação veneziana de Creta, foram ali construídas extensas fortificações, com canhões que defendiam a baía de Heraclião. As ruínas da fortaleza ainda são visíveis. Os exploradores ingleses do século XIX Robert Pashley e Thomas Spratt identificaram o penedo da fortaleza veneziana com a acrópole da antiga cidade de Kytaion (tradução: "abdómen"), mencionada por Plínio e Ptolomeu. Pashley estava convencido que o topónimo "Palaiocastro" indicava sempre uma antiga cidade. O seu compatriota Spratt baseou a sua identificação na forma côncava (como uma barriga) da baía. Antes deles, os venezianos colocaram a cidade em vários locais da costa norte, que iam desde Cândia (Heraclião) até Siteía. (pt)
