Παλαίκαστρο (επίσης μεταγράφεται ως Παλαίκαστρο ? Godart και Olivier PK συντομογραφία) είναι ένα μικρό χωριό στο ανατολικό άκρο της Μεσογείου νησί της Κρήτης .

Πρόκειται για μια ιστορική τοποθεσία. Ήδη στην Μινωική εποχή η περιοχή ήταν ένα κέντρο του εμπορίου. Το λιμάνι της Ιτάνου , σήμερα αρκετά μέτρα κάτω από την επιφάνεια της θάλασσας, αναφέρεται στους αρχαίους χρόνους. 

Οι πολύ μεγάλη Μινωική εμπορικό οικισμό Roussolakkos κοντά στην παραλία Χιόνα, ανασκάφηκε από Άγγλους αρχαιολόγους, δείχνει σαφώς ότι η περιοχή ήταν ένα από τα σημαντικότερα εμπορικά κέντρα του Μινωικού πολιτισμού στην ακραία ανατολικά του νησιού της Κρήτης. 

Ο Κούρος του Παλαίκαστρου είναι σκαλιστά εικόνα ενός νεαρού που ανακτήθηκε στα τμήματα μεταξύ 1987 και 1990.

Το χωριό παραμένει ελεύθερη από τον μαζικό τουρισμό. Η κύρια δραστηριότητα των περίπου 1100 κατοίκους εξακολουθεί να είναι η γεωργία. ελιές και αμπέλια καλλιεργούνται και μερικά ψαράς παραμένουν. εμπορική αλιεία είναι όμως δύσκολο αυτές τις μέρες λόγω της σημαντικής υπεραλίευσης της Μεσογείου . 

Ο τουρισμός είναι μια σημαντική πηγή συμπληρωματικού εισοδήματος και είναι πιθανό να παραμείνει έτσι.

Στην ανατολική άκρη του χωριού, ορατό από απόσταση, υπάρχει μια επίπεδη λόφοΚαστρί (ες) . Αυτός ο λόφος Παλαίκαστρο έδωσε το όνομά του στο Μεσαίωνα, όταν η περιοχή κυριαρχείται από την κυρίαρχη εξουσία της 

Βενετίας . Στις επίπεδη κορυφή του οι Βενετοί καθιέρωσε ένα οχυρό. Κατά τη διάρκεια των αιώνων οι πέτρες έχουν εκκαθαριστεί μακριά και χρησιμοποιούνται από τους ανθρώπους της περιοχής να χτίσουν τα σπίτια.
