We rented this house for one week, which was too short! Everything was perfect, and we enjoyed ourselves every minute of our stay. Tim and Helen welcomed us at a tavern not far from the house. They are very friendly, showed interest in us and told us about Crete, its culture and where to go. The location of the house is great. The village, with a little supermarket and two tavernas, is closeby, and there are some nice beaches not far from the house. But we spend most time at the house, which was very comfortable en completely equiped on the inside, but awesome at the outside area. The views from the garden were nice, it was a quiet environment, a fantastic garden and clean pool. We can absolutely recommend this house!

Kissamos (Kastelli) is a modern seaside town, 36km east of Chania, with a population of 5000 people, whose economy is based mainly on agriculture – with its renowned olive oil and wine- plus tourism, and is still developing. The beauty of Kissamos, is that it is a Greek town that has embraced tourism but not been spoiled by it. Visitors of Kissamos can experience local life and tradition, from the everyday to the special cultural events organized during the summer season. In recent years it has also developed as a region renowned for its alternative, natural and eco tourism and as such is a magnet for walkers, bird watchers and lovers of nature generally. It is a hospitable town, well organized with all the facilities required of a self sufficient town, such as banks, post office, internet cafes, health centre, supermarkets and stores, tavernas, cafes and bars. It also has a very pleasant seaside promenade lined with tavernas, cafes and bars open from the morning till late at night. There are ships running from Kissamos harbor to Kithira, Peloponnese and Pireaus. There are also daily cruises from Kissamos to Gramvousa and Balos lagoon. SIGHTSEEING The archeological museum of Kissamos, situated in the central square Stratigou Tzanakaki, is a recently renovated listed building housing a treasure trove of local archeological finds from the Hellenistic and Roman periods – most notably very impressive mosaics. There is also a delightful street called Skalidi that runs through the center of the old section of the town with traditional arched buildings and small local tradesmen and shops. One and a half kilometers from the center of the town, is the picturesque fishing port with two tavernas and a little further on, the larger commercial port that links Kissamos by a ferry service to Kythera , the Peloponnese and Piraeus. From this port there is also a daily pleasure cruise to the stunning island of Gramvousa and lagoon of Balos. Between the two ports is the surprising little 10th century church (reconstructed in 1947) St. John Damiali built into the rock face and opposite a tunnel leading to Damiali beach – a pebbly cove with crystal clear water that will enchant you. HISTORY Kissamos was also known as Kastelli and got its name from the Venetian fort that used to stand in the town. Predating that time, “Cisamon” is mentioned by Pliny and “Kissamos Town” by Ptolemy. The town flourished during the Roman period and much evidence of this has been uncovered, with Roman baths, villas with mosaic floors, cemeteries, an aqueduct and the remains of the fortress walls. In the museum there are archaic, classical and Hellenistic objects, pots, statues, glass containers and coins etc. Roman Kissamos also had a famous theater which was noted by Onario Belli in the late sixteenth century, and the famous archaeologist B. Theofanidis has established Seli, an area just outside of the town of Kissamos, as a base for King Agamemnon. During the first Byzantine period Kissamos retained its power and the diocese was established but during the second Byzantine period the bishopric was moved to the village of Episkopi to escape the pirate raids on the coast. During the Venetian occupation the diocese of Kissamos was received into the universal church, as mentioned by a Latin bishop in 1307. During the period 1579 to 1582 a fortress with a pentagon shaped church, prison, barracks and well was constructed. Some of the wall is still visible in the town today. During the Turkish occupation Kastelli actively participated in all revolutionary attacks against the Turks and sought with Mother Greece. Also during World War II Kissamos the town, and the whole area, was active in the resistance against the occupying Nazis. Mavros Molos beach Mavros Molos (i.e. black jetty) beach is located just in front of Kissamos town, 36km west of Chania. Mavros Molos is a long gulf, on which remains of the ancient port of Kissamos have been found. It is the main beach of Kissamos town and hosts the most swimmers in the area. It's a great beach with fine sand and relatively shallow waters. Next to the beach there are many cafes, restaurants and hotels. Umbrellas, sunbeds, lifeguard and showers are provided. There are also many tamarisk trees, providing natural shade. West of Mavros Molos main beach, there is a smaller cove, which has pebbles and is rockier. The cove is never crowded and is suitable for snorkeling. Telonio beach The beach of Telonio starts east of the main pedestrian road of Kissamos and extends to the local stadium, about 1km eastern. Actually it is the westernmost part of the vast beach that starts from Kissamos and ends in Nopigia, several kilometers eastern. Telonio is located next to the most cosmopolitan part of Kissamos, at the position of the former Customs' Office and the current pedestrian seaside road with the most taverns and cafes. It is a nice pebbly and sandy beach with shallow water. Despite the short distance from the town, it is totally unorganized and seems abandoned. Telonio used to be the most popular beach of the area, several decades ago, however today it is sadly to see rusty umbrellas and rubbish on the beach It is a good choice for those who do not like crowds, but also want to have many amenities within walking distance. Livadia beach, Kissamos The beach of Livadia starts 1km east of Kissamos, next to the town stadium, and ends at the beach of Korfalonas. It is a small, 2km long, part of the vast beach that runs from Kissamos and ends in the Cape Rodopos. The beach, like all beaches in the neighboring area, is sandy and has some pebbles in places. It is open to the winds and the waters are not deep. It is not very well organized, but there are a few points with umbrellas, small hotels and restaurants. Due to its length, it always seems empty. It is a good choice in windless days and for those who want to find a quiet place to swim, but close to city amenities. Castel Chissamo, Kastelli in Kissamos, which in 1966 was renamed to Kissamos, is a small picturesque town built in the gulf of Kissamos or Myrtilos, between the peninsulas of Gramvousa and Spatha. The name derives from the Venetian fortress that was built there, remains of which still exist. The first fort of Kastelli was built by the Genoese pirate Henry Pescatore on the site of the ancient Kissamos, in the early 13th century, and was one of the 15 forts fortified by the Genoeses after 1204 AD. When the Venetians expelled Pescatore, the fortress fell into their possession. Then, they restored it and it became the defensive military center of the region. The shape of the fort was asymmetrical pentagon and, like all the Venetian fortresses, it included quartering areas, prisons, churches and a well. Since the early revolutions of the locals, the fortress of Kastelli Kissamos became a target of the rebels. When in 1262 the Cretans, with the help of the Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Palaeologus, rebelled against the Venetians, they tried to occupy the castle, but failed. During the revolutions of 1333 and 1341, the Venetians destroyed the settlement (bourg) that had developed around the fort, but later decided to rebuild it. From then on, the settlement was named Kastelli, like all bourgs on the island. In 1538, the fortress was destroyed by Barbarossa and was repaired in 1554. In 1583, the Castel Chissamo had 845 residents and in 1630 it had 35 cannons. In 1595 it was completely destroyed by an earthquake, but was rebuilt in 1635 by Lorenzo Contarini. In 1646 the Turks besieged the fort, which fell after the betrayal of the commander Giovani Medici, who gave up because the fortress had been severely damaged and most of his soldiers died by plague. The Turks repaired the fort immediately and started using it. In 1692, during the first Cretan revolution under the commands of the Venetian admiral Mochenigo Aloisio, the rebels occupied the fortress, but it lasted for a while. Thus, during the Ottoman occupation of Crete, the fortress was the center of many revolutionary activities. In 1821, the fort was used for imprisoning the Bishop of Kissamos Melchizedek Despotakis. From there, the Turkish mob dragged him to a square, for hanging him. When the revolution was generalized, the 1800 Turks of Kissamos found refuge in the fortress, which was besieged by rebels and two ships coming from Hydra island (near Athens). In February 1823, during the preparation for the landing of the new General Head of the Cretan Revolt, Emmanuel Tombazis, the rebels organized the clearing of Kissamos and Selino provinces, forcing the Turks to seek protection in the fort. Thus, the ship Terpsichore arrived at the port of Drapanias, transferring Tombazis and 600 Greek volunteers from the mainland of Greece. The Greeks besieged the fort till May 25, when the Turks surrendered the fort and their weapons. The Greek flag was raised after centuries in Crete, but it lasted for a while… The Turks moved to Chania, where they regrouped and returned to Kissamos. After a fierce battle, they managed to regain Castelli. In 1825, the fort returned into the hands of 900 Greeks, who came from Monemvasia (Peloponnese). They were initially heading towards Gramvousa fort, but the bad weather and the information that there were only 20 guards in Kissamos, led them to the siege the fortress at Castelli. However, after 3-4 days, 2000 Turks arrived in Castelli and reoccupied the fort. During the great revolution of 1866, the fort was again a target of the rebels. The fort was besieged by the Colonel Vyzantios and the Major Froudarakis, but the siege stopped when the latter was killed. In 1897-8, the story was repeated, but the Turks were rescued by the Great Powers, the “protectors” of the Cretan people. Today, the remains of the fort, most of which are remnants of the Turkish buildings, still stand in some places and remind us of its great past. Kissamos Archaeological Museum The archaeological Museum of Kissamos was founded in 2005 and is housed in the Venetian - Turkish monument known as Dikitirio ("Headquarters"). Its exhibits provide a longitudinal picture of the region's history from prehistory to late antiquity, i.e. the early Christian Times. The exhibition is divided into sections based on chronological and local criteria and covers the ground and first floor of the building. Downstairs, the Minoan findings from the excavations at Nopigia are presented (Geometric period, 9th-8th century BC) and focuses on the historical development of the major cities of western Crete: Polyrinia and Falassarna that flourished in the Hellenistic period (4th-1st century BC). It also presents pottery and ceramic findings from smaller local cities and settlements of the region, Hellenistic inscriptions and sculptures from the area of Kissamos, dating mostly to the Roman period (67 BC - 4th century AD). The first floor is dedicated to the town of Kissamos and the findings from local excavations. Here one can admire mosaic floors with interesting pictorial representations from urban villas of the Greco-roman Kissamos, amphorae and coins coming from trade, findings from workshops, everyday objects and findings from tombs of Falassarna and Polirinia, a burial of the second half of the 4th century BC, from the Roman and early Christian cemetery. Parthenos Monastery, Kissamos The monastery of Parthenos is a modern nunnery dedicated to Life Giving Spring. It was founded in 1905 and was renovated in 1962. Here operated the Urban School of Girls and the first Deaf school in Crete. Elafonissi beach Elafonisi is located 76km west of Chania and 5km south of Chrysoskalitisa Monastery, in the southwesternmost point of Crete. Elafonisi is an oblong, which often "breaks" in two parts by water giving the impression of being a separate island. Elafonisi is a Natura 2000 protected area. The island is full of dunes with sand lilies and jupiners (like-cedars trees). The endangered turtles careta careta and several rare animals nest on the island and it is strictly forbidden to remove any plants, animals and sand from the area. Exotic beaches with white sand and turquoise waters, reminding of the Caribbean, are formed on either sides of the peninsula. The sand is pinkish in many places, taking its color from thousands of broken shells. Near the “breaking” point of the peninsula, the water does not exceed 1m, creating a small lagoon, ideal for children. You can easily cross the lagoon in order to reach the “island”, having your staff with you, because the water is very shallow there. The eastern side of the beach, in front of the lagoon, is well organized and has the most people. There are umbrellas, showers, lifeguards, snack bars and changing rooms. Also, near the beach there is a huge area for parking and, even further, a few rooms to let. Opposedly, the beaches on either sides of the island are less crowded and are the most beautiful, with amazing azure colors. If you want to stay completely secluded or nude, you can walk along the peninsula until you find a quiet cove that you like! There are always many coves available for naturists. You can come by car (1.5 hours) or by bus from Chania. The road to Elafonisi is narrow and full of turns, but the beauty of the landscape is stunning. Moreover there are many options for accommodation and meals available at Chrisoskalitissa village, 5km north. Balos lagoon The famous lagoon of Balos is located approximately 56km northwest of Chania and 17km northwest of Kissamos, formed between the Cape Gramvousa and the small Cape Tigani and below the range of Platiskinos. Balos is surely the mostly photographed beach in Crete, a very favorite subject of all tourist guides for Greece. It is no coincidence that Prince Charles and Princess Diana visited Balos with their private yacht many years ago. Balos is famous for its turquoise waters, the wild natural beauty and the beautiful exotic scenery. During the summer, Balos is visited by thousands of people, who arrive mostly by the ferries running from Kissamos port. If you do not like crowds, you’d better avoid to visit the beach in July and August. Also, a perfect idea is to arrive at Balos in the morning, before the boats arrive from Kissamos. These few hours of remoteness in such a heavenly place will remain etched in your memory forever. The lagoon of Balos has white sand and exotic white, vivid blue and turquoise waters. The sea is very shallow and warm, ideal for young children. In many places the sand has a lovely pinkish color, because of millions of crushed shells. Beyond the rocks at the boundaries of the lagoon, the water is deeper and colder, ideal for a snorkeling. The lagoon and the wider area, with rare species of flora and fauna, are protected under the Natura 2000 program. Eleonora falcons, shags and cormorants nest in the caves of the area. Moreover, the area is a shelter for the protected monk seal and the sea turtle caretta caretta. Despite the protection, a primitive café and umbrellas have appeared on the beach in recent years. You can buy water from there and from the bars of the ferries. Some drawbacks of the lagoon is that the seabed is muddy and the shallow waters facilitate the growth of microorganisms, which sometimes cause an unpleasant smell. Lastly, the locals say that the sea currents transfer rubbish or tar to Balos. Falassarna Beach The exotic beach of Falassarna is located 59km west of Chania and 17km west of Kissamos. It’s located in the western part of Cape Gramvoussa. At the northern end of the beach are the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Falassarna. Falassarna bay is one of the most famous beaches in Greece, which has been awarded as the best beach of Crete and one of the 10 best beaches in Europe in the past. Falassarna spans a huge area and consists actually of five consecutive beaches, with the two most central being the most favorite. The sand in Falassarna is white, making the water color tropical. Indeed, if you're lucky and be here on a day that is not blowing from the west, rare in west Crete, you will be enchanted by the beach and its turquoise waters. The main beach of Falassarna is called Pacheia Ammos (i..e Coarse Sand). It is an exotic beach with a length of 1km and a width of 150m. This beach hosts the most visitors of the area, but because of its length it never seems crowded. The beach offers umbrellas and a few snack bars and cafes where you can get food and water. There are also services for water sports and a beach volley court. There is another long beach north of the main beach having a length of 800m, identical to the main beach, which is broken into several smaller beaches. This bay is divided in half by a sand dune and a few rocks. The beach is more quiet than Pacheia Ammos and offers no facilities. Nearby, there is the chapel of Agia Paraskevi and a spring with fresh water. Further north, near the archaeological site, there is a small cove looking south. It is pebbly and the seabed is rocky. It is a good choice when the winds blow from west or you seek isolation. South of Pacheia Ammos, at Livadi, there is another long beach that has sandy shore and rocky seabed. It is a very good choice for fans of the snorkelling. Livadi is surrounded by a very important wetland with ponds, which host many birds in winter. Even southern, near the small harbor of Limeniskos settlement there is a small pebbly beach, which is a good choice if you do not want to stay remote. The area around Falassarna is magnificent and is a Natura protected region. If you have time and looking for something romantic, you can wait for the sunset, which is considered the best in Crete. How could this not be the best, when being in such an amazing landscape and there is no obstacle between the beach the horizon? When it gets dark, you might be lucky to visit one of the several beach partys organized in Falassarna during summer. One drawback about Falasarna is that it looks west and is usually wavy. However, this is desired by windsurfers. There are also reports that the surrounding greenhouses pollute the sea with fertilizers and trash, which, if being true, is a real shame. If you do not have a mean to get in Falassarna, you can catch the bus from Chania or Kissamos.

The village of Kaloudiana offers mini markets, tavern, kiosk, kafenia, pharmacy and local bus stop.

Reasons that my room will like: the view, the location, the people and the environment. My space is suitable for couples and activities for a person.

Giorgos' son Vasilis acted as host. He spoke good English, was relaxed, friendly and gave us all the information we needed. He had a friend Manos who had just opened a new taverna nearby, which we enjoyed visiting and was very reasonably priced. A walk into the gorge was a must and the best beaches are 40mins to 1 hour away, but the journey is an experience in itself and well worth it. The property is for those seeking peace and quiet... and something a little different. We loved being there. We'd have never known it was peak season.... until we arrived at Elafonissi!

Jeremy2016-08-24T00:00:00Z

Wonderful place in Rokka! The house is perfect, very clean and the terrace offers breathtaking views! Giorgos is a great host, check in was easy and he was always available to help.

Romain2017-01-12T00:00:00Z

Warm welcome with Horticultural raki and some sweet!

Natasja2016-08-12T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Giorgo's place was amazing. His son, Vasilis, welcomed us. The view from the balcony is beautiful - mountains and valleys from end to end. There are old town ruins - some even going back to ancient greek times - only steps away, and very secluded (about 10-12 minutes up in the hills from from the main coast road. The place itself is rustic and beautiful, and includes a fully equiped kitchen (most appliances/cabinets looked brand new) and very spacious bedroom (firm/hard mattress), and there's even an old fashioned fire pit/place (which wasn't needed even though we visited in November).

Christian2016-11-12T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay here, it was the perfect location in the little village of Rocca, quite and peaceful and lovely to sit outside in the evenings. Vasilis, Giorgos's son met us and took us up to the apartment and had left us little treats, and also brought us some baklava during our stay. It was very clean and we had been left fresh flowers too. We would really recommend this place.

Sarah2017-04-12T00:00:00Z

Really nice spot, good equipment in the apartment, very nice view from the beautiful terasse Some cakes and local welcome gift We recommand this place

Thomas2016-10-14T00:00:00Z

Rokka and Giorgios place was exactly what we were looking for. A little piece of heaven away from crowded tourist spots. A place where you welcome a new day from a terrace, sitting and sipping aromatic greek coffee, watching sun beams slowly brightening olive groves and observing flying high birds of prey. It’s a place where you end your day with an excellent supper in nearby tavern, with a glass full of raki and bright stars glittering over you across the night sky. And the nights are calm and peaceful, yet full of silent ringing of goats' bells. Vasilis was very helpful and communicative host, who brought us some local treats and was good guide with nearby places. Thank You for sharing with us this amazing place!

Marcin2016-09-12T00:00:00Z

We were warmly received. There was a bottle of olive oil and some nice present for us and we learned about the equipment present. The house has no address, but after a phone call they were quickly on the spot to receive us. It is a stunning location. Tranquility and natural beauty! What a great view, the pictures do not lie. We enjoyed. If your activities and crowds on holiday wish you should not be here. In the village Rokka is not present, a bakery or supermarket you have to drive about 8 km. Nearby are some restaurants / taverns where you can eat well. The family is easily accessible by telephone with questions or problems and respond immediately. We recommend it wholeheartedly!

The historical, aristocratic house 'Anagnostis' surrounded by olive groves is situated in the beautiful village of Deliana, 15 min. from the sandy beaches and 30 min. from the town of Chania.

Esther was extremely welcoming and thoughtful. She even made us a delicious traditional dinner that was ready upon our very late arrival. When a little issue with the AC came up, she responded immediately. The pool was gorgeous and the house immaculate.

sonja2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

This beautiful detached house in the gorgeous mountains full of olive trees has stolen our hearts. Here time stands still. The wooden floors in the dining room, carefully selected furniture, black and white family photographs depicting parts of the history of Crete and Greece, the renovated modern bathrooms and kitchen, make it all a home away from home. The pool and the terrace are everything you dream for. Deliana, 200 meters up the road, is a sweet calm village. There is a great tavern (open till late) and a small neat supermarket. The beach and fishingvillage of Kolimbary is just a 15 minutes drive down the (easy to drive) road. So thank you to the owners Dimitri and Esther; we would love to come again!

fiona2015-09-11T00:00:00Z

Our staying at Deliana was great. We were two families with 2 children each. Albeit remote from Heraklion airport, the village is nice and quiet, and the taverna "To Faragi" was a great place to eat. Good places to hike, and great beaches are located at reasonable driving distance. The house was beautiful and well kept, and we certainly recommend it.

Yoav2016-10-21T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic time at Esther and Demitri's place in Deliana. The villa itself is lovely and very spacious and was perfect for our needs. The villa is steeped in history, but has all the modern requirements you might need. The pool is lovely and quite secluded so you don't feel at all overlooked, and kitchen is fully equipped for your needs. There is even an outdoor BBQ area which we used. The taverna in Deliana is lovely! We went to To Feraggi most evenings and enjoyed it very time. Family run and great food. Plenty of Greek customers so it must be good! There's also a local shop which has all the basics. Chania is around 45 mins away and we explored the gorge in the village as well as visiting beaches near Kissamos, as well as Falasarna (40 mins or so) and Elifonisi (an hour - but fascinating cross country drive!) We hope to be back! Thanks Esther & Demitri!

Max2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

We stayed at little treasure as a couple in August 2015. We were blown away by the beauty of the villa - decorated in classic Cretan style with beautiful gardens. The pool is fantastic and totally private. The local village is really friendly and you can get ideal Greek food, home cooked and delicious. Esther and Dimitris were gracious and friendly hosts - they made sure we had everything we needed and were looked after properly. We hired a car and suggest you do too. We cannot wait to return!

Adam2015-08-05T00:00:00Z

We stayed with our two children two glorious weeks in the Villa of Esther and Dimitri. An ideal starting point for long trips in western Crete. The pool and the large garden, the hotel offers also cozy days at home enough variety. said a word: We are thrilled! Jürg, Antonia with Julius and Aida

Paula is a lovely, happy, warmhearted person that made our stay a perfect vacation but also a meaningful experience. Paula, Mr. Panagiotis and her son Giwrgos were very kind to provide us with the smallest details about their area and really helped us to design the perfect tour around the island. I have to say that we were delighted to try delicious food prepared by Paula, oranges and cactus from her garden, as well as traditional pastry with honey and of course Rakumelo drink I would strongly recommend you to stop a Paula’s cozy home is you want to experience family like Greek hospitality. Thank you Paula,Panagiotis and Giwrgos!!! You are very very nice people and we are looking forward to see you soon!

Paula is a host as we did little, kindness, generosity and discretion. The accommodation it offers is more suitable for independent living and very pleasant. We would eyes closed!

raphaël2016-12-24T00:00:00Z

Paula and the rest of his family are very warm and very welcoming (we arrived, Paula had cooked us a Cretan breakfast !!). Over coffee, she dedicated time for us to give us the good places to visit. This is a lovely family, always ready to help and advise us. It was a real pleasure to taste the delicious cuisine of Paula and their specialties like the "mid katchikaki potatoes" from his organic farm products and chat with the whole family. (Their olive oil is one of the best I've ever tasted). On housing, nothing to say. It corresponded exactly to our expectations and provides an excellent quality / price ratio. Very good location to visit the west of the island. Place that I highly recommend!

Nadia2016-10-07T00:00:00Z

If you want to explore the western coastline of Chania this is the perfect place to stay. It is located in a tiny village but its location is key and devoid of traffic. The place was outstandingly clean, with all the necessary amenities provided. Our hosts however transformed our idea of Greek hospitality. Even before we arrived they contacted us to make sure we didn't get lost and afterwards they offered us invaluable information as well as fresh fruit, eggs, wine and they even cooked for us. It was all selfless and came from their hearts and they made us fall in love with Crete. When our working schedule permits it we will definitely go back.Definitely the place to unwind!

Marouska2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

Paula has been an extremely lovely host and took care in every imageable way making us feel truly welcome and we enjoyed every aspect of her hospitality. The little flat has been nicely presented with the kitchen and the bath well organized and immaculate clean. If you would like to stay in a nice little apartment in a typical Cretan village, this is the best if can get. Location excellent with the essentials (groceries, bakery, taverna) only a short walk away down the road. Excellent base to explore the mountain side and also the (at the time empty) beaches (20mins drive), nice less touristic environment, which hope to carry on. Also very good value indeed! Highly recommended! We hope to return to Paula in the not too distant future. Thank you so much Paula!

Frank2017-05-17T00:00:00Z

A very warm welcome by a very generous family who loves to share and exchange! Paula takes to heart ... we receive advice on places to visit and great homemade Cretan dishes !! A lasting memory !!

Justine2016-09-13T00:00:00Z

Paola is a very kind and generous host, a pleasure to meet her. the apartment is pretty, very clean and despite the modest dimensions it has everything you need for cooking and feel comfortable. the location is strategic to reach all the beautiful destinations of west Crete. with our baby we have missed a little green spot to let him crawling outside and the village around is not picturesque as we had dreamt of..but this is often the case in (URL HIDDEN) in that sense, yes, it is a traditional village: -) thank you Paula!!!

Emanuele2017-04-13T00:00:00Z

The best holiday we ever had! Due to the hospitality of Paula and Panagiotis, who received us as a part of the family, our vacations were especially comfortable and enjoyable. The unforgettable taste of boureki, cooked from vegetables from own garden, with goat meat and homemade wine is still in our memory:-) Not to forget your tasty breakfast with fresh orange juice from oranges from your garden) Thank you very much for showing us the neighbourhood and acquainting us with greek countryside and greek culture. Our daughter Laura was so happy playing with Bruce and driving motobike with Panagiotis:-) Hope to see your again, with best regards Juri, Svetlana and Laura.

Very nice people! Clean and tidy. Relaxing and quiet place.

Dionysi2016-08-31T00:00:00Z

During our short stay (we were there just one night) we enjoyed warm welcome from Maria and Dimitris (Panagiotis parents), beautiful garden, tasteful home made cookies and raki... Accommodation is the same as described, but we have just one remark: beds could be longer, for tall people (1,90m+). Overall, everything was great.

Zoran2016-09-10T00:00:00Z

Really nice apartment and very kind host. Totally reccomended. :)

Valentina2016-09-26T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed Panagiotis' place during our short stay on the area. The apartment is big enough for a party of 4 or 6, and it's perfectly located on the countryside very close to several beaches. His parents are very nice and welcoming and did everything to make us feel like family. Thanks!

Francisco2016-09-14T00:00:00Z

The place was fine, 7 minutes drive from Kissamos. We didn't meet Panagiotis but we met his parents and they were really kind and helpfull. There is a huge garden around the house with all kinds of vegetables and fruits which Panagiotis dad showed us around. The place it's self was spacious with basic kitchen utensils, one double bed and two single beds in separated rooms. It is semi lower ground so not a lot of sun coming through the windows but there is a nice patio on the front to sit and enjoy nature.

Polina2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

We were very to get an other room because the kitchen equiment was in an very bad condition in our first room. Futher more is it very frustrating when the hosts speak no english, especially when there are conflicts. At the end we had an pleasant stay Giri Rikkers

Giri2016-08-25T00:00:00Z

Beautiful place in a quiet area. Perfect to go to Elafonisi, Balos and Falassarna. The room is like the pictures, very clean with everything we need, very welcoming people who gave us some advice about the good places to visit. We recommend this Airbnb.

Léna2016-09-02T00:00:00Z

This is a great location if you want to drive to Balos and Elafonissi beach. The room is spacious and comfortable. The hosts are nice and we enjoyed being in the village surrounded by olive trees. The nearest town is a five minute drive with everything you need!

Korfalonas Apartment is located a sort distance from the city center of Kissamos. It is located 32 klm from the city of Chania. The sea is 3 minutes drive from the Apartment. The balcony offers panoramic views stretching from the White Mountains to the crystal clear waters of Korfalonas bay. It is ideally located close to the pristine beaches of Balos, Fassarna and Elafonissi.

Its a modern one bedroom apartment which can comfortably accommodate up to 4 persons. The common area includes a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, stove and cutlery, while the living room area offers a pull- out sofa, Tv and air conditioning. The bathroom has an enclosed shower, modern fixtures and a washer.

The apartment is close enough to Kissamos city where you can enjoy an evening out at wonderful restaurants and bars as well as enjoy shopping for both traditional products and handmade gifts by local artisans, while at the same time enjoying the serenity of Cretan nature surrounding this apartment. It is ideally located close to the pristine beaches of Balos, Fassarna and Elafonissi.

the house and the balcony was really dirty. the kitchen was TOTALLY empty, we have to ask at least for plates and and cutlery that they took from another apartment in the same building (so you have to be lucky to choose the apartment and hope that the another one is free!). We have to buy oil, salt, sugar etc (just for 2nights) and we couldn't wash dishes (2plates, 2 forks and 1spoon totally) beacuse there wasn't soap, sponge and the necessary stuff. The towels was for one person and we advice that we are 2! For internet just when we arrived in the apartment we were informed that "the modem is broken from a few days" and the connection never appear, I would like to know before the arrive and not after! the sea view is not so amazing like the photo because between the apartment and the house you see a big statal street, plastic pavilion for plants and the sea is not so clear like it appear in the photo. The host was really available for the keys and we had not any problems to contact her, but for that price, compared with the other ones, it was really an expensive apartment and for the internet absence we have to pay the entire price anyway. The apartment is near supermarket and the little city, but you have to take the statal street to reach the little center.

tiziana2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

We stayed 5 nights in Virginia's apartment in Korfalonas. The location is very food if you have a car : very close to Kissamos but away from the noise of the town. A good spot to go to Falassarna, Balos, Chania, Elafonissi. We also went to Omalos plateau/Samaria gorge from there (stunning). The apartment is recent, comfortable, with a very good air conditioning, equiped kitchen, a balcony with a nice view on the see. Close to the road but well insonorized, as we did not hear it at all. Virginia is very friendly, answers quickly to messages and gave us good advice on what to do and where to eat in the area. Where we arrived we found wine and water bottles which is a nice attention from her.

Mieszkanie jest czyste i ładne, domyślnie jest to, że jeśli miał zamiar zjeść w sprzęt do gotowania brakuje. Czajnik dla tych, którzy lubią herbatę będzie również mile widziane. Jednak powitanie Michalis był miły i na szczęście podjął do mieszkania, ponieważ nie było łatwe do znalezienia w nocy !!

Niki's apartment 1 offers accommodation just 300 m from the sea in a tranquil area 4km east of the town of Kissamos. Our rooms is an ideal destination for everyone who desires calmness, relaxing and quietness. Our place is convenient for day trips to the famous beaches of Falasarna and Balos, as well as to Polyrinia and Elafonisi. Within proximity, you can find shops, super markets, restaurants, taverns with fresh fish and Cretan traditional dishes, cafes and many other conveniences.

Very spacious apartment, well equipped. The only bad point was that the WiFi wasn't working. Niki is really kind. I recommend!

Vincent2016-08-23T00:00:00Z

A very good apartment, clean from the kitchen to the bathroom and a comfortable bedroom. A warm welcome from Niki with a home made jam and an excellent omelet the morning after. The flat is near the Falassarna beach wich was pretty convenient for us. There was a problem with the Wi-Fi but she fixed it quickly. We highly recommend to stay at Niki's house in Drapanias ! Chloe & Gilles

Gilles2016-09-30T00:00:00Z

Niki's apartment is a very clean and comfotable place to stay. Everything is modern and new. From the big kitchen you can see her chickens, palms and trees and a few hundert meter further also the sea. Niki is a very friendly and kind person, she gave us eggs and handmade bread and sweets. From this apartment you can easily reach Kissamos, Balos and Falasanar. Thank you for everything Niki, we enjoyed to stay at your place!

Valeria2016-09-03T00:00:00Z

Spotkaliśmy się przypadkowo spotkać właściciela Niki jak byliśmy bezcelowo zamiar zatrzymać. Jest udowodnione, od samego początku bardzo przyjazny, witając nas w swojej strukturze, która jest bardzo blisko do najlepszych plaż na wyspie, w tym uroczym Falassarna laguny i Elafonissi. Niki jest bardzo przyjazny wobec nas, doradzając nam, co warto zobaczyć i znaleźliśmy się jak rodzina. Będziemy z powrotem tak szybko, jak to możliwe i na pewno zdecydowanie polecam wszystkim spróbować Apartment Niki! Jeszcze raz dziękujemy za wszystko pokazano nam gościnność ❤ Ps: doskonałe wifii dostępu

It was great being at this nice place. Great pool and great atmosphere. The staff was very friendly we had trouble with our car and they helped us excellent.

Niek2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

My stay at trevezian apartments was magical! All the staff are extremely welcoming and kind, nothing is to much or to big for them to deal with. Ria is extremely prompt in replying to any questions you may have about the area. The apartments are clean, and beautiful. The only thing I would say is that if you are staying here it is in your beat interest to rent some form of transport as its not easy to get around especially if you want to go to all the nice beaches

Savanna2016-08-11T00:00:00Z

The host's hospitality, or rather one of his employees, was fast and polite. The accommodation was in good condition. The only drawback perhaps the difficulty in locating the building. Great breakfast and availability.

silvia2016-07-21T00:00:00Z

great welcome, great staff, great environment but has a little away from the city (having a car is better), dream property, 500 m sea, we really had a pleasant stay

Maxime2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

Thank you very much for this night. We had with my girlfriend awesome trip to Balos beach. And we needed rest before our next trip to Elafonisi beach. Apartment was really nice. Room was also awesome. (Big, cleaned) everything was really nice. At morning we got breakfast next to pool. Really nice place. I can recommend this place.
