We had a wonderful family holiday (3 adults and 2 kids) staying at Ioannis' place. The villa is clean, spacious and they are wonderful hosts. Even bringing us fresh eggs one day. We had complete privacy but Ioannis was on hand if we needed anything. Kissamos is an excellent base to explore the West of Crete by car and we made day trips to falasarna, elofanisi, chania and the mountain villages. There are also beaches within 5 mins drive so you can stay local if preferred. Kissamos is a working town and not entirely focussed on tourism which gives a real flavour of cretan life. Highly recommend and we will be back!
