The seaview of the large terrasse is indeed mindblowing! The neighborhood is very calm, safe and I got familiar with it soon. A car is really needed though, to get groceries or go out in Kissamos. The town has a wide range of fine, traditional restaurants. This place is a perfect basis to explore the west of the island: endless striking hikes in the mountains, the white mountains and the ocean always in sight from the sumits. The careabian like lagoon Balos Beach is not far, the small museum of Kissamos is cureated excellently. It exposes some remarcable objects and gives you an idea of the past of the region around Kissamos. and There are many other attractions in the area.
The small hotel is family run and I was able to stay before the season started when there were hardly other guests. In the summer it also runs a well recognized restaurant. I felt very welcome and had a fantastic time. Antonis is a wonderful host and his his family takes loving care for the place. The room is very spacious and has a second balcony where the morning sun comes in nicely. I did not want to leave...
