Kalamaki is a little, quiet village with a wonderful long beachfront. The apartment was perfect, even more beautiful than on the picture. Everything is modern, tastefully decorated and the big terrace is just amazing. It is right on the beach, and we loved the breathtaking view, particularly the gorgeous sunsets. Our host was Zabia, she was super nice, helpful, very reactive and had filled the fridge with yoghurts, fruits and numerous other appreciated welcome attentions (wonderful olive oil!!)!
Although it is 10 meters from the beach and above a restaurant, the apartment is very quiet and you can’t hear anything else than the wonderful sound of the waves. Speaking of the restaurant downstairs (Delfinia) , we highly recommend it for tasteful meals.
The Kalamaki beach and Komos beach are not only beautiful (with a nudist part at Komos beach) but are also the home of sea turtles. We were lucky to see one laying her eggs and returning to sea on a full moon night. That will be an unforgettable memory!
The Cretans are very friendly, easygoing and contrary to what we had read, the streets are well maintained and it is easy and safe to drive.
Thanks for the unforgettable holiday in Crete. We will be back!
