Wonderful little apartment, perfect for a couple or small family holiday. Kissamos was un-touristy, which is what we were looking for, and a great place to base ourselves to explore western Crete. Definitely a location that needs a car to maximise the exploring opportunities but very easy to find from Chania airport (about 30-40min drive)

Nantia met us on our arrival with an extremely generous welcome package - Tea, coffee, cereal, yoghurt, home grown oranges, lemons and tomatoes, home made olive oil and honey as well as some extra groceries after our long trip such as water and milk and also her mother had made us a sampling of a Cretan lentil dish that we thoroughly enjoyed.

Nantia also provided us with excellent recommendations for local restaurants - a highlight is Gramboussa, on the way to Balos beach, open only on weekends outside of tourist season - definitely try the lamb with honey in filo pastry and the roast piglet from the wood oven! She also directed us to the not to be missed sights of western Crete - Balos beach with its spectacular views and Elafonisi Beach with its pink sands.

Apartment was clean and well kept, very well stocked and had easy to use equipment also. Quiet area - perfect for a little relaxation, a highlight was sitting in the sunshine outside under the lemon trees sipping a beer before we went out for dinner.

Would definitely recommend.
