The staff at Galini Beach were incredibly kind and helpful! They helped us book an excursion to the Lagoon and gave us instructions for the local buses. The beach is beautiful and having sunbeds was a nice bonus.

Sunny bay is a beautiful hotel located right on the beach in Kissamos. I was immediately welcomed by staff and given a free upgrade to a room with a view of the sea. The rooms are spacious and immaculate. They have a restaurant and pool on the property as well. Sunny bay also offers their guests a shuttle service as well. I would definitely come back!

Elina was wonderful -- from a friendly welcome to leaving a detailed, hand-written note answering our questions and offering tips for our stay. Winter means many things are closed, but we loved the peaceful walks and enjoyed the local, home cooked food.

Kissamos itself as a town is nothing special but it has some seafront tavernas and its location makes it a good base to explore the local area - in particular to take a boat trip around to Balos bay and lagoon which is highly recommended, including a stop at Gramvousa island to walk up to the castle. It's also a short drive over the hill to Falasarna bay for a closer nice beach option with sunbeds. Kissamos beach is rather scraggy looking compared to other more scenic options locally!

Great villa in characterful village with easy access to the coast and beaches. The villa is well positioned and the owners have clearly gone out of their way to provide every amenity for their guests. Book it.

Kissamos is not really a tourist town - yet, but has all that you need for self-catering and a reasonable selection of tavernas and cafes. It is ideal as touring base. A car is pretty much essential though there are buses.
Near the Hermes hotel there is a lovely sandy beach plus useful tavernas and cafes. Safe water in the small bay makes it good for children.

Crete is a big Island.
Crete is a big Island. We decided for a relax holiday so we didn't go to eraklion to see the Knosso Micean Museum, but ne day we went to Xania/Cania and it's a very nice town with a millenial history with very interssant museum. There is also a small museum in Kissamos with nice big mosaic coming form a roman villa. Near Kissamos there is also the archeological site of Falisarna d Polyrennia 2 important cities thet were destroyed form and earthquake in 325AC.
For a relax point of view we went twice to Balos lagoon once by car, once by boat, both are worthy.
In case of Meltemi wind it's preferrable to go to Elafonissi beach or Flaisarna whiche are better protected.

The location was perfect for a walk into Kissamos, a short drive to Falassarna Beach and also to the amazing Balos Beach.
The staff were excellent and amongst the friendliest we've met.
Hotel clean, lovely pool, plenty of parking, good choice of food with a lovely view over the bay.
The Beach is decent enough to chill and swim.
Our family room was bigger than I had expected.
I would definitely consider this if we stay in this part of the island again.
We had a lovely stay at the Kissamos Hotel. Excellent value for money from the impeccable cleanliness and comfort to the welcoming and friendly personnel. The swimming pool is also a big plus. Very good position for visiting the west side of the island and easily walkable to the local seafront where there are sandy beaches, restaurants and bars. We fully recommend without hesitation.
That was wonderful holiday on Crete. This hotel offers high quality of service. What was really enjoyable is the hotel's beach and the swimming pool. Their bar team serves nice cocktails and good wine. Special thanks to Yanis, the administrator, who gave us a better room with a sea view and helped with booking a trip to Balos.
Luxury apartment in the new area of Kissamos where new holiday apartments are being built. The apartment was big and comfortable, with two large terraces. Very conveniently it is equipped with a washing machine and soap. An excellent base to visit places on the western parts of Crete.
The Hotel is super cute seems very familiar. The stuff was really super friendly and helpful! The location is amazing the beach is 5min walking away and the most beautiful beaches of Crete are in the surrounding! I would definitely book it again.
