West Crete

Our holidays nestle between two mountainous peninsulas stretching out into the Mediterranean Sea and marking the northwest corner of Crete. This sheltered Bay of Kissamos is outstanding for its long quiet strand of golden, sandy beaches.

Beyond the coastal plain, just inland is the delightful hill village of Astrikas, also a centre for our holidays, the backdrop is mountainous and breaks into gorges and silver craggy peaks. This provides for many easy-grade walks, the chance to see birds of prey, vultures, migrants and wild flowers and old rural ways like treading grapes.

While we are beyond the tourist strip, Chania town and Samaria Gorge are still in easy reach.
