Kissamos, Crete

Kissamos

Families and couples exploring western Crete who prefer a local town to a busy resort.

Kissamos offers a local town setting in western Crete, with restaurants, cafés and everyday life alongside the coast. It provides an alternative to the busier resorts nearer Chania.

Falasarna can form a separate beach outing, and Kissamos harbour is a departure point for Balos boat trips. Confirm current arrangements. Choose the town for a western itinerary rather than an extensive nightlife scene; Chania offers a different evening routine.

Our tip

If Balos and Falasarna lead your plans, compare Kissamos as a base. Check the chosen access to Balos and expect a quieter evening than in Chania.
