Offering a poolside pergola and a rooftop terrace for at-home hang-outs, you'll enjoy the flow of indoor-outdoor living here.

Local guide


About Kissamos

It’s mainly locals you’ll see wandering the narrow streets here, but that’s not to say that this place is totally untouched by tourism. Stroll down to Telonio Beach’s cobbled promenade and you’ll find plenty of seaside tavernas serving hearty Cretan fare, as well as a smattering of bars and clubs...
