Local guide
About Kissamos
Despite its idyllic coastline, Kissamos has remained relatively hidden from the crowds of tourists that descend on Crete each summer. 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...
