Kamilari - Kalamaki

Hotels and apartments

This typical Cretan farming village, just over one and a half hour’s drive from Heraklion, has kepts its original character, and remains largely untouched by tourism. Kamilari is picturesquely set on a hill, with fabulous panoramic views over the Ida mountains, over the fruitful Messara plain and to the sea beyond.

Thanks to Greek hospitality, the warm welcome given to children and rural village life, it is the sort of place where one quickly feels at home. Alongside the small shops there are Greek tavernas and Kafeneions which will give you a flavour of Cretan village life.

Around the village there are lots of places to explore, perhaps by setting off on foot along some of the country footpaths, or going further afield by car. Among some of the possible outings to choose from are the Minoan archaeological sites at Phaistos and Agia Triada, only 3 km away,

Matala with its famous cliff side caves, numerous old monasteries, the mountain village of Zaros with its trout farm, and a gorge which is comparable to the well known Samaria Gorge and well worth exploring. For those seeking the sea, the kilometre long sandy beach of Kalamaki is 2,5 km away, with its cliff sides and wooden areas, as well as the 12 km sandy beach of Komos. At both of these places there are further tavernas, little shops, Pensions and holiday homes.
