The 10 Best Things to do Good for Couples in Kissamos, Crete
Kissamos (Greek: Κίσσαμος) is a town and municipality, multiple (former) bishopric and Latin titular see in the west of the island of Crete, Greece. It is part of the Chania regional unit and of the former Kissamos Province which covers the northwest corner of the island. The city of Kissamos is also known as Kastelli Kissamou and often known simply as Kastelli after the Venetian castle that was there. It is now a port and fishing harbour, with a regular ferry from the Peloponnese via Kythira. A town museum is located in the old Venetian governor's palace and there have been important archaeological finds in the town, including fine mosaics, dating from the Roman city of Kisamos (Κίσαμος, Latinized as Cisamus). The head town of the municipality (Δήμος Κισσάμου) is Kastelli-Kissamos itself.

I've been to Crete at least a dozen times. The people are wonderful, the culture fascinating, the landscape awe-inspiring and the food, the food - fabulous. I've been to many parts of the island - Maria, Stalis, Bali and Georgiopolis in the north, Matala and Agia Galini in the south and Kalo Nero in the south east where friends lived for a few years. I've visited caves and churches, gorges and beaches and several ancient sites. This year, I went further west. From Kissamos, we took a Cretan Cookery course. Picked up by mini-bus from our rented villa we spent five hours with a multi-national like-minded group of 11 people learning how to prepare a dozen or so Cretan dishes. Taught by a wonderful mother and daughter team (one a great cook, one with great English) we then had a tour of the farm / love groves / herb garden / wine store before enjoying the fruits of our labours. Later, the recipes were emailed to us. This was truly a highlight of all my times on Crete.

I had an airport pick up and return booked Aug 19th return Aug 23rd. The service couldn't have been better. The driver was waiting for me at arrivals with a sign with my full name on it so it was easy to find the driver. The people carrier (only me and driver) was extremely clean, once the luggage was loaded i was offered hand sanitiser which the driver and I both used as we got into the vehicle. we both wore face masks during the 50 minute journey. Upon arrival I was helped with my luggage and the return pick up time was confirmed. The return journey, although a different driver and different car, all the precautions etc were the same, the car was immaculate and driver professional. I could not fault anything with this taxi firm. Extremely clean, very professional and on time. I would very much recommend this company and will look to use the company on my return journey June 2021.
10. Balos Lagoon
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 10,155 reviews
Reviewed By marcotL403QV - Rome, Italy
The most beautiful beach in Creta (together with Elafonisi) and famous for its wild nature, with turquoise waters and white sands turning to amazing shades of pink in some places. Waters are shallow, perfect for kids and lovely for grownups too. A legendary lagoon is also worth stopping by. Beware the boats throwing thousands of tourists in the middle of the day, although that is a very practical way to reach the place without going by car on a bumpy road. Ferries go back and forth from Kissamos port, but there are multiple trips during summer time, so I’d recommend to take the earliest trip available and then move to the island of Gramvousa nearby when the beach gets too crowded !
