Kissamos, Gramvousa en Balos

Kissamos is located at the far north-west end of the island. This part of the island resembles the more rugged south Crete a lot and here you still find the original Crete as this area is more unspoiled and not so developed for tourism. It is a charming and beautiful area. Within short distances you find the famous beaches of Falasarna, Elafonissi, Balos and Gramvousa. The small town of Kissamos has many tavernas, shops and supermarkets. Outside Kissamos to the other side you find the harbour of Kissamos where there are local boats to Balos and Gramvousa and a ferry to Peleponnisos on the Greek mainland. This is the right place for those who seek calm rugged beauty.
