Holiday homes & apartments
in Keratokambos

Our life in this beautiful villa almost exclusively took place on the balcony with a sensational view. The villa is fully equipped with a filter coffee machine, toaster, kettle etc. A small path leads down to the beach and in the evenings further to Keratokampos/Kastri to the restaurant. We particularly enjoyed the walk back in the dark in a beautiful atmosphere. The landlord couple welcomed us warmly and even said goodbye with a delicious meal. We will definitely come back!

As repeat offenders, we were once again in this beautiful holiday home Petrino in Keratokampos this year! And this time too, the holiday was simply perfect. The house offers everything we could have wished for: proximity to the sea (about 60 meters), tranquility, a lovely terrace (so many seating areas and the views are stunning everywhere), a washing machine, a stove (even with a ceramic hob), and everything a person needs to feel comfortable. We would also like to highlight the quiet air conditioning (we only used the one in the bedroom, but all rooms have one) and the comfortable bed (not too hard and not too soft) in the bedroom. In the evenings, we enjoyed walking to the village of Keratokampos for dinner. There are about 4 taverns here, all right by the sea and very cheap and delicious. Additionally, there are two small supermarkets here, as well as in the neighboring village of Kastri, where you can get everything you need. A car is essential, but you are far away from tourist overcrowding, and you practically have the beach to yourself. The beach is stony (beach shoes), but only the beach itself - in the water, you stand on normal sand. This time, we also hiked through the famous Samaria Gorge, but we recommend to fellow hikers to arrive a day in advance as the drive takes about 3.5 hours. You can book this hike guided - so you are picked up by a bus in Chania and brought back there. For us, it was a tiring but also breathtakingly beautiful experience.

We stayed in this lovingly furnished holiday home from September 05 to 16, 2020 and had a wonderfully beautiful vacation here. The house has a fantastic terrace with plenty of seating and a splendid view of the sea and the mountains. Nothing was missing, on the contrary - homemade Raki and some refreshments were waiting for us in the fridge :-) We would also like to highlight the hospitality of the owners! The key handover was quick and warm, we could reach them by phone at any time, and they even invited us to a delightful barbecue evening with homemade local delicacies! We simply felt comfortable and highly recommend this house. Keratokampos is a very small, authentic Greek holiday resort right by the sea. There is little tourism here, which we found very pleasant. The beach is a bit rocky, like many beaches in Crete (water shoes!), but you don't have to search for a free spot. There are four tavernas in the village or the adjacent village where we often had inexpensive dinners right by the sea. Everything is still cooked and seasoned "by hand" - incredibly tasty! There were also two small supermarkets that had everything we needed. A vehicle is essential if you don't want to miss the surrounding sights (Lassithi Plateau, Matala, Mires, Elounda, Spinalonga, etc.).
