Go back in time and explore the treasure of the past on your Kissamos holiday. The Chania region is full of history and ancient remnants. The Archaeological Museum of Kissamos will allow you to delve into the history and culture of Crete. The Rotunda of Michael Archangelos is one of the area’s most impressive landmarks, while a visit to the fascinating old town of Chania will allow you to experience even more of the area’s history.
If you’re keen to explore the local environment, you’ll come across some outstanding natural wonders. The well-known Cave of Agia Sophia near Kissamos is a remarkable sight, full of twisted stalagmites and stalactites. The Sirikari Gorge that runs from the village of Sirikari down to Polyrrinia can be explored on a three hour walk, where you will see a wealth of beautiful plants and as well as wild animals. Another gorge, the Keramari Gorge near to near Kissamos, is the entrance to the traditional village of Milia.

Beaches
The lure of the ocean has never been greater than on Kissamos holidays. There is a wonderful choice of beaches to descend upon, all promising immense indulgence on glorious soft sands and in the warm, clear waters of the Aegean. Separated by a canal, there are two beaches in Kissamos, the pebbly Telonio beach to the east and the sandy Mavros Molos in the west.
Nearby, Balos Beach and lagoon is an undeniably idyllic setting. Known for its remarkable blue waters, it’s perfectly calm and great for little ones to splash around. Kedrodasos Beach and Sfinari Beach will provide even more satisfaction for beach bums searching for thrills and spills in the sun, including water sports.
An hour’s drive away in the south west of Crete, sits the beach of Elafonissi with its magical pink sand. It’s a very popular beach and the unique sands are definitely worth seeing, as is the islet of Elafonissi, which is separated from the mainland by a pretty lagoon.
