Accommodation
We work with a number of tested and trusted accommodation providers around West Crete.
For most of our active group trips, accommodation is provided in a a locally run guest house set on a hill in a village about 4km outside Kissamos, with stunning panoramic views. The building is a traditional village house which has been recently renovated and consists of individual rooms and apartments within the same building. There is an incredible outdoor terrace where you will enjoy meals and drinks with your group.
Accommodation as standard will be in same-sex twin share rooms with a private bathroom located close to your bedroom. There are, however, a range of different rooms available, some larger, with en-suites or with better views; these will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
For family itineraries, or on request, another accommodation option – located in the town of Kissamos – is in a family run, 3* beachside hotel with swimming pool. Rooms are comfortable, clean and offer pool or side sea views. A delicious fresh breakfast is offered each morning in the communal spaces and the hotel also has a bar with light snacks available during the day. The hotel is located in a quiet residential area just on the outskirts of Kissamos town, and is easily walkable to beaches, tavernas, bars, cafes and shops.
Our standard accommodation choice is for shared rooms with twin beds, although single rooms (supplementary cost) or double beds (e.g. for couples) can be requested.
For tours that include accommodation in other locations around Crete and West Crete, our preference is for twin rooms in family run rooms, small hotels or occasionally country villas. Amenities of course vary place to place. We always prioritise comfort, cleanliness and location to ensure you get a friendly welcome and a good night’s rest. Waking up to a great view is the cherry on top.
We are happy to provide full details of the chosen accommodation for your specific trip on request. Arranging your own accommodation is also possible on request. Please note that our accommodation choice is flexible, so if you have a strong preference for a specific accommodation we may be able to accommodate that – ask us!
