Casa Kamara

We had a great time at Casa Kamara – everything was clean, neat and thoughtfully arranged, the kind of place that makes you feel relaxed from the very first moment. The host welcomed us personally, handed over the keys and gave us a short tour of the apartment. We were also greeted with a lovely surprise – prosecco, water and coffee capsules from the house ❤️. We chose the apartment for the terrace and espresso machine (yes, the little details do matter 😄) – and to our surprise, there were actually two spacious terraces, where we enjoyed our morning coffee and quiet evenings. The area is very peaceful, with cozy tavernas nearby and a few beaches within short driving distance – an ideal location if you’re looking for both relaxation and access to places to explore. We had private parking, which was super convenient. All in all, it’s a perfect place for couples, friends or families. We truly felt at home here! _________________________________________ 🇷🇴 𝐔𝐧 𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥 – 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭, 𝐚𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐬̦𝐢 𝐜𝐮 𝐨 𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐣𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐧 𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭! Ne-am simțit foarte bine la Casa Kamara – totul a fost curat, ordonat și pus la punct cu atenție, exact genul de loc în care te simți relaxat din prima clipă. Gazda ne-a asteptat sa ne predea cheile si sa ne prezinte apartamentul. Ne-a așteptat și o mică surpriză din partea casei – prosecco, apă și capsule de cafea ❤️. Am ales apartamentul pentru terasă și espressor (micile detalii contează 😄) – dar surpriza a fost ca erau două terase mari unde ne-am petrecut diminețile la cafea și serile în liniște. Zona e foarte liniștită, cu taverne simpatice aproape și câteva plaje în apropiere – locatie ideala dacă vrei liniște dar si proximitate pentru explorare. Am avut loc de parcare privat - super practic. Ne-am simțit efectiv ca acasă – genul de loc în care ai vrea să revii, e ideal pentru 3-4 persoane, prieteni sau familii ____________________________

This was our second stay at Casa Kamara and we really enjoyed coming back here. It was like coming home. The neighbourhood feels safe and friendly, the views are marvellous, the military jets provide entertainment twice a day and we just feel so relaxed here. Dimos, the host, is really nice and he checked that all was well and we had everything we needed. He also left wine and fruit and he provided were toiletries, toilet paper and cleaning products. The garage under the apartment kept our hire car cool, which was really useful as the car got very hot if we left it in the sunshine. There's a washing machine in the bathroom and two clothes drying racks on the rear balcony. The location is excellent with several beautiful beaches within 20 minutes drive and more within 30 minutes drive. There are ample ATMs, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and cafes in easy walking distance. We've had two excellent holidays here and we really recommend it.

The roads in the area need maintenance, they are very bumpy in places, but it's like that all over Crete.

The view over the countryside to the sea was impressive and every day we really enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the planes, including military ones, flying overhead to or from Chania airport. Dimos met us at the apartment, having sent details including a link to googlemaps to help us find it. He gave us fruit, wine, soft drinks and water which we really appreciated and he messaged me on WhatsApp every few days to check everything was going well. The apartment was beautifully clean and well furnished with a really comfortable sofa and beds. The aircon worked very well and so did the blinds and shutters which blocked out the sun and the heat on some very hot days ( over 35 degrees). There are plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby within walking distance. We really liked the Arodou, the food and the staff were all excellent. There are several big supermarkets within five to ten minutes drive, the Synka, Chalkidakis, and Lidl, petrol stations, plus smaller shops selling fruit and vegetables. This really is a comfortable and well equipped place in a great location. It's near the centre of the peninsula with sandy beaches in all directions within ten minutes drive. For us this place was excellent and we would love to come here again.

The parking was tricky till we got the hang of it, because our parking space was under the building and you had to drive down a quite steep slope into the spot. Once we realised it was best to reverse down slowly at an angle then straighten up, it was fine, but on the first day the bumper of the car, which was set low, touched the floor and it would be easy to damage the underside of the car if you drove down the slope too quickly. Everything else was perfect, we had no problems at all.
