Kissamos, the unaltered and authentic town in Crete
Just a few kilometres west of Chania, Kissamos winks at us to introduce us to its own unique beauties. And we can only bow to its majesty, to experience unique landscapes and an absolute experience of life on the three most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean: the Balos Lagoon at the cape of Gramvousa, Elafonissi and Falassarna. Protected by Natura 2000, Balos is without exaggeration one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet not only for its turquoise waters but also for the view.
Kissamos or Kastelli, as it is called by the locals due to its fortification, is a town that respects the visitor and despite the massive summer tourism manages to keep a unique character and offer the "xenobatis"(foreigner), the authenticity and valour of Crete.
Try and enjoy the cuisine
Of course, a visit is not complete, if one does not taste the famous local cuisine: Eggs with Staka, Cretan kalitsounia, lamb with aromatic wild radishes, Dakos, Fried snails, Chaniotiko bureki, Xerotigana, mullet, Graviera (the local cheese), grilled goat or unbeatable seafood and fish - unique ingredients for delicious sea urchin salads or divine fish soups! Cretan delicacies are wonderfully accompanied by Marouvas the deep red wine of Crete, or an iced Tiskoudia (Cretan Raki).
