No issues to find parking space, the room was nice and everything was as expected. The location is excellent, the breakfast buffet was nice... eating breakfast with my kids right next to the sea was priceless.

Beautiful, unspoilt seaside village. The sea is crystal clear and beach very clean and not at all crowded. Great place to spend a week with the family. Everything is in walking distance....shops, restaurants and the beach.

It's a nice, peaceful beach village.
It's a nice, peaceful beach village. Lots of restaurants because nearly everyone is a (German) tourist. Restaurants speak great English and German and the food was great and good value for money. The beach is nice and beautiful at sunset and if you're lucky you might see baby turtles hatch. kalamaki beach is family friendly. The other side of the cliffs is Komos beach (half nudists, half swimming clothes) so don't walk too far if you're shy about such things. 😃
you can walk to the hippy tourist village of Matalan in a little over an hour, where Red Beach is the best in the area.
The big problem with Kalamaki is transport. Buses will drop you in a small village 3km away but the walk through dirt tracks is confusing even with Google Maps. Taxis will take you from Moires, the nearest town, for twenty euros, but you share them with other passengers who aren't always going in the same direction.

The resort was very peaceful and relaxed. Very traditional with plenty of eating options along the front, Delphini restaurant I can highly recommend. Lovely long beach past the rocks where many bare all, but everyone seems to mix well.

We've just spent there one of our best summer holidays ever. Kalamaki is a small village in the middle of a long sandy beach on the Lybian Sea. We preferred this beach to the usually higher-rated beaches around (e.g. Matala) because it was not crowded at all (maybe due to COVID). Lots of small properties, no "all inclusive" resorts. Nice people. Very tranquil, with the exception of children playing around and just the amount of good music we needed to feel good (one of the taverns had good bands playing every other day, with an exceptional one on the two Sundays we spent there). One peculiar aspect of architecture is that every other house is unfinished - I heard this is a way to avoid paying taxes. For us, it was part of the experience.

Kalamaki is on the southern part of the island and enjoys a few degrees warmer than the northern coast resorts. The town is largely quite with a few good restaurants and one main supermarket. The beach is good with shade from trees or on beach umbrellas. The locals are super friendly.

Kalamaki is a very small seaside village situated on the south coast. It has a bakery, small supermarket and a few gift shops. The front is mainly traffic free and lined by surprisingly smart cafe-bars and restaurants some with distinctive style. The sandy beach conceals a stony entry for swimming- bring or buy water-shoes! There is some safety supervision of bathing areas. Kalamaki is handy for visits to picturesque but steep Agia Gallini and Matala: its hippy days over, it looks rather shabby but the cliffs are still there. The historic Minoan and Roman sites of Phaestos, Gortyn and Agia Triada are all within 20km by car.
The Kalamaki-Sunset apartment in Kalamaki is a hidden gem. This beautifully designed and tastefully decorated apartment is a tranquil haven.The location is ideal, just a short walk away from sandy beaches and charming tavernas. However, it's the expansive balcony with its awe-inspiring views that steals the show, showcasing unforgettable sunsets that will leave you mesmerized. For those seeking a serene escape with breathtaking vistas, the Kalamaki-Sunset apartment is an absolute must-stay destination.
Great unexpected location on the romantic village of Kalamaki!!!
The host was great and she managed to switch our room (2single beds) for one with double bed.
Parking nearby, village very friendly, space well designed in all parts and with good details.
The toilet has been recently renovated and it's a definite plus since most accommodation we found on the island in the same price range offer poorer toilet settings!
Definitely recommended!!!
Outside fountain and garden very well maintained!
We hadn't planned on going to Kalamaki but were so pleased we did because it's an amazing little gem of a place.
Our room was quite cheap which was good - since that's what we were looking for.
There is a small common terrace where you can sit and enjoy the sunset which is beautiful - the view is amazing.
It's right on the beach and there's lots of restaurants.
We had our own breakfast but were able to eat it at their cafe's table, very relaxing because it was almost right on the beach.
Location is perfect for a relaxing holiday, one can sleep with open windows and hear the sea but nothing else. Great tavernas and beach in very short walking distance. Good location to explore the sights nearby, Matala, Phaistos, etc. Apartment is beautifully designed and very well equipped, having great panoramic view to the sea and mountains. I got a very warm welcome by the host, thanks Andrew! Welcome gifts and local home made specialities also made my stay amazing in Kalamaki.
This place is simply amazing. It’s cozy, well-located, and the owner of the hotel Eleni is just wonderful. The hotel is realistically shown on photos - what you see is what you get. It’s clear that the hotel is recently renovated. There is a breakfast offered for a small surcharge that I’d recommend. The famous Komos beach is just 30-sec walking distance away. If I returned to Crete, this hotel would be my choice #1 again. Ευχαριστώ, Ελένη ☺️
The apartment was specious, extreamly clean and cosy. The terrace on the roof top really made a diffrence. The wifi connection worked perfectly. Our host Agni welcomed us really kind with some local food and drinks in the fridge. We particulary liked the wine which she offered us kindly as a gift in the end of our wonderful stay. When we come back to Kalamaki we know already where to spend our holidays. Thank you, efcharistó!
A very high quality spacious apartment just on the beachfront of Kalamaki, everything is new and clean with a very good taste. A really luxury apartment in very reasonable price. Andrew was lovely and super helpful ❤️.
Kalamaki is amazing, so quite and relaxed, beautiful beach and sunsets, with the best restaurants.
We are a couple with a toddler and it was perfect, had such a good time.
Highly recommend.
The location was far away from the touristic masses of Crete, which was exactly what we wanted. Just next to a quiet rocky beach, great peaceful garden for bbq evenings, hammocks, nice outdoor shower. Kitchen appliances were a bit outdated, but still functioning properly. Everything was very clean. Better beaches and a supermarket a short drive away. In general, we had a great quiet family stay.
The hotel owners, husband and wife, were most kind and welcoming, greeting us with coffee and cookies on arrival. They even gave us a bottle of homemade olive oil as a gift! The room was huge and cleaned every day for which we were most grateful. Kitchenette had everything we needed to prepare breakfasts and cook a light lunch. Shower was very spacious, which is a rarity in Greece :)
Our stay at Kalamaki-Sunset apartment was truly exceptional. Fanis, the host, was incredibly helpful and attentive. The apartment itself was beautifully decorated, providing a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The highlight was the stunning views from the balcony. We felt welcomed and cared for throughout our stay. Highly recommended for a memorable experience in Kalamaki.
The hosts were amazing, very friendly and kind. They were hospitable and even took us out for dinner, probably the most fun dinner we have ever had with locals.
The villa is beautifull and has an amazing swimming pool.
Overall probably one of our best holidays we had so far. Would really recommend taking this villa.
Garifalia and her husband were very friendly hosts. The apartment was spacious enough for two people and cleaned every day. The public areas (balcony etc) were also very tidy. The location was good, with quiet surroundings and just a short walk to the beach and the town.
Beatiful weather. Im really enjoy holidays in kalamaki. Caterina end Zaccaria was always with smile end always ready for give some information. Rent rooms Katerina IS lesse then 5 minutes walking at the beach, restaurant cafe, shopping. Every thing was super.
The room was clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. Maria went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Kalamaki and/or Kommos beach. We will definitely choose Ilios again next year.
The view from the sea facing rooms makes up for all the shortcomings of the hotel. The balcony was literally meters from the sea. You get your own private sunset. The hotel terrace is on the beach and is very nice. The room was clean.
Location and cleanliness of the hotel. Breakfast was adequate but do not expect anything special: coffee is sub-par, orange juice is not fresh squeezed. Tavernas food was nice fish and salads were great
Excellent location near the sea and easy walking to restaurants and local shop. Good access to the southern Crete road network. Generally well equipped and comfortable.
Location is pefect. Studio was clean, literally every day cleaning lady was in the studio cleaning, enough space, everything was perfect. Kalamaki is beautiful.
