Kamilari holidays – Typical peaceful Crete hill village
Kamilari holidays appeal to those who enjoy the quiet simple pleasures of a peaceful typical Crete hillside village. Kamilari is picturesquely set amongst colourful and restful fertile farmland. Kamilari enjoys excellent views to the coast and inland to the Messari farmland and the Ida Mountains. Kamilari has a superb climate. Kamilari holidays are centred on an unspoilt friendly Crete village with its typical cosy tavernas and cafés. A holiday in Kamilari is for those who are looking for a Crete village that has maintained its traditional architecture, stone houses, narrow lanes and village square but is close to the coast and good long beaches.
Kamilari holidays – A choice of superb beaches
While just inland from the coast holidays in Kamilari can easily enjoy several nearby beaches. The spectacularly long sandy Kalamaki and Komos beaches are just over a mile below the village. Both are excellent places to swim and are uncrowded. Another favourite beach to visit during Kamilari holidays is the famous ex-hippy haven of Matala with its beach caves and cliffs. Matala is just 3 miles from Kamilari. Obviously a much bigger selection of tavernas bars and shops can be found at these resorts.
Holidays in Kamilari – Walks, ancient sites and slow village life
Kamilari is in the middle of the south coast of Crete and makes a good quiet base for exploration of the island. Holidays in Kamilari should appeal to those who like exploring on foot as there are many lanes and paths into the surrounding countryside and gorges. The ancient site of Phaistos is a walk away as is the ancient site of Agia Triada. Fishing and horse riding are other favourite Kamilari holiday activities if you are not spending the day on the beach or just enjoying sleepy rural village life.
