Holiday rentals in Kalamaki Beach

Virginies house is just stunning and exudes quality in every way epitomised by the fabulous marble lined swimming pool. Everything is finished to a high standard. The location of the house is elevated with fabulous views over the immaculate grounds, surrounding olive groves and sea views. The shaded veranda was the perfect place to sit, read, enjoy a drink and of course the amazing view. As the house is quite remote my only advice would be getting there for the first time in the light as navigating there in the dark was a bit of a challenge. Plakias is known to be windy, and this was the case for our visit making it impossible to use the pool umbrellas. That said the wind was appreciated by us all helping us to keep cool in the August sun. The local beaches were beautiful with crystal clear warm water and stunning surrounds perfect for swimming and snorkelling. We also enjoyed a fabulous day sailing from Skafia so were also able to visit a number of other coves and caves inaccessible by car. Virginie couldn’t have been more helpful. We had a brief interruption to the water supply but she was proactive in reaching a solution quickly and kept us well informed throughout. She also provided comprehensive recommendations for local beaches and restaurants which we referred to regularly during our stay. Overall we felt very lucky to have stayed for a week in Virginies gorgeous home and very much hope to visit again in the future.

Very nice place ! Close to lots of places to go , very helpful host !

Antonis’s place exceeded expectations in every way. Our host, George (father of Antonis) greeted us with wine, treats, welcoming words, and two adorable dogs - we felt at home and began relaxing immediately. The grounds were even better than the photos - the house is spacious, comfortable, gorgeous. The upstairs veranda overlooking the sea was a highlight - a perfect spot for morning yoga and evening stargazing. We kept discovering new wonders - the trail to the beach through the olive trees, vegetable garden, exquisite woodwork and masonry; not to mention the incredible views of mountains, meadows, and sea. The sound of the waves all night was a beautiful lullaby. The village is very quiet in early April when we were there. Nothing was open so we brought in all of our supplies, which was good because once you’ve made it down the mountain, you’ll want to stay put until it’s time to leave. - no quick trips into town from there! Def bring a sturdy vehicle! Can’t wait to go back!

What a great spacious apartment and even better location,.. and with a panoramic sea view from the spacious balcony/terrace. What more do you need? And chose Kalamaki over Matala (just visit) if you want to relax.

Excellent location and house

We spent 3 weeks in Marirena's house. We loved everything: Marirena is absolutely charming and attentive, the house is as described in the listing. The gray sand beach, very close with sun loungers reserved for rent and a very nice umbrella. Very close,tavernas where we enjoyed an addition to 4 adults below 30 euros... a real joy for those who like to live with the Cretans, calm and not the crowds of very touristy sites. Our last night we spent it at Marirena's kind neighbor over the raki…

We loved the view and the location.

Heike's place was super well maintained and had everything your heart desires. We felt comfortable and enjoyed our time very much! Heike was also on site on the day of our arrival and personally gave us many helpful tips and explained everything necessary. She was also quickly available to us at any time. Utensils for grilling meat and fish were also fully available. The surrounding small towns with numerous localities are quickly and easily reached by car. If you are athletic, you can also do it on foot :) . But even at home you can unwind, either in a hammock or a lounger.
