Location



Kamilari is one of the most picturesque traditional villages in the South of Crete. The village is famous for the Kamilari Tolos Tomb, and there are plenty of taverns to enjoy good food. The village is built on three hilltops, Goulas, Alevrotas, and Evgoras, offering panoramic views of the olive groves of the Messara Plain, the peaks of Psiloritis (Mt. Ida), and the Libyan Sea. Just a short drive of 7 minutes and you reach the beach where you can relax and enjoy a drink.



Key distances



The Minoan Palace of Phaistos (6 min) is one of Crete's most important archaeological sites, dating back 6000 BC to the 1st century BC. It corresponds to a prosperous city that emerged in the fertile plain of the Messara during prehistoric times.



Matala (11 min), a former fishing village, is now one of Crete's most popular tourist destinations. It is known for its unique caves in the rocks and its history with the hippies of the ‘70s. The village once served as a port for Phaestus and Gortyn during Roman times. Nowadays, visitors can explore the many bars and gift shops, while the Matala Beach Festival in June celebrates its hippie past.



The Airport of Heraklion is less than one hour away.
