10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Kissamos That You Shouldn't Miss
Kissamos (Greek: Κίσσαμος) is a town and municipality, multiple (former) bishopric and Latin titular see in the west of the island of Crete, Greece. It is part of the Chania regional unit and of the former Kissamos Province which covers the northwest corner of the island. The city of Kissamos is also known as Kastelli Kissamou and often known simply as Kastelli after the Venetian castle that was there. It is now a port and fishing harbour, with a regular ferry from the Peloponnese via Kythira. A town museum is located in the old Venetian governor's palace and there have been important archaeological finds in the town, including fine mosaics, dating from the Roman city of Kisamos (Κίσαμος, Latinized as Cisamus). The head town of the municipality (Δήμος Κισσάμου) is Kastelli-Kissamos itself.

Must do on your way to Balos Beach! If you want to take home s.th. special, not the standard souvenir! Beautiful show room with unique things made of local natural elements. The most impressive are Mike's olive bonsais! Also ask for their organic olive oil. if you are lucky, they have some left to sell you.

With recycling at the forefront of our minds, we use clams and driftwood that are washed out by the sea and transform them into handy everyday objects and decorative items. In our gift shop you may find driftwood decorative compositions and key's hangers, handmade jewelry, pure soaps, cretan organic spices and herbs, olive oil, bio-cosmetics and post cards among others. Re Sea is not the usual souvenir shop but one that offers memorable pieces of the coast back in your home!

8. Cornucopia
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 9 reviews
Mythology offers multiple explanations of the origin of the cornucopia. One of the best-known involves the birth and nurturance of the infant Zeus, who had to be hidden from his devouring father Kronus. In a cave on Mount Ida on the island of Crete, baby Zeus was cared for and protected by a number of divine attendants, including the goat Amaltheia ("Nourishing Goddess"), who fed him with her milk. The suckling future king of the gods had unusual abilities and strength, and in playing with his nursemaid accidentally broke off one of her horns, which then had the divine power to provide unending nourishment. Based on that Myth we provide extra virgin olive oil,Cretan Honey,100% Natural Cosmetics made in Crete,Herbs,Handmade wooden items and a lot more.

I had an airport pick up and return booked Aug 19th return Aug 23rd. The service couldn't have been better. The driver was waiting for me at arrivals with a sign with my full name on it so it was easy to find the driver. The people carrier (only me and driver) was extremely clean, once the luggage was loaded i was offered hand sanitiser which the driver and I both used as we got into the vehicle. we both wore face masks during the 50 minute journey. Upon arrival I was helped with my luggage and the return pick up time was confirmed. The return journey, although a different driver and different car, all the precautions etc were the same, the car was immaculate and driver professional. I could not fault anything with this taxi firm. Extremely clean, very professional and on time. I would very much recommend this company and will look to use the company on my return journey June 2021.
