About this property

Guests call it "a little paradise"


Ariana's apartment has 2 bedrooms (both with airconditioning), a good-sized bathroom with shower, toilet, double sink and a spacious living- room with an open plan kitchen. There is a large terrace at the front with a good sea-view and a patio at the back. A shady footpath through colourful gardens with Mediterranean plants leads you to the pool area. The 50m2 pool is a peaceful oasis surrounded by flowers and shrubs. There is ample space with sun-loungers for the guests to relax. At the far end there is a bar with a fridge and a barbecue. Guests can enjoy night swimming in the lit pool which is for the sole use of the guests of Ariana's Apartment , Ariana's Villa (see listing 10873004) and Ariana's Studio (10087859).

Location and things to do nearby:

A small road from Kastelli-Kissamos leads up to the hamlet of Kato Kounopitsa. Ariana's Place is in a stunning location on a hillside overlooking the small town of Kissamos, the sea and the olive groves. This little gem is perfect for those who want to be near all the amenities of a small Greek town, but also appreciate the peace and quiet of the countryside. Imagine picking flowers from the garden or herbs for cooking and making tea. It takes less than 5 minutes to drive to town or to the nearest beaches.
We like to provide our guests with tips and suggestions for day-trips, hikes, snorkelling and scuba diving in the Bay of Kissamos, shopping, where to find the best tavernas, and other practical information.
Literally from your doorstep you can go on walks and explore the local area, which is rich in wild flowers, little churches and ancient sites.
Ariana's Place is a perfect base from which to explore the west of Crete. The beautiful white sand beach of Falasarna is only 20 minute away, or a little further you can visit the pink beach and nature reserve of Elafonisi, or you might wish to explore the Gramvousa peninsula and the famous lagoon of Balos with a day trip on a boat.
There are many beautiful gorges to hike, for example Deliana, Anidri and Agia Irini.
For those who are interested in ancient Crete there are wonderful museums in Kissamos itself and in Chania. The museum in Kissamos has some of the best-preserved Roman mosaic floors in the world, while the Historical Museum of Chania boasts artefacts and carved seals dating back to 1500 AC. Among the interesting archaeological sites to visit are Polyrrinia, Falasarna and Aptera.
Kissamos has many superb restaurants and fish tavernas where you can enjoy the traditional Cretan cuisine.
The nearby historical Venetian city of Chania is a must for cultural history and of course shopping. You can buy handmade leather goods in the famous 'Leather Lane' and visit the popular covered market. Chania also has numerous excellent restaurants near the historic harbour.
There are endless possibilities for day trips elsewhere - to Paleochora and the south coast, the White Mountains, the Samaria Gorge, monasteries etc.

Ruhige Oase
Das Apartment war genau wie beschrieben und in den Bildern ersichtlich. Es war alles vorhanden was man benötigt und die Betten waren bequem. Besonders schön war, dass man auf der sehr großen Terrasse morgens und abends schön sitzen kann und auf´s Meer schauen kann. Da ein Teil überdacht ist kann man auch bei Regen dort sitzen. Die Anlage selbst ist ein Traum, wunderschöne Pflanzen und ein super gepflegter Pool, es ist sehr entspannend einfach dort auch einen Tag zu verbringen. Ariana ist super nett und hilft mit Tipps gerne weiter. Das Apartment ist etwas in den Hügeln und uns war es zu weit und heiß runter ins Ort zu laufen aber mit dem Auto sind es 5 Minuten nach Kissamos wo es sehr viele Restaurants gibt...und ansonsten ist das auch eine gute Lage um die Nord/West und Südwest Küste Kretas zu erkunden! Beim nächsten Kreta Urlaub werde ich die Unterkunft wieder buchen!

Top property close to great town and activities
We had a wonderful time. The location is just outside Kissamos so you can enjoy the country side, and a peaceful see view from the lovely terrasse (where you can also enjoy your dinner). The swimming pool is great and the kids loved it! You are also close to town to enjoy a nice restaurant on the see front and come back easily. In terms of activities, Kissamos is just the perfect location. Many tour companies offer great activities and you can easily go to beautiful beaches nearby. On top of it, Arianna (the host) gives you great tips (beaches that are not on tourists books…). A perfect place to relax and discover/enjoy Crete.

Wohlfühloase zwischen Bergen und Meer
Wir hatten eine tolle Woche bei Ariana in Kissamos. Ein super Appartement. Groß, sehr schön eingerichtet, die Küche bestens ausgestattet, eine riesigen Dachterasse mit Blick auf die darunterliegende Stadt Kissamos, das nahe Meer und die umliegenden Berge.Der dazugehörige Swimmingpool (wird mit zwei anderen Mietparteien geteilt) ist traumhaft gelegen, gepflegt und von Olivenbäumen und anderer Vegatation umgeben und wirklich ein paradiesisches Örtchen um einen ereignisreichen Tag ausklingen zu lassen. Viele tolle Ausflugsziele u.a. auch die tollen Strände, sind von hier aus gut zu erreichen. Unsere Gastgeberin Ariana war sehr herzlich, hat uns viele gute Tipps gegeben, dabei stets hilfsbereit, immer symphatisch und herrlich entspannt. Wir kommen sehr gerne einmal wieder.

About the host

Hosted by Ariana Geervliet

Host profile image
Ariana is originally from Holland and lived in Luxembourg for several years before she came to Crete. She has a degree in Health Sciences from the University of Maastricht. She loves gardening, cooking and walking.
Because she speaks 6 languages she is a good host for guests from many different countries.

Why they chose this property

Ariana fell in love with the property many years ago. It was an old farm house with a stable and just some olive trees. A lot of work needed to be done before it became the little paradise that guests often call it. Ariana converted the former stable into a villa and rents out 2 more properties, an apartment and a studio. She loves the location because of it's peace and quiet but still close to the amenities in Kastelli. No noise of roads, just the cicadas and the birds......

What makes this property unique

Ariana immediately loved the unique location of it, so close to Kissamos but set in a natural environment. She spent two years on the restoration and the whole property is now set in a mature Mediterranean garden. The pool area has become a little oasis with all the exotic plants around it.

The location is perfect to explore the area. You can go for hikes from your doorstep or go to famous beaches like Balos and Elafonisi. The whole west of Crete is fantastic for drives, weather you're interested in nature or culture.
