The airport is located 56km. from Chania town.

You will have to be transferred by bus to the center of Chania and from there take the next bus to Kissamos.

There are itineraries every hour and the journey takes 1 hour.

Alternatively, you can take a taxi from the airport or rent a car.

The beauty of Kissamos is that it is a Greek town that has embraced tourism but not been spoilt by it. The visitor in Kissamos can experience local life and tradition, from the everyday to the special cultural events organized during the summer season. In recent years it has also developed as a region renowned for its alternative, natural and eco-tourism and as such is a magnet for walkers, bird watchers and lovers of nature generally.

It is a hospitable town, well organized with all the facilities required of a self-sufficient town, such as banks, post office, internet cafes, health center, supermarkets and stores, taverns, cafes and bars. It also has a very pleasant seaside promenade lined with taverns, cafes and bars open from the morning till late at night.

The archeological museum of Kissamos, situated in the central square Stratigou Tzanakaki, is a recently renovated listed building housing a treasure trove of local archeological finds from the Hellenistic and Roman periods – most notably very impressive mosaics.

There is also a delightful street called Skalidi that runs through the centre of the old section of the town with traditional arched buildings and small local tradesmen and shops.

One and a half kilometers from the center of town is the picturesque fishing port with two taverns and a little further on the larger commercial port that links Kissamos by a ferry service to Kythera, the Peloponnese and Piraeus. From this port there is also a daily pleasure cruise to the stunning island of Gramvousa and lagoon of Balos.

Between the two ports is the surprising little 10th century  church (reconstructed in 1947) St. John Damiali built into the rockface and opposite a tunnel leading to Damiali beach – a pebbly cove with crystal clear water that will enchant you.
