About this apartment rental
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.
The Greek government introduced a "Climate Resilience Levy" tax for all tourist accommodations in the country.
Guests have to pay 2 euro per night for the accommodation.
The owner has to collect this cash during the stay of the guests.

My husband and I enjoyed our 10 days nestled in the mountains. Wonderful views of the sea and countryside. Our favorite was the pool area with all the beautiful plants, bushes and trees. Our apartment was very comfortable with a patio that was picturesque. Our feline visitors were another added plus. Ariana is a warm individual and enjoyed our conversations. We were sad to leave.

Beautiful location with an amazing pool. Arianna has crafted a comfortable and well considered place with lots of little touches - like the art all over the garden, soft beach and bath towels, and amazing garden. We very much enjoyed her hospitality, directing us to magical little places like Maria Beach, all very close by. We loved the fact that it is so peaceful but very close to the hum of the town. Thank you!

We stayed 2 weeks in this apartment and had a wonderfull time. After a very warm welcome, the owner informed us during our stay about many locations to visit after she asked us what we are interested in. At this location are only 3 holiday apartments with a shared, very nice located swimming pool.We loved the location/area being a bit less touristic and showing us the more of the Crete way of living.Ariane, thank you very much for your hospitality these 2 weeks

We were looking for a place to spend a few days with the family in western Crete and after a long search we found this place. Ariana welcomed us very well and kindly despite our late arrival. Everything suited us and especially the wonderful terrace! The area is very quiet, secluded and surrounded by olive fields in the mountains. We had a great rest at Ariana Paradise.
