No issues to find parking space, the room was nice and everything was as expected. The location is excellent, the breakfast buffet was nice... eating breakfast with my kids right next to the sea was priceless.

    Beautiful, unspoilt seaside village.

    Beautiful, unspoilt seaside village. The sea is crystal clear and beach very clean and not at all crowded. Great place to spend a week with the family. Everything is in walking distance....shops, restaurants and the beach.

    It's a nice, peaceful beach village.

    It's a nice, peaceful beach village. Lots of restaurants because nearly everyone is a (German) tourist. Restaurants speak great English and German and the food was great and good value for money. The beach is nice and beautiful at sunset and if you're lucky you might see baby turtles hatch. kalamaki beach is family friendly. The other side of the cliffs is Komos beach (half nudists, half swimming clothes) so don't walk too far if you're shy about such things. 😃 you can walk to the hippy tourist village of Matalan in a little over an hour, where Red Beach is the best in the area. The big problem with Kalamaki is transport. Buses will drop you in a small village 3km away but the walk through dirt tracks is confusing even with Google Maps. Taxis will take you from Moires, the nearest town, for twenty euros, but you share them with other passengers who aren't always going in the same direction.

    The resort was very peaceful and relaxed.

    The resort was very peaceful and relaxed. Very traditional with plenty of eating options along the front, Delphini restaurant I can highly recommend. Lovely long beach past the rocks where many bare all, but everyone seems to mix well.

    We've just spent there one of our best summer holidays ever.

    We've just spent there one of our best summer holidays ever. Kalamaki is a small village in the middle of a long sandy beach on the Lybian Sea. We preferred this beach to the usually higher-rated beaches around (e.g. Matala) because it was not crowded at all (maybe due to COVID). Lots of small properties, no "all inclusive" resorts. Nice people. Very tranquil, with the exception of children playing around and just the amount of good music we needed to feel good (one of the taverns had good bands playing every other day, with an exceptional one on the two Sundays we spent there). One peculiar aspect of architecture is that every other house is unfinished - I heard this is a way to avoid paying taxes. For us, it was part of the experience.

    Kalamaki is on the southern part of the island and enjoys a few degrees warmer than the northern coast resorts. The town is largely quite with a few good restaurants and one main supermarket. The beach is good with shade from trees or on beach umbrellas. The locals are super friendly.

    Kalamaki is a very small seaside village situated on the south coast. It has a bakery, small supermarket and a few gift shops. The front is mainly traffic free and lined by surprisingly smart cafe-bars and restaurants some with distinctive style. The sandy beach conceals a stony entry for swimming- bring or buy water-shoes! There is some safety supervision of bathing areas. Kalamaki is handy for visits to picturesque but steep Agia Gallini and Matala: its hippy days over, it looks rather shabby but the cliffs are still there. The historic Minoan and Roman sites of Phaestos, Gortyn and Agia Triada are all within 20km by car.

    The Kalamaki-Sunset apartment in Kalamaki is a hidden gem. This beautifully designed and tastefully decorated apartment is a tranquil haven.The location is ideal, just a short walk away from sandy beaches and charming tavernas. However, it's the expansive balcony with its awe-inspiring views that steals the show, showcasing unforgettable sunsets that will leave you mesmerized. For those seeking a serene escape with breathtaking vistas, the Kalamaki-Sunset apartment is an absolute must-stay destination.

    We hadn't planned on going to Kalamaki but were so pleased we did because it's an amazing little gem of a place. Our room was quite cheap which was good - since that's what we were looking for. There is a small common terrace where you can sit and enjoy the sunset which is beautiful - the view is amazing. It's right on the beach and there's lots of restaurants. We had our own breakfast but were able to eat it at their cafe's table, very relaxing because it was almost right on the beach.

    Location is perfect for a relaxing holiday, one can sleep with open windows and hear the sea but nothing else. Great tavernas and beach in very short walking distance. Good location to explore the sights nearby, Matala, Phaistos, etc. Apartment is beautifully designed and very well equipped, having great panoramic view to the sea and mountains. I got a very warm welcome by the host, thanks Andrew! Welcome gifts and local home made specialities also made my stay amazing in Kalamaki.

    Just great in any respect. Close to the sea, it had everything you needed. Alexia was as kind as to follow us during our stay and ask if we needed anything. She also made sure we would have reached the facility and sent us precise indications. A really good place to stay in Kalamaki. You could see the sea from the balcony, and made friends with a local who was renting a house just in front and was always there to clean and receive new guests 😅

    This place is simply amazing. It’s cozy, well-located, and the owner of the hotel Eleni is just wonderful. The hotel is realistically shown on photos - what you see is what you get. It’s clear that the hotel is recently renovated. There is a breakfast offered for a small surcharge that I’d recommend. The famous Komos beach is just 30-sec walking distance away. If I returned to Crete, this hotel would be my choice #1 again. Ευχαριστώ, Ελένη ☺️

    I had the best stay at Alonia! The room was clean and comfortable (the bathroom was updated and it was the best shower I’ve had in Greece in 6 weeks), it was an excellent location- 2 min walk to the beach with partial ocean balcony views, and Eleni and co. made the stay exceptional! Eleni went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and I had such a lovely time I decided to come back to the hotel when she has an available room again!

    The hotel owners, husband and wife, were most kind and welcoming, greeting us with coffee and cookies on arrival. They even gave us a bottle of homemade olive oil as a gift! The room was huge and cleaned every day for which we were most grateful. Kitchenette had everything we needed to prepare breakfasts and cook a light lunch. Shower was very spacious, which is a rarity in Greece :)

    Good location in the center of cosy village of Kalamaki. Nice sea view on front balcony from behind couple other buildings. Good taverns right next to the apartment and beach almost next to the aparment. The apartment was very well supplied for two people and everything worked out easily. Very good value for the price.

    The apartments are at the beachfront of Kalamaki, with great sea view! We had rented 2 apartments and both of them were very clean, with large balconies, nice kitchen and spacious. In 1 - 2 min walk there is everything, cafes, restaurants, beach and other shops. We had a great holiday stay! Definetly recommended!

    If you do not mind freezing temp with zero heating despite single glazed windows & just painted rough concrete on ceilings in otherwise very basic room, you should be fine - just keep in mind that the "Katherina rooms" sign got overgrown with vegetation and is unvisible, so go check behind the bushes
