The beaches of Falassarna and Elafonisi, the lagoon of Balos and the peninsula of Gramvousa with the homonym island are only some of the treasures of the area. Kissamos is not just a part of Crete, is an entire destination with secrets and surprises, ready to be explored! Staying at Anemon villas, you are only 4 km away of the capital of the Kissamos district. Kastelli is a modern seaside town, offering everything visitors might need but its beauty lays in the fact that although it has embraced tourism, has not been spoilt by it. The town is standing on the site of ancient Kissamos, a flourishing, independent city with its own coinage and extensive trading links, which was the harbor of ancient Polirinia. Kissamos was also known as Kastelli and got its name from the Venetian Fort that used to surround the town. Today, the ruins of the fort, still stand in some places as reminders of its great past. An afternoon walk in the picturesque fishing port of the town is offering a beautiful view of the bay of Kissamos and little further, on the larger commercial port, daily pleasure cruises are available to the stunning island of Gramvousa and Balos lagoon. Anemon villas are located in Nopigia, a tiny seaside village where you can find an organized beach (just 400 m away from the villas) with a very cozy beach bar, seafood restaurants and a local food market. The location is perfect, as the most famous beaches of the island like Falassarna lie just a few kilometers away from the villas and if you care to drive for about 1 hour you can get to places like Elafonisi and Kedrodasos (cedar forest). There is not much to say about those beaches. They speak for themselves, as their beauty is unique and they have been awarded as some of the best beaches in Europe. However, in the west and north coastlines of the area, hundreds of small, less known beaches, are ready to be explored... During your visit you will have the chance to notice that the countless beaches are not the only beauty of Kissamos. The combination of the green hills with the wild landscape constitutes one of the reasons that this part of the island is so famous. The north part of Kissamos, where Anemon Villas are placed, is full of olive groves and vineyards and you can arrange a tour guide to some of the local wineries as Pneumatikakis Winery (in a walking distance from the villas) or even visit an organic olive grove (10-15 min away from Anemon Villas) and learn about oil production. Finally, the area of Kissamos has a long and rich history, which lives in the ruins of the ancient cities. Ancient Falasarna and Polirinia are reminding us the greatness of Kissamos in antiquity. The ruins of Polirinia found in todays village Polirinia, just few kilometers away from Anemon Villas and they testify the fact that Polirinia was the most important city of western Crete after Cydonia.
