About this property
Romantic studio with semi private pool
Ariana's studio with airconditioning is spacious and romantic. There is a double bed and for a third person there is a sofa bed. You can cook your own meals in the kitchen and enjoy the view from your terrace.
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 for the exclusive use of the guests. Guests can enjoy night swimming in the lit pool which is for the sole use of the guests Ariana's Apartment, Ariana's Villa and Ariana's Studio.
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 sandy 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.

About the area
Kissamos
Located in Kissamos, this apartment is in a rural area and by the sea. While the natural beauty of Balos Beach and Falassarna Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Port of Kissamos.
Scuba diving and snorkelling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling and mountain climbing nearby.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Ariana Geervliet

Why they chose this property
Arianne fell in love with the Kissamos area many years ago because of the beautiful landscape and authentic atmosphere. Tourism is still not dominant here; normal Greek life goes on in this olive farming region throughout the year making her feel very much part of the community.
What makes this property unique
Arianne immediately loved the unique location of Ariana's Place 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. There are many gorges to hike, you can go to famous beaches like Balos and Elafonisi or visit archeological sites. There are numerous places for snorkelling and diving. The whole west of Crete is fantastic for drives, weather you're interested in nature or culture.
