Kastelli Kissamos bay is the largest bay in Crete and one of the largest in Greece. It is formed by the two long peninsulas of Gramvousa on the west, and Rodopou on the east.
The bay of Kasteli Kissamos is also known for its wild beauty and its untouched nature, as both the peninsulas of Gramvousa and Rodopou are practically uninhabited.
In the deepest point of the bay lies the town of Kastelli Kissamos, the biggest town west of Chania, where Arodamos Apartments & Studios is located.
Explore Kastelli Kissamos bay
Probably the best way to explore Kastelli Kissamos bay is by boat. The harbor of Kastelli Kissamos, which lies about 3 kilometers west of the town, has daily routes to the well-known Balos lagoon and Gramvousa islet, both on the northwest coast of Gramvousa peninsula. During these boat trips, you can admire the magnificent scenery of the bay by the sea.
Another way to explore the unique landscape of Kastelli Kissamos bay is by a 4x4 vehicle that you can rent from the town of Kastelli Kissamos. A 4x4 vehicle is essential to drive on the dirt road that starts in the Kaliviani village and leads to Balos lagoon. During the trip, you have an excellent view from the road to the scenic bay.
If you wish to explore the east side of the bay by car, unfortunately there is not a road similar to the above on the Rodopou peninsula. But you can drive to the village of Ravdouha, in the base of the peninsula, which offers excellent view to the bay of Kastelli Kissamos.
