About the Location

Greece, Crete, Chania

Escape to Kalamaki: Chania’s Seaside Secret

Nestled just a few kilometers west of Chania’s enchanting Old Town, Kalamaki is one of Crete’s best-kept secrets. This small, coastal village offers the perfect blend of relaxed beach vibes, authentic Cretan hospitality, and easy access to some of the island’s most iconic sights—making it an ideal destination for villa holidays that balance serenity with adventure.


Where Comfort Meets Coastline

Kalamaki is known for its peaceful atmosphere and welcoming charm. The beach here is clean, sandy, and shallow—ideal for families with young children or anyone looking to unwind under the Cretan sun. Dotted along the seafront are local tavernas serving up fresh seafood, local wines, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like part of the family.

Choosing a villa in Kalamaki means waking up to the gentle sound of waves and sipping your morning coffee with panoramic views of the Aegean. With private pools, sun-kissed terraces, and the privacy to set your own pace, your villa becomes more than just a place to stay—it becomes part of the experience.


A Family-Friendly Paradise

Kalamaki is a favorite for families traveling with children. The beach’s shallow waters and soft sand make it a safe and fun playground for little ones, while many villas are equipped with family-friendly amenities like baby cots, high chairs, and fenced pools. Kids can enjoy beach games, paddle safely in the calm sea, or explore nearby nature trails. Parents will appreciate the slower pace, relaxed setting, and the convenience of everything being close by—restaurants, markets, and even kid-friendly attractions like the Limnoupolis Water Park and the Cretan Aquarium, both within easy driving distance.


Gateway to Western Crete

While Kalamaki offers a tranquil escape, it’s also perfectly positioned for day trips and excursions. A short drive brings you into Chania’s Venetian harbor, bustling with history, cafes, and culture. Further afield, you can hike the Samaria Gorge, explore the pink sands of Elafonissi Beach, or take a boat to the unspoiled island of Gramvousa and the turquoise lagoon of Balos.


Local Life at Its Best

Unlike more commercialized resorts, Kalamaki retains its local character. You’ll find family-run markets, bakeries where everything is made fresh daily, and locals who are always ready with a story or a recommendation. It’s a place where time slows down—perfect for travelers looking to reconnect with nature, culture, and themselves.


Why Choose a Villa in Kalamaki?

Privacy & space for couples, families, or small groups

Beachfront bliss without the crowds

Proximity to Chania, yet far enough to relax

Authentic Crete without compromise

 

Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a family vacation, or a getaway with friends, Kalamaki offers a timeless charm that keeps travelers coming back. Discover the magic of Crete from the comfort of your own villa - and let Kalamaki become your Mediterranean home away from home.

This was really an amazing place to stay for a week, highly recommend!

Our stay at Eland Dream Villas was truly wonderful! Each bedroom was very nice and had plenty of space for us to unpack our bags and make ourselves comfortable. We really enjoyed having a sitting area and kitchen for breakfasts as well. However, most of our time was spent outside in the wonderful pool area, taking in the beautiful views of the sea and soaking up that amazing Greek sun! The location was also great, with plenty of options for nearby restaurants and markets, and just a short taxi ride into Chania.

Excelent accomodation. 3 Families on the three Vilas out of 4. Helen had everything arranged and in order. She assisted with early check in and a very late Check out. She was there for everything we needed. Very Clean!

Excellent experience

The villa is as good as it looks in the photos. It was spotlessly clean and cleaned daily with turning of the sheets every few days. My group of friends and I had an amazing stay at the villa. We loved the fact that every room has a separate bathroom and even the ‘kids room’ was perfectly suitable for a couple. It was a lovely spot for our friends to get ready for their wedding with plenty of space for everyone to move around. Location wise, it’s perfect for getting into Chania Old Town or around to the beach clubs.

Exceptional

Let me start by telling you that I wish I could have extended my stay at Eleni's place. What a charming, clean, luxury, well thought place. It felt like home. Beautiful spot close to all and surrounded by wonderful views and beaches. We were a group of 10 people aged from 5 to 53 and every one loved Eleni's awesome place. She is a super host and we had her whole family take care of us with whatever we needed. You will not regret going to Eleni's place and you will definitely want to renew the experience year after year.

Definitely recommend!

This place is AMAZING!!! So glad we booked it. Amazing hospitality- so friendly and helpful and absolutely fantastic in every way. The place itself is STUNNING and the pool and view really can’t be beat. Extremely comfortable for up to 10 ppl with 5 bedrooms and 5 full baths. Just wish we could have stayed longer!

Τέλεια επιλογή!

Το σπίτι είναι απλά υπέροχο, οι οικοδεσπότες εξυπηρετικοί και πρόθυμοι να μας βοηθήσουν σε ότι χρειαστήκαμε. Σίγουρα θα είναι η πρώτη μας επιλογή αν ξανά έρθουμε κάποια άλλη στιγμή.

We absolutely loved our stay.

The location, view, house, and amenities were exactly what we were looking for. Eleni and her parents were very helpful throughout our entire stay with tips and accommodations outside of the villa. We rented out all 4 villas for a family reunion and my entire family was so pleased with their experience that we plan on making this a regular vacation spot.

We hope to be back soon!

You are silly if you are in Chania and do not stay in one of Eland dream villas. Eleni and Roula were both very responsive and accommodating from our late check in because of ferry delay and our requests during our stay. The location is fantastic- 5 mins walk to the beach to hop in the ocean. Walking distance to many great restaurant and grocery stores. Our family of 7 took advantage of the outdoor space and grill and made seafood dinner every night. We also love the gym and ping pong table in the basement.
