Night life
In the nearby tourist towns of Matala and Agia Galini you can sit
in festive tavernas or dance until 5am in one of the many bars and
cafes.
Archaeological sites
Just 5 minutes' drive away is the world-famous site of the impressive
Minoan palace of Phaistos.
Another 5 minutes' drive from there is the site of Agia
Triada, whose history is closely connected with that of Phaistos.
And between the neighbouring towns of Mires and Agii Deka are the
ruins of Gortys.
But Kamilari has its own archaeological attractions too: an ancient
Minoan tomb is an easy 10 minute walk from the apartments and if
you are interested I can show you many other sites such as monasteries,
caves and ruins.
Markets
Fridays and Saturdays the streets come alive in two nearby towns.
In these markets you can bargain for everything from apples to leather
jackets.
Walks
You can roam freely around the olive trees around Kamilari or climb
the hills to discover beautiful views.
Beaches and swimming
Komos beach, a beautiful stretch of fine sand on the Libyan Sea
coast, is just 4 km away. Closer at hand (2.5 km) is Kalamaki, a
small resort with a long sandy beach. Matala, a well-known tourist
destination whose beach is overlooked by ancient caves that you
can explore in the cliff faces, is 8 km away.
Pleasant swimming pools - ideal for families - can be found at Kalamaki
and at Petrokefali, about 3 km away.
Boat trips and excursions
