Kissamos
Kissamos is a coastal town with a population of 15,000 and although it is the second largest in western Crete it is the least developed for tourism. Rolling hills of olive groves lead down to white sandy beaches. The small harbour provides freshly caught fish for the local restaurants and tavernas and also has ferry links to some of the smaller outlying islands.
