Its off the beaten tourist track but with superb views of the Bay of Kissimos as well as the surrounding hills covered in olive tree plantations. A great welcoming and friendly place to stay - self-catering - but there's a large supermarket only 15 minutes away by car. And in the morning, its only a 5 minute drive to get... More

Whoever likes surprises will love this place. Harry the tail wagging dog is the first to welcome you (right after the amazing view). Next comes Maggie and Andrew with a lovely smile. The room was spacious, with a huge glass door to give way to the green mountains and sea. The kitchen had all one needs for a good meal,... More

Terramara Apartments are situated close to the village of Plakalona, near Kissamos on the North Western coast of Crete. We visited these apartments during the first week of September this year. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the owners Margaret and Andrew and their gorgeous dog Harry!! The view from these apartments is just breathtakingly beautiful. They are set... More

Fantastic location, wonderful, friendly host and comfortable well equipped rooms. Margret and Andrew have put together an idyllic holiday venue and are natural professionals. I have no hesitation in awarding Terramara and its host 10/10, and highly reccomend this great venue to all travellers in Crete. We will be back...so keep the fridge well stocked!! Brian and Nas

The fact that I never take the time to write a review should say enough. Margret & Andrew are very friendly and helpful. Their recommendations (and knowledge) on which places to go in West Crete are a bonus to your stay.

We stayed at Terramara for a week having spent previous two weeks in other parts of the island. Terramara is in a very convenient location. Very close to Kissamos and relatively close to Chania (30-40 minutes drive to the Old Town). The latter is a great place to spend evenings after daytrips or days spent at the beach. The famous...

We found Terramara by chance. The place is beautiful, extraordinarily clean and well kept. The rooms are well organized, even the small one without the kitchen where we stayed. We looked for a place to stay overnight but it would have been nice to stay more. The view of the bay is overwhelming. The temperature is cool at night (which... More

I have just returned from 4 nights at Terramara and wish I could have stayed longer. The rate, in the middle of high season (July), was very good at 55 euros per night for two. The room was big and spotless, with a well appointed kitchenette and the view from the terrace was amazing, overlooking Kissamos bay and the mountains... More

My wife and I spent 5 very enjoyable days at Terramara as guests of Andrew and Margaret. In thinking about how best to describe our experience there a number of factors which combine to make Terramara a very special place. 1. Location, location, location Terramara enjoys a commanding location overlooking KIssamos Bay and the Gramvousa peninsula. The view from your... More

We capped our Greek honeymoon with a four night stay at Terramara. I simply can't imagine a more idyllic place to stay. The rooms are spotless, featuring well equipped kitchens, satellite TV (not that you'll watch it!) and large balconies overlooking an expansive view of mountains, olive groves, and beautiful deep blue seas. But the rooms are only the tip... More
