My favorite thing to do in Kissamos, is to visit the sourounding villages and spend some time with the locals when the town is busy during July and August of the massive tourism.
One of my favorite villages with a great view to the gulf of Kissamos and very close to town is the traditional village called Kaliviani.
There you will find a picturque small square beteween two small coffee shops and two tavern which runs by locals. This is my pick of the sourounding villages, because of its altitude on 50 metres, you have always the view and the cool summer wind.
If you like to spend some time at this small laid back village, it is very easy to find some accommodation in Kissamos from low to high range budget. The village offers accommodation of hotels, apartments and villas at various prices depending of the period.
One of my favorite websites for searching information and accommodations is TripAdvisor, so take a look to tripadvisor's recommendations for Kaliviani.
I will give more information about souroundings of Kissamos at the next article.
