Why we like it: Traditional
influence, spacious, at the beach, sense of style
OUR REVIEW
The Komis
building is across the narrow and little-trafficked road from the
pebble and sand beach.
The place has style, warmth, space and you feel special for staying there.
Komis Studios is the best of Keratokambos.
The 15 studios vary in individual layout and style, all have
interesting decor and the focus is on genuinely traditional furniture.
Splendid views to the sea.
Air conditioning, TV, telephone, hair dryer,
fridge/mini bar and safe box in all rooms (kitchen facilities
are not available).
Some of the older aspects of the building do look old however
(stone-like sinks in some bathrooms could do with renewal).
Email messages can be sent and received at the reception desk.
Good quality food is served in the restaurant (July & August). It is a joy to
have your breakfast, take coffee or enjoy a drink in the gardens - or on your balcony
or terrace looking out to the Libyan sea.
Komis studios, with its more creatively designed and conceived
accommodation, its atmosphere and lush garden surroundings, is one of
the few nicer small hotels to stay on the south coast of Crete. The
suites have character and elements of style not normally found so
close to the beach.
