A Short History

Once an important harbor in ancient times, Kissamos has a long heritage that dates back to the Roman era. Over the centuries, the town has seen Venetians and Ottomans pass through, leaving traces in its architecture and cultural traditions. Today, you can still find remnants of ancient walls and mosaics scattered through the town’s streets.

The ideal period to explore this area is from May to October, when you can enjoy warm weather and sunny days. Summer months are perfect for swimming and beach activities, while spring and autumn offer milder temperatures and fewer visitors, providing a more relaxed experience.
