Property info

Kamares Sanctuaries is an upscale boutique-style accommodation that offers private apartments, suites, and vacation rentals. Nestled in a secluded, private setting, with easy access to local beaches and attractions, Kamares Sanctuaries is the perfect escape for travelers looking to relax in style. Inspired by our love of Crete and Cretan history, we designed Kamares to reflect the art applied to the Minoan pottery, Kamares Ware, in 2100 BCE. Used exclusively by the Minoan Palace, this elite tableware design carries a timeless, historical elegance, that you will see throughout Kamares Sanctuaries decor, with a modern twist and our personal touch. Our sanctuaries offer an intimate setting that is ideal for a romantic getaway for couples or solo travelers in search of peaceful tranquility. Allow yourself to relax and indulge in the pleasures of reading a good book, sipping a glass of wine, or getting lost in thought overlooking the beautiful panoramic views of Chania, and we will look after the rest.
