AERAS CAFE / SNACK RESTAURANT

​Kissamos or Kastelli Kissamou is a small town in West Crete, at the northwest end of the island. Kissamos, often still referred to by its earlier name of Kastelli, lies halfway along Kissamos bay, 43 kilometres from Chania. on first sight, Kissamos does not look like a town full of fascinating things to do, but the truth is quite otherwise. Don't forget that the west coast of Crete includes some of the island's most famous sights, such as Elafonisi, Falasarna and Balos on Cape Gramvousa.

Kissamos is a town with two names, Kissamos and Kastelli. When it is called Kastelli, the word "Kissamou" ("of Kissamos") is usually added, to differentiate this Kastelli, west of Chania, from Kastelli Pediados, south of Heraklion. The town was called Kastelli because it lies on the site of an old Venetian castle, no longer visible today. The name Kissamos, on the other hand, is much more ancient; it is thought to be pre-Hellenic, but its derivation is uncertain.
