Kambia House sits on a peaceful hillside above the hamlet of Kambia. Plaka, the nearest village (about 3 mins by car) has three very good tavernas, kafenions, a village shop selling freshly baked bread and a small mini market. The seaside resort of Almerida (5 mins by car) has plenty of tavernas, shops and a shallow, clean beach. Kalives (10 mins by car) has two good beaches, lots more tavernas and shops, and a large INCA supermarket where you can get just about anything you need. Within easy driving distance is the old Venetian city of Chania(30mins): here you can wander through the old town, have a drink or meal whilst overlooking the Venetian harbour & visit the interesting museums. It is also easy to reach the ancient site of Aptera, the many lovely mountain villages, walk stunning gorges (like the famous Samaria Gorge) or travel a little further to the Minoan sites of Knossos or Phaistos. If you want to go further afield boat trips to Santorini can be booked in the main season.
