Magedico 150m from the beach

Kissamos

Featuring a patio with sea views, a garden and barbecue facilities, Magedico 150m from the beach can be found in Kissamos, close to Telonio Beach and 1.1 km from Mavros Molos Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Platanias Square is 27 km from the country house and Agios Dimitrios Church is 28 km away. We had a wonderful time at Magedico. The best way to describe it: a home away from home. The house is new, comfortable and it's obvious that the owners furnished it with love and consideration of their guests' needs. It's one of the most well equipped and well stocked holidays homes we've ever stayed in, we really only needed to buy food. The A/C in every room and outside blinds kept the Cretan heat at bay, the comfortable beds ensured a good night's sleep. The house is just the right size for 2-4 guests. And from the terrace you can see the sea, it's like 4 minutes away on foot.
