Crete Alfresco – just turn up with your swimsuit and an
appetite! Experience the bright clean air and the joy of the simple freedom of
living “under canvas”, camping in your very own huge fully-equipped luxury frame tent.
Base yourself here for all the fun, adventure, entertainment and experiences
that Crete has to offer, whilst living amongst trees and flowers right next to
the beach in a friendly environment - of environmental friendship.
Here in Crete you’re never far from the buzz of people having a great time - nor far
from total peace, quiet and relaxation when you want it. Kissamos has a million
olive trees in groves tumbling down from the mountains to the beach – there is
entertainment and great fun to be had, and yet even in high season, it's
possible to walk along the nine mile / fifteen kilometre beach and see only a
small number of other people. |
 |
 |
|
 |
|
The principal town is small but lively Kissamos/ Kastelli with
its bustling fishing port, its shops, bars and cafes. And nestling between the
trees and fields are numerous tiny Cretan villages with their own traditional
local tavernas and cafes.
A little further along this beautiful coast lies the legendary
Venetian port city of Chania - an easy drive or bus ride away. |
 |
|
Crete Alfresco - set your children
free in safety. In high season there is non-stop,
happy, outdoor holiday fun in the sun for everyone. A
pool, or a sandy beach, or an ice-cream, or new
friendships - all less than 20 metres away!
Plus, the cost of conventional accommodation in the school holiday months of
July and August for a large group may be considerable, and camping offers real
cost benefits - often less than a third the cost of a rented house. |

Friends, colleagues, students, like-minded
people, can form a group, then book and holiday together in one of our tents
holding up to eight people at very low per-person costs – great for singles or
couples on a budget. At quieter times in
Spring and Autumn, simple, sensuous
relaxation for adults and a base for
walking, cycling and exploration. In
north west Crete, we are your
on-the-spot experts - no-one else knows
and loves this beautiful island more
than we do.. |
 |
|
Crete Alfresco –
just turn up with your swimsuit and an
appetite! We provide you with a clean,
comfortable base to relax, or swim, or
walk, or party - and from which you can
tour this wonderful area.
The unique magic of this
inspirational island captivates even the
most exhausted or stressed-out visitor.
Just relax - you're in beautiful
Crete... |

Our camping accommodation is in French-designed luxury
three/four bedroom
frame tents, each pitched on its own plot with plenty of space around for
privacy.
These airy and spacious modern tents measure 8m by 7.5m at their
widest providing accommodation of a spectacular 38 square metres (approximately
410 square feet) - the size of a small house! This is the ultimate in outdoor
living - superbly designed tents, with an incredibly strong outer-framed
structure and featuring huge windows with blinds and screens for both privacy
and ventilation - without insects! Separate sleeping rooms, full
size beds and mattresses, refrigerator, night-time toilet, etc. etc.
In each garden there's a charcoal barbeque for warm summer
evenings under the stars. Char grilled meat or fish with perhaps a salad and a
glass of chilled wine never tasted so good! |

Mythimna Holiday Parc
is essentially a lively taverna and
music bar, open all hours with a
friendly, fun atmosphere. The food is
excellent, featuring many local dishes
in addition to well-known favourites. |
 |
|
There is also a camping
facility in the shade of the trees away
from the beach. The toilets and showers
are spacious and spotlessly clean. There
is no pool, but the parc is directly
opposite the sandy beach across a quiet
lane. This is a location for those who
want to party! Crete Alfresco's tents are in a separate area to the
left of the main parc with their own
private entrance to the beach. |

The Holiday Parc
at Nopigia is quieter and has
more of a family atmosphere in high
season and attracts walkers and cyclists
in the quieter months. The sea here is
also very close across a quiet lane but
the beach is rocky and stony – fabulous
for snorkelling and the sound of the
surf as you drift off to sleep, but
difficult to build sand castles!
However, the absence of
a sandy beach here is more than
compensated for by the fabulous 30 metre
pool complete with a young children’s play-area. |
 |
|
There is a bar, a
taverna and a mini-market adjacent to
the pool. The taverna food at Nopigia is
delicious and always freshly-cooked with
a range of traditional dishes and local
wines. Crete Alfresco's luxury tents at
Nopigia have a separate area and
entrance from the main camping area and
like the rest of the site enjoy cool shade,
calm and privacy - courtesy of the
numerous trees. |
|
 |
|
 |
 |
|
The Nopigia Parc is
proudly run by its owners and their
family and everything is kept spotlessly
clean even at the most busy times. |

You are free to make
your own way to Chania airport or the
ferryport at nearby Souda. We can, if
you wish,
advise you on the best means of travel
wherever you’re coming from. We send you
full directions on how to get to the
parc you have chosen. If you hire a car
(see button at top of page) then
Autokappa will come and collect you and
you return the car to the port at the
end of your stay. Taxis
are cheap in Greece so many people will take a taxi from
the airport and give the travelling tasks to someone
else and live for while without a car in this beautiful
natural paradise. See you soon - with
your swimsuit and your appetite! |
