Garifalo
About
In Crete, Garifalo operates as a guest house at Epar.Od. Kalivon-Georgioupolis 51, Kalives 730 03, Greece. The property is known for its position in Kalives, a village on the island's north-western coast between Chania and Rethymno. Guests rate Garifalo 4.4 out of 5 from 31 reviews. Its website, garifalohotel.com, provides further details about the accommodation.
First-time visitors should expect a small-scale guest house rather than a large resort, with Kalives and the surrounding coast within walking distance. Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia lie further east along Crete's northern road. Matala and Elafonisi are among the destinations that guests might reach on a day trip from this base.
Greek island cooking centres on seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats. Most Greek islands are rocky and hilly, and olives, grapes and capers grow widely on terraced slopes.
The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, which matters for anyone planning onward travel. Only some Greek islands have airports, and others are reached mainly from Athens or through a larger hub island. Garifalo suits visitors who want a quieter base on Crete's north-western coast.
