A place to land

A small house with the calm of a long Sunday.

Ammos Domi — sand house in Greek — is a thoughtfully designed studio on the quiet side of Kalathas...

We built it for travellers who want the privacy of an apartment with the considered details of a small hotel...

"The apartment is modern, spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and located just a 10-minute walk from the stunning Kalathas Beach — soft sand, not crowded at all, truly a hidden gem. The place is super well-equipped with everything you could possibly need. It felt like home from the moment we arrived."

"Our 10-day stay was everything both me and my partner needed. It was perfect. The property is wonderfully modern and spacious, providing everything you need in a cool and stylish environment. Kalathas is a beautifully quiet village — just two bus stops away from Chania. HIGHLY recommend."

"The place looks exactly like the pictures: modernly furnished, clean and equipped with everything you need. Really great pool and just a short walk to the sea. Communication with Nikolaos and his wife was always very friendly. Very quick answers, helpful tips for the region. All in all, really a nice vacation. Absolutely recommended!"

"Impeccable, modern, clean, beautifully furnished home, 10 min walk to an intimate beach, with a wonderful sunset. There is a mini market 2 minutes away from the apartment. I'm happy to recommend it to others!"

"Very nice place to stay, exactly as described. A nice pool that you share with a few others. The sea was close and easily reachable on foot. Nikolaos was very accommodating and gave great recommendations — on request he immediately provided a baby bathtub and a baby bed. He always responded super quickly."

"We had a really good stay in the apartment, which is super modern and nice. It is close to Kalathas beach and, if you want to explore other beaches, you can rent a scooter right next door. Nikolaos as a host was great — always quick to respond and good at providing local tips."
