Kamilari, a quiet village in southern Crete.Kamilari is located in southern Crete, very close to Tymbaki, Mires andthe seaside villages of Kalamaki and Matala. Kamilari is 4 km from the archaeological site of Phaistos, and is an ideal location for those who want to explore the beautiful Messara Valley with its picturesque villages, rich history and of course the beautiful bays and beaches of southern Crete.Kamilari is built on top of three hills. It is a peaceful place with panoramic views of the olive groves of the plain of Messara, the peaks of Psiloritis, and the Mediterranean Sea.The village is very close to the beaches of the region. You will feel the strong traditional nature of its small houses, picturesque alleyways, and unique views. It has all the characteristics of a typical Cretan village, with its small Main Square, church, and traditional and colourful cafes.The name of the village, myths and history"Kamilaris" means camel driver and is a name that dates from the Byzantine period. Speculation has it that originally, Kamilaris referred to the castle-guard in 1583.But history here goes much further back. In 1959, a vaulted tomb was discovered near the village, dating to the beginning of Minoan-New Palace period. We have our local myths as well. In the settlement Metochi, located just outside the village of Kamilari, lived Epimenides, one of the seven wise men of ancient Greece. Legend has it that he spent 57 years in a deep sleep. Our village is well preserved. In the years that Crete was plagued by raids, Kamilari proved to be an ideal location - being situated on a hill protected it from damage.
