The old 300-people-village of Kamilari is located on a small hill in the rural region of the Messara-plains. The road that leads from the famous place of Phaistos to the village of Matala is about one mile away. The people get their income from agriculture and from tourism. Foreigners are very welcomed. In Kamilari there are no big hotels or all-inclusives. There are a few private guest houses and apartments. Most of the visitors are spending their holidays in Kamilari for years. Having arrived in the 21st century the village has kept its charm and privacy. Nearly all people of Kamilari and their guests speak English. There are some mini-markets for the every day use and some taverns, where you can also try special Cretan food. It is still cheap in the south of Crete.
