We stayed in this lovely villa in august 2017 with 4 adults and 3 kids. We are enthusiastic about the house, the surroundings and off course our great host Stefanos. The villa is really cosy, spacious, modern and clean. It fulfilled all our expectations. The villa is cleaned properly every 3 a 4 days including fresh towels and bed sheets .
The panorama view from the garden is incredible. You see fields of olive trees, mountains and Kalamari on the top of a hill. Actually the house and garden looks better than the pictures.This is a particular house because Stefanos put a lot of effort in all details. The swimming pool is approximately 9 x 4 meter and 1,40 meter deep and cleaned every morning.
At our arrival the fridge was stocked, with fruit and vegetables from his own garden. And if you want, you can pick more from the garden which is located next to the house. You find a supermarket in the centre of Kalamaki 300 m from the villa.
Our great host Stefanos invited us for a short trip to an ancient olive tree. The age of this tree is something about 2500 years. It’s a very powerful and peaceful place also worth the visit. The trip went further to Festos an archaeological site 10 km from Kalimari. Nice sightseeing if you like but in August too hot for the kids and even for us to visit.
If you want to explore the environment than I highly recommend too hire a car because there is no public transport in this area.
The beach Kalamaki is 2 km from the house and has a 200 m boulevard with good restaurants and bars. The 3 km beach is great and not so touristic and very laid back. If you want a romantic evening you can see the sunset from this picturesque place.
Also Komo beach is worth to visit. This beach is also stunning and equipped with umbrellas and beach bars and is non-touristic. 5 km from Kalamari you find Matala. Matala has something for everyone. Although it has become a popular tourist destination it still retains the charm and character of a quiet fishing village.
In summary we had a great holiday and all ingredients are there to have the time of your life. I definitely recommend this place and hopefully we will return sometime in the near future.
