I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this beautiful house in the charming village of Marpissa. John and Mary are the perfect hosts, their warm hospitality was present throughout my stay. John came and picked me up at the port and drove me to the house, which is even more charming than in the pictures, in perfect condition, and has everything you'd need. There was even food, water and a bottle of wine in the fridge, which was very welcome as I arrived late in the evening.
The village is quiet, cosy, has the shops you need for groceries and such, but doesn't have a touristy feel, unlike several of the other villages on the island. A bonus in my book. From the first floor balcony you have a view of the ocean, part of the village and a small mountain with a church on top.
John was very generous in answering any questions, with recommendations for exploring the island, and he even lent me a bike for free. I can't recommend Callisto highly enough, you will not be disappointed!
