Jasmine Home with Beach at your Doorstep by 8essentially

This is a lovely little cottage, just one room and a good-sized bathroom, but very spacious. The cottage was very well equipped, we had everything we needed and more. It was great to have a washing machine. The highlight was the garden, plenty of space to laze, read and eat outdoors with sunny and shady areas and completely private. Our hosts were kind and helpful and left us some very welcome treats. Kalyves, especially the western side, is a proper Greek village not just a tourist resort so the shops are well stocked. Plenty of good restaurants an easy walk from the cottage too. We had a great time.

There was nothing we didn't like about the cottage, it was great The only disappointing thing is that most buses don't run through the village so you have to walk to the junction with the highway which takes about 20 minutes. It's not a difficult walk, just a bit tedious.

Well maintained with everything we needed for a self catering holiday. Bakery and convenience stores close by. Restaurants more shops and beautiful beach a short walk away. Totally recommend this property to couples and a small family with young children. Our host was very generous with provisions left for us throughout our stay. A lovely garden at the back too. 🥰

Nothing.

The studio is beautifully furnished, everything seems almost brand new and a lot of thought has gone into everything. The owners sorted a cot, high chair and baby bath for our baby and even left us a toy as a gift which was so thoughtful and there was a lovely bottle of wine and cake for us. The owners and managing agent couldn't have been more helpful - we ended up arriving at 2 in the morning as our baby was unwell and the owner came to meet us and show us around even though there was a key safe. The managers helped with booking an airport taxi with a car seat and with organising activities while we were there. The location is also great, close to tavernas, supermarkets and atms as well as the beach.

The only thing we hadn't quite registered was that the bus stop was about 20 minutes away and you have to walk almost onto the main highway which felt a bit hairy with a pushchair so worth thinking about if you're planning on using public transport. You can hire a car at very low cost locally though so worth considering even for a day or two.
