Kalimera Apartment

Abbiamo trovato un arredamento accogliente e raffinato, curato in ogni particolare. Ci siamo sentiti accolti da prima di entrare grazie alla disponibilità di Emanuela e la sua mamma che ci hanno procurato il taxi e lo scooter dal nostro arrivo in kalimnos. Frutta fresca ogni giorno e attenzioni fin dopo la nostra partenza. Grazie davvero per le splendide persone che siete. 🤗

Doverla lasciare

I’ve been a Booking user for years and have written more than 250 reviews. I’ve been to Kalymnos three times, but I’ve never had such a great time! I have to commend Manouela and her parents for the warmth, kindness, and hospitality with which they welcomed Alessandra and me into their beautiful apartment! Spacious, new, clean—it has everything you need for a hassle-free vacation! A breathtaking view of Kantouni Beach and the sunset. Just a short walk from the AB supermarket, and conveniently located for reaching all the island’s most beautiful beaches (youcan walk to Platis Yalos). They treated us like friends, not guests: upon arrival, we were greeted with a bottle of wine, raki and some fruit, and a few days later, a melon and figs from the garden. Thank you, Manouela—we’ll be back next year. A 10 with honors!

We stayed in this apartment for a week-long holiday in July. The owners welcomed us very kindly, providing a welcome gift of fruit and wine. Upon arrival, we admired the view from the terrace, which left us speechless. Having breakfast and evening drinks on that terrace was a wonderful experience. The room was cleaned twice during our stay. They provided everything we needed and even helped us out with extra requests (handling minor emergencies). It is in an excellent location for Platis Beach, though having a rental car made it easy for us to get just about anywhere. There are also a couple of beaches accessible on foot via steps, featuring very good restaurants. It is also a great starting point for runners. Highly recommended—great job!

The apartment is really beautiful with a great view. Inside it has everything you need and there are lots of nice complimentary touches to welcome you. Having breakfast out on the balcony was a real pleasure. It is deceptively spacious and quiet. It has a new modern feel to it while still retaining a sense of being traditional. It is a good base to be able to explore the island from - you do really need a car - the car hire place in the village is good. Our favourite beach was Melitsachas but you need to be early to get a sunbed, followed by Masouri. Palionisos is great but quite a long drive. Platis Yialos beach is about a 12 minute walk. Our favourite restaurant in the village was Kafes & Alati, followed by Cardamom

You need to be aware that to get to the restaurants on foot requires using a stepped path - quite a lot of steps - otherwise it is a lengthy walk on the road - and to get to the restaurants on the southern end requires walking on the beach right near the waves where it is difficult not to get wet feet. The beach that you can see from the apartment (Kantouni) is not great, no sunbeds, no beach bar and narrow - there are a number of much better ones for which you need a car. Directions to the apartment could be a lot better - google maps has Studio Saroukas which is just behind Kalimera. There is a parking bay at the apartment but it is quite small and a bit challenging to turn around. The apartment does not have a safe.
