Mario's house

It is a beautiful traditional house owned by a wondeful host. We loved to feel the day by day life in Kallirakhi.

This accommodation is a real insider tip on the island of Thasos! It is located in the village Kallirachi, which is about 3km away from the sea coast. As it lyes below a small mountain there it is a bit cooler than at the coast. Please don't get the idea to drive your own car right to the house! The village roads are very narrow and steep, so only the locals can make it. The hosts will pick you and your luggage up from the nearby parking lot and bring you/it there at the end as well. The hosts are both very nice, helpful and always available. The house itself is clean and very well maintained. Everything is there that you might need during your stay, but unfortunately no coffee machine and no washing machine. In 15 meters from the house is a wonderful bakery, 5 minutes away in the center is a "simple" but a "real" Greek taverna with great offer. I would highly recommend this place!

Our hosts, Dimitra and Marios, were extremely kind and helpful!

The hosts were awesome, they met every need, very responsive, house was clean and comfortable, secure, Wifi, AC, good view

The only NEGATIVE thing, which I just need to mention (especially if you are travelling with elders) is that in the description of the house there's no mention of the steep uphill walk from the center of the village to the house. Yes it's a 3 min walk, yes the hosts offer to get your luggage with a van up to the house when you are checking in, and when you checkout, but that does not compensate the fact that every time you are walking to the house, climbing that steep uphill is an exercise of its own.... at least twice a day...in hot summer, usually loaded with bags/groceries.... This was not in the description, and proved to be very disappointing experience. I would not go there with elder people..as it was in our case. There's NO practical parking to be used, as you are told that other people park in the shared parking area, (so we parked at the village center). Also climbing to the house with your car, you have to be VERY EXPERIENCED not to scratch it..... Sorry but this had to be in the house's description!! And this is the only reason I lower my vote!
