Absolutely lovely family running this property. Could not do enough to help. My husband was ill for a few days and they were wonderful and so helpful. Apartment was large and very clean. Beach just across the road with their own sunbeds. Would highly recommend

“One of the best holidays we've ever had. Wonderful!”
Location was fabulous, just off the beach. Our hosts, Irina and Leonardis were very friendly and nothing was too much to ask of them. Regular cleaning of the apartment was first class. We've already booked for next year!

“Great seaview apartment in the centre of Kalyves.”
Very spacious apartment facing directly onto the beach, with two seaview balconies. Well equipped and spotlessly clean. Family run, and the owners were friendly and helpful. There's a snack bar on site, and free sun beds on the beach for residents. Great location in the centre of Kalyves with some excellent tavernas, bars and cafes close by.

“Lovely place in every aspect!”
Where to start? First of all, the location right by the beach feels like a dream. A few steps and you can have your morning swim in the sea, how great is that! Kalyves is a wonderful little place to relax and sunbath for a week (or two!), unfortunately I stayed only a few days. The Apartments themselves are light and airy, well designed and a wonderful place to holiday in. Self-catering, but several big water bottles were provided, which came in very handy. Another reviewer wrote, “everything works at Garifalo”, and that describes it just to the point. The hosts are absolutely amazing in the way how they keep everything up to a high standard, simple, down to earth, but just perfect! Some good mini markets, local shops, and pharmacies — as well as the bus stop — not even five walking minutes inland from Garifalo, and same distance along the beach to quite a few beachfront tavernas and restaurants. I was given an Appartement with a sew view, a balcony AND a terrace, and I can strongly recommend it. Lovely morning light too. Last but not least, Irina and her husband are the best hosts you could wish for — welcoming, professional and kind. They allowed me to check out late, which saved a very sunny day! And yes, I definitely want to come back.

“Loved it and can't wait to be back!”
Perfect location right by my favourite stretch of the beach. Amazing view from all windows/balconies. Spacious apartment and spotlessly clean. The hosts are so nice and helpful if you need them. Irina brought me a complimentary 6 pack of water which I really appreciate! All windows/balconies have sliding mosquito nets so for anyone with a phobia like me you can be sure there are no bugs whatsoever and you can also have unobstructed view if you want. I was there by myself and I felt really safe and enjoyed my stay so much I can't wait to be back!
