Kalimera Village

We absolutely loved our stay at Kalimera Village. We were looking for smaller (number of rooms, rather than size of rooms), traditional accommodation in the hope that we would get a more personal and authentic experience. Kalimera was perfect. We stayed with our 2 teenage (tall) children and were in one of the rooms yet to be renovated. It suited us perfectly, it had two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two balconies, it was plenty big enough for us all. It was basic but very clean and had everything we needed. The bedrooms had air-conditioning at no extra cost and the apartment was cleaned every other day. We used the pool on most days and quite often had it to ourselves. We booked for Bed and Breakfast, and each morning the lovely Kosta provided us with a fabulous breakfast, with the bonus of an amazing view overlooking the sea. Kostas and Anna really made a difference to our stay, they were both so welcoming and accommodating. Kalimera is just a short walk from the restaurants and bars of Piskopiano with a large selection of good quality options to choose from. The closest restaurant is about a three-minute walk away (Kostas Taverna - well worth a visit, lovely people and lovely food) and the spa at the bottom of the hill is great for all the basics and lovely fresh salads, rolls and pastries too. We couldn't fault our stay; we loved it and did not want to leave - we hope to come back again one day.

We stayed at Kalimera Village for 13 nights. Had a lovely stay and would return in the future! We stayed comfortably in the classic apartment. The room was basic but had everything we needed. It was cleaned every two days, with fresh bedding and towels. We were surprised to have shower gel provided due to it being self-catering. The safe and air-con were also free, which was an added bonus. We were surprised with how many bars and restaurants were nearby (5 min walk). There is a whole street full with many cuisines. The only downside was the wifi which only worked in the kitchen area and poolside. Also, the walk up from Hersonissos was painful! The hill was unbelievably steep! 20 minute walk minimum, but we found we didn’t need to go down that often due to many food places near by.

Very nice apartments that have a rustic feel in a really nice location. We booked these apartments for a few nights before onward journey elsewhere in Crete. We would usually always stay by the coast but it was very nice staying up the hill and in the villages and the small pool is perfect to keep you cool. The owner showed lots of hospitality and the breakfast is simple but nice too. There are lots of very good restaurants near by and would recommend exploring the near by villages at night. We had a great time and hope to return next year. Would recommend for value for money.
