Kallisti

We have been going to Greece for well over 30 years and we say this is the best accommodation for the welcome and care, location and facilities we have stayed in. Due to road works (installing new electric cables) Jet2 dropped us off at the traffic island but we were met by Sonia and husband and ferried down to Kallisti. After what seemed a very long and boring transfer in the dark (near 2hours) it was a great relief to be met but as we were later to learn this is just the level of care and support you get from Sonia and her family. The ground floor rooms (102 and 103) have one double and one single bed. There is a balcony with a side sea view. They were well equipped with kettle, toaster etc though we ate out all the time so don’t know about the cooking equip but it looked as if you had everything you would need. There was even a mosquito plug in and a few inserts provided. There were towels, tea towels which were changed regularly along with bed sheets. Bin emptied every day and room cleaned regularly. The bath rooms had an enclosed shower and a hook to hang up he shower. Liquid soap was provided as well as plenty of toilet rolls. The safe was free as was the aircon though we only used it a little (at most a total of a couple of hours) even though it was very hot outside. The Wi-Fi was a bit patchy on the balcony of 102 but adequate inside the room. The attached café does a fair range of breakfasts, drinks and ice creams. You can also get bottles of water from Sonia delivered to your door without the need for a trip to the supermarket. There is a selection of books to borrow in the bar. Unfortunately, I had a medical incident at the end of our first week and had to be admitted to Kalamata hospital. The help and advice of Sonia and her family in organising taxis etc was essential in navigating the health systems etc. They could not have done more than if they were family. We were so grateful they were there for us. We also had excellent help from the Jet2 rep with continuous contact and updates and offers to help. For the return journey the minibus was able to pick us up outside Kallisti and only took just over an hour. We were there for the first two weeks of June with Jet2 from Birmingham and have only just gotten around to writing this so I may have missed things so if anyone has questions, I would be happy to try and answer.
