Kalimera Mare

"An outstanding family run hotel in a peaceful setting with charming staff and delicious Greek food. We took half board, choosing our main course (for dinner) in the morning and selecting our starters and desserts from the large hot & cold buffet, all extremely tasty. The tranquil pool area has lovely open views with just the sound of water bubbling and no loud jarring music. The rooms are spotless and up to date, large walk in showers and modern fitments. Windows and doors have sliding insect screens allowing fresh air but take a plug-in mosquito zapper just in case! We didnt hire a car as buses stop right outside. A great choice and would go back."

"Stunning is the only word to describe this little piece of paradise. Perched at the very edge of Kardamena it is the place to come if you are seeking a peaceful and relaxing break. Having said that there are regular buses that run into the village and return every hour. Otherwise it’s about a 45-1hr walk along the coastal road. There are also car hire options. Owned by the same family for years it is maintained to perfection with beautiful gardens and a lovely swimming pool. Some of the rooms have been refurbished to a very high standard. The hotels offers bed and breakfast which is served buffet style with an adequate selection of hot and cold options as well as juices, tea and coffee. Meals can either be taken on the balcony terrace or inside. There is also an option to have a reasonably priced 3 course evening meal, where the mains are cooked to order, a d starters and desserts are help yourself from the central table. The pool area is simply beautiful with comfortable padded lounges and there is also a beach with umbrellas and sunbeds too. A small, but adequate gym can be found in the basement with a variety of machines and weights. Every Thursday there is a Greek night with traditional dancers and Greek food on the outdoor terrace. This is reasonably priced to and is always busy. Ask Kosmas at reception for a table reservation. All the staff here are delightful and very friendly. If there was an award for best small hotel in Kardamena, then this place would win it hands down!"

"Just returned home from this lovely little place. The most stunning grounds and the sea so blue. Not much beach ,it's all sea. Very rocky into the sea, too. The pools are lovely and quiet and not a sunbed war in sight. Staff are so lovely and very accomadating. There is no entertainment only greek night on a Thursday. It's all about relaxation and chilling here.Breakfast was basic, but adequate. Didn't have dinner ate out every day. There is a bus just outside reception to take you into Kardamena, which is a must. No good for kids, they would be bored unless they are very little, and just happy with pools and the sea. I would absolutely return though."
