Hello everybody...I need a little help from those who stayed at Callinka 3 app in Tsilivi.

Returned from Tsilivi 12th August used Libra appartments several times. We had a great holiday and appartments were what you expect in Greece clean but basic but at the end of the day you only sleep in them. We did discover that if you want clean towels you have to leave dirty ones on the floor not dry and folded  up  like we did! Pool was nice and not a rush on sunbeds could do with some mats to lie on. the family are lovely Thassos the son of one of the sisters is going to be an olympic swimmer or be in charge of 18-30 events when old enough!!  The hill is not too bad if you cut through the bar we managed it and as our kids say we are old!!! Try the Drunk Moon Bar and then the hill is no problem!!!

Hi Carole,

Not sure of any bars up near Callinika but there are definately plenty along the walk through town to Paradise! In fact, if you tried them all you would never get Paradise (just think of the fun you'd miss out on!).....................is anyone in the desert?!! Only a week to go - you lucky people . Just got back from Manchester Airport, took my sister for a trial run so she knows what to do and where to go, she hasn't been abroad since we were kiddies (bless her cottons!) and was a bit nervous about the whole thing! She is travelling with her 2 daughters (16 & 7).  Hope you all have a great time

Hi Carole,

Yes, the Callinika Apts are out of town towards Planos, there is  a small hill up to the apts but it is only very small (more of a driveway really).  My sister is also going here on 19th August and we went to have a look where they were while we were in Tsilivi in June.  You are only a short walk from the beginning of the towns restaurants and bars but as it's the other end of town, the Parardise Bar "you can never leave" (Oliver is such a clown!!) is about half an hrs walk - you could always jump on a horsey thing for 5 Euros, they'll get you home safe and sound!  We have been to Tsilivi 5 times since June 2004 and it doesn't really matter where you stay, you're still guaranteed good entertainment!  Have a great time in August - wish we were going back!

Just arrived home from staying at the callinica 3 appartments.  It was a lovely holiday.  It is Greece, therefore expect basic accomodation.  This was our third time to a Greek island, and the accomodation was the best we've stayed in!  There is no air conditioning, which we could have done with, as at this time of year the temperatures were reaching the 40's during the day!  We did hire a fan for 20 Euros for two weeks, that did help! The apartments were clean, nice balcony overlooking the sea.  The pool was lovely, with a great little bar for drinks and snacks.  The family running the place were very friendly, and would sort any problems out.  The hill isn't as bad as some people have made it out to be.  I suppose it depends on how fit you are, but we were fine.  Loads to see and do around Tsilivi, and I recommend Dionysos Tours for any trips you want to do.  We went Scuba diving down at St. Nicholas Beach which was fab, went on a Turtle trek, and went to Shipwreck beach before it got too busy.  The Beach is fantastic if you don't want to stay by the pool all day.  But Callinica 3 is great if you want a relaxing holiday, a little exercise to walk off all the gorgeous Greek food you eat, and a nice friendly atmosphere.  Also check out Utopia bar on the main street in Tsilivi, and the Miami Snack bar on the beach - they're fab!
