Callinika Apartments

Hi Julia,

There is a shop just down the hill from Callinka 3 on the corner a minute away and also a supermarket over the road from Callinka 2. The shops bars and restuarants on the main drag into Tsilivi are about 5 mins away just past the chippee and the horse & carts /taxis. The beach is a 10mins stroll from Callinka and we found a short cut - you cross the main road and come out near Friends bar - head down to the Caravel Hotel, go round the corner and your there.The Kaliva Bar is on the corner (I recommend this bar -its great) another bar I would recommend at the other end of town about 25mins walk away is the Paradise bar -this is the best bar in Greece and you can never leave -give a go and try the Yannis Special -there wicked! Have a great holiday at Callinka -as we did .

Just returned from Callinika 3 on 26th August. Although basic but clean we could not fault the apartments with fantastic sea views from our balcony at the back and pleasent pool views at the front. Dont expect more than one change of towels or sheets all week but the full English at 5 eoros more than made up for it .The best value breakfast in Tsilivi by far -I don't know how they do it!

If you fancy a nightcap, call in at Callinika 2 bar and you will be made very welcome by Spiros the handsome greek guy  who is more than happy to stay open as long as you want too and some nights we wondered back by the short cut up the steps   to our apartments at the top of the killer hill at 5am!!We met some lovely people there from Newcastle and Birmingham and would not hesitate to go back to Callinika Apartments Yiamas

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

Thanks Lesley & Paul for the info on Callinika and yes, we will have a great time in Tsilivi - we always do!  We dont mind walking as long as we can stop in a bar or two on the way to the Paradise bar (best bar in Greece)  to see Stavros "YES YES YES" Yiannis "The Master" Marios "The Disaster" Oliver "The Clown" and not forgeting Nick "the DJ"  guess we will need one of those horsey things to get us home  or we could call in a bar near Callinika - for a night cap - know any good ones down that end? Hope your sister has a great time too! Yammas

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!

Can anyone tell me where Callinika 3 are situated ? I beleive they are at the Planos end of Tsilivi. We have just booked last minute for a week on 19th August - 4 adults, but I am bit worried about the hill and the distance into the town centre and Paradise Bar/Cosmopolitan Apartments  where we have stayed for the past 4 years. 

Have a great time!
