Sweet Kalimera Apartments

“If you’re not after luxury just a nice clean room and a beautiful pool Sweet Kalimera is the place.”

Sweet Kalimera, is lovely in the fact there are only 14 rooms, so no real noise from other visitors. The rooms are dated (I understand they are slowly being updated ) but very clean.

Sweet Kalimera, is lovely in the fact there are only 14 rooms, so no real noise from other visitors. The rooms are dated (I understand they are slowly being updated ) but very clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable and again very clean, if I had to say one thing it would be the bathroom and the shower, or should I say the shower hose over the bath, the temperature was very temperamental and sometimes took minute adjustments to go from freezing cold to boiling hot, to just right! We also managed to flood the bathroom every night despite trying different positions of the hose, we finally realised that the bottom of the bath had some cracks which of course the water seeped through onto the floor. Mr George, his daughter, and son in law Marius are always on hand if you need anything or have a problem. You do have to pay for the air conditioning, but you are able to see if you need it, if you don’t you don’t pay, if you do you can pay at the end of your stay and you don’t pay for the first night if like us you arrive in the evening. The snack bar is lovely serving a variety of different foods from waffles to baguettes and salads. It also served most alcoholic beverages as well as a range of coffees. The pool, argh the pool, for me the pool was the highlight, large and again meticulously clean as was the pool area with plenty of sunbeds. We didn’t venture to the adjoining beach as it was rather small and the loungers really needed some tlc. Sweet Kalimera is a fair walk into town if you don’t have a car, we saw lots of people walking but bear in mind the road is fairly narrow, not very well lit and some steep drop offs where some erosion has taken place. Places we liked to eat. Banana Beach, run by a British couple every type and combination of breakfast you could ever want, Yo Yo’s, also does lovely breakfasts but lunches are the best. If you like football Yannis has all the major matches on two large tv’s, and occasionally live music. Anna’s, family run with a huge menu to suit all palettes. Chris’s again a wide variety of dishes on offer and reasonably priced, Sunbeams, right on the waters edge offering a higher end menu so slightly more pricey but a lovely atmosphere and again live music on select nights. We will be back in 2027 as it is our happy place

“An absolute gem of a place.”

We stayed as a couple for 8 nights in June 2025. All of the staff are really welcoming and helpful. Our flight from Gatwick was due in quite late and it was delayed so we got to Kos after midnight.

We stayed as a couple for 8 nights in June 2025. All of the staff are really welcoming and helpful. Our flight from Gatwick was due in quite late and it was delayed so we got to Kos after midnight. Mr George, the owner, very kindly stayed up and checked us in. Marios and all the other staff were all lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Marios even gave us a lift into Kardemana when we missed the bus. The whole complex was spotlesslessly clean. Room was cleaned every day and towels every few days. Lovely sea view from the balcony. Pool area was lovely with plenty of sun beds. Coffee making facilities and a fridge were in the apartment which was a god send. A/C is payable locally but only 5euros a day. Honestly, we couldn't fault it and we will be returning in June next year.

“Good atmosphere and some great lunchtime snacks!”

We didn’t stay in the apartments but it was our midday spot for lunch. Made to feel very welcome and the food, atmosphere and staff were fantastic!

Mario and George were fantastic. Always helpful and attending to any need. The apartments are very outdated and an eyesore. The pool was fantastic but more shaded areas would have been great as the sun was always so hot and the umbrellas were but enough shade. You had to pay 5 euros per day for air con use. never seen that in all our travels around Greece over the last two months. Also you could not keep the air con on when you step out as the card was welded to the keys. The air con turned off when you opened your balcony door. It is 20 min walk from the town and you need a car to get around as the evenings were so hot and humid. There is also a bus that comes near the apartment to take you into town. Next door as a resort that you can use for dinner and we loved their greek night, highly recommend. The beach across the road is stunning and you will need rock shoes.
