Kallisti Appartements & Bar & Breakfast — Hotel in Municipality of Pylos and Nestor

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...

My Wife , & I .. can only echo what other peeps have already said regarding this establishment . Sonia (Sophia) & Vasillis are perfect hardworking hosts , & their Family run business .. is for us .. perfectly situated . Having had a good look around whilst in Finikounda , we wouldn't have wanted to have stayed anywhere else . This was our "first ever" trip to the Greek mainland , having done the Islands for many years .. & we couldn't have chosen a nicer abode or area . We've also never had toilet rolls , kitchen cloths , kitchen wash up sponge , tea towel & washing up liquid supplied before anywhere . The kettle , & toaster looked brand new ( never used the latter ) .. plus there was plenty of storage space in our apartment too .. just bring some pegs as the ones there had seen better days ( very minor point ) . .. If you pay a bit extra , the sea views on the front of Kallisti are lovely . We requested ground floor because of being both 70 yrs old , along with 22 kg cases .. & got what we had asked for ( efcharisto Sonia ) . The side views , what all rooms have apart from the front .. were lovely also .. but obviously not a patch on the front aspect . No issues with the Wi-Fi , & the room television had BBC World News on ch' 20 .. if you felt the need to be depressed . All in all , "THE" best self catering apartments we've ever had the pleasure of using .. can't understand why there are not more reviews in general about this fine establishment .. perhaps it's because it's a GEM ! . One final point , Finikounda has EASILY the best Supermarket we've ever encountered on our Greek travels .. so unexpected for such a smashing little Fishing Village . Our favourite resturants were Elena , To Kapabi & Omega ( with the incredible Anastasia ) . As a footnote too , if your flight is late in the day arriving .. as was ours after the Stansted debacle on May 11th . The afore mentioned supermarket will likely be closed , so walk about 200 yds further on .. up the main road to the left .. where the mini market stays...

An enjoyable one week stay through Jet 2. Can also be booked independently. Warm welcome, clean and very well equipped with good storage space. Comfortable, but beds are very firm. Hot water depends on solar panels. Some drinks and snacks available out front.||||Sea view apartment ideal in October, probably less so in mid-summer, though having both shutters and curtains, most of the direct sun could be excluded. Aircon at extra charge. Side SV rooms give SV only from the balcony.||||Good location. Safe swimming from the beach in front, with some sand. Children might prefer the beach nearer to the harbour. There’s a kids’ playground next door. At the quieter end of Finikounda, but this means you’re closer to Loutsa (another good beach), by steep path and some...
