FOTINIS KALIVI
Accommodation: Sleeps 2
INTERIOR
The entrance to the cottage, (meaning kalivi in Greek) leads to a
single room with sofa and a central dining table. The country feel is
evident in the dιcor with its corner fireplace, pine furniture and
traditional built-in sofa. The small kitchen is situated just off the
sitting room and is adequately equipped for simple meals with a small
cooker that has two hobs. There is a lovely covered patio with sea views
to Glysteri bay, located just outside the front door so that serving
meals is easy and convenient. The w/c shower room is also found on the
lower level of the house.
From the sitting room,
there is a steep ladder-like stairway which leads to the upper-level
bedroom. The ceiling is open wood beamed and the pine is carried through
to the flooring in this room. It is cozy and comfortable and furnished
with a double bed and small sitting area with table and chairs next to a
low window. There is a romantic feel to the entire house but especially
in this spacious bedroom under the slanted roof rafters.
EXTERIOR
The best asset of Fotinis Kalivi is its outdoor spaces and levels of
outdoor terraces. Near the house is a covered patio facing down the
valley to the sea and has a built-in BBQ for ease in creating wonderful
al fresco meals. The
next level up, just above the house, is the private pool with spacious
terraces where the sun shines till the early evening hours. For those
times when shade is preferred, there is an additional terrace, covered
by a gazebo from which the views are stunning facing to the sea at
Glysteri beach. These private terraces make the perfect setting for
morning coffee, a romantic meal or just a glass of ouzo as the sun
slowly sinks behind the hills.
SURROUNDINGS
The area surrounding the kalivi is perfect for those looking for peace
and privacy. Although the cottage itself is in a rather isolated
position at the bottom of a long driveway, it is only a short drive to
reach the town of Skopelos where there is a complete array of waterfront
restaurants, cafes and shops. The beach of Glysteri which the cottage
overlooks can be reached in less than 10 minutes by car. Glysteri Beach
has a lovely waterfront taverna which specializes in seafood and the
stony beach has some of the clearest waters on the island. The beach of
Glyfoneri is even closer to the cottage and is a lovely small beach with
several choices of traditional tavernas overlooking the sea. There are
plenty of hiking and walking trails throughout the area including trails
leading to the other side of the island.
SUITABILITY
Fotinis Kalivi is a great choice for couples who want a peaceful and
romantic holiday in a very private setting. The covered patio with
built-in BBQ and gazebo terrace, give lots of areas spend the long warm
days in comfort and tranquillity.
