You will find Kalivi Karavi in the ancient settlement of Atheato (or Mahala as it is also known locally) just outside the unspoilt town of Glossa, Glossa Port (Loutraki) being the first stop from Skiathos ( 20 mins by ferry).

Main access to Kalivi Karavi is via a peaceful winding track starting at the local bus stop, where you will be met, if required. We encourage nature lovers who enjoy walking and exploring the many ancient tracks through the pristine pine forests that Skopelos is famous for.

Following the path through Atheato while admiring the old buildings and cobbled street, you arrive at Kalivi Karavi - a traditional stone built single storey farmhouse, surrounded by grape vines, honeysuckle and fruit trees. Accessed via an archway with wrought iron gate you enter a private enclosed garden
with stone terraces and a freshwater pool with many areas to sit in shade or sunbathe.


The main kalivi suits a couple or single adult, comprising one bedroom with a king size bed, a fully equipped kitchen/ diner / living room ( 2 sofas) + a full length mirror, wardrobe, chest of drawers outside the ensuite solar heated shower/wc /washbasin. ( see photos)

The adjoining old stone built kalivi has a double bed, a sofa bed, double wardrobe with ensuite solar powered shower/ wc and wash basin, with teak worktops. This room has the original beams, tiled floor and traditional fireplace. It is not let independently of the main kalivi but incurs an additional fee per night if required for extra guests (tba)

Kalivi Karavi has stunning views out over a wooded valley above Loutraki Harbour and many Greek islands including Evia and Skiathos. You are facing southwest with sunsets to applaud every evening.
The completely self- contained kalivi is within a beautiful terraced garden accessed only by a lockable gate.
A wooden veranda runs the length of the Pelion stone terrace, shaded by ancient fruit trees, edged with herbs and fragrant flowers. Below is the sun bathing terrace amidst vines and rose bushes.

Overlooking the freshwater pool (6 x 3 m with1.20 - 1.80 depth) is a shady pergola complete with pomegranite bush, cafe table and chairs.
In addition there is a laundry room should you wish to use the washing machine, a shed and another small courtyard complete with a hammock strung between the fruit trees.

Depending on your time of stay there are oranges, lemons, tangerines, apricots, cherries, apples, pears, pomegranites, and grapes to enjoy. Just outside this idyllic Garden of Eden are old mule tracks that can lead you on explorations down to the beach or tavernas at Loutraki (20 minutes on foot) Palio Klima (20 minutes), and further afield to the stunning beaches on the north coast (90 minutes on foot)
Order a taxi for your return perhaps!


Both studio and main kalivi have air conditioning or heating, solar heated water backed up by an immersion for the showers/ sinks should you require it. The windows have fly screens, the king size bed has a mosquito net and white handmade lace curtains. The furnishings are simple traditional Greek style, white walls and ceilings, rag rugs and tiled floors.

The main kitchen area is well equipped with all requirements met for self catering, including full size oven, dishwasher, fridge with an extending wooden table + 4 hard back traditional style wooden chairs.
