Cottage vacation rentals in Pyrgos Kallistis

Our stay at Evangelia’s place was easily one of the best experiences I’ve ever had—and I’ve traveled to multiple countries over the past 10+ years! Our host was simply the best I’ve ever encountered. She was kind, friendly, attentive, and always responsive, making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The place itself was immaculate. The interior was spotless, classic, and so well-maintained. Outside, the views were breathtaking. Each night, we were treated to the incredible sight of the Milky Way, and in the mornings, we had the ocean in clear view and goats greeting us as we enjoyed the delicious breakfast our host generously provided. It was so peaceful and quiet—pure tranquility. I’ve been recommending this place to everyone because it truly was the highlight of my trip. The location was also ideal—conveniently in the middle of the island, making it easy to drive to various spots, nothing too far! You’ll definitely need a rental car though! Book this place!!!!!!

Jimmy's is hands down the best airbnb we ever stayed. The surroundings felt like a natural haven and inside the house, exactly as described. We were particularly impressed by the sanitary products provided by the hosts... from toothbrushes to toothpaste to pads and liners to diapers, body wash, conditioner, shampoo. They raised the bar so high, we felt a bit let down with other hosts/hotels on our trip. Above all, we got the chance to meet them before we left and they are the warmest, kindest people. Thank you so much Jimmy and Christina. We will certain be back here if we find ourselves in the area and we will recommend to others too.

Beautiful clean renovated place. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. The place is spacious and can easily accommodate 8 persons. The beach is a five minute walk with some nice restaurants near by. Will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay! The view was absolutely breathtaking, especially from the pool area, which quickly became our favorite spot. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made cooking easy and enjoyable. It also catered perfectly to our baby’s needs. The host and their team were incredibly friendly and attentive, always going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. In the evenings, stargazing from the terrace was magical, adding to the peaceful ambiance. A perfect getaway for families or anyone looking for relaxation in a stunning setting!

Alexander and Karolina from Anthi's team made our visit so amazing. Anthi was so responsive and helpful, the place was beautiful, and Alexander's daily breakfast was the best way to wake up and have private breakfast overlooking the sea. Highly recommend this location if you are looking for a private, beautiful experience. They made such a special trip for us!

We loved this AirBnB so much that within the first hour we had already looked to see if it was free to book an extra night. The location is incredibly peaceful and private, and the property is so cosy and welcoming. Anastasia clearly puts a lot of thought and care into hosting her property and left us with a wide variety of things for breakfast, alongside some other treats.!

Our stay at the villa was perfect. The place was spotlessly clean. The pool was cleaned every morning without affecting our privacy. The location is very good and away from the road, in a quiet place, close to a bakery, shops and beaches. Nikos was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Very convenient accommodation to visit Kalamata (10min drive from the center). Quiet neighborhood, parking space available, clean and with all the necessities. Attention, to find the accommodation, it is not necessary to follow the address on Airbnb but the one on the site sent in a private message (20 Καποδιστρίου, Paralia Vergas, Greece, 241 00). The hot tub is more a large bathtub but is nice for 2 people maximum.

Nice and quiet place where we spent a few days. Beautiful views also of the bay. The stay is very well equipped and the host's tips have set us on our way very well to explore the region.

We loved staying here for our visit. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was well stocked. The location is beautiful in the mountains and the view from the porch is unmatched! It’s about a 20-25 min drive to the closest city Gytheio but not too bad. There’s lots to explore! Would stay here again!

We were allowed to spend a longer time with Bob and Fotine and were very, very satisfied from beginning to end! Both are great, experienced and very friendly hosts. Kurt & Eleni, Zurich Suisse

Melina’s Garden was a beautiful place for us to stay for a couple of nights. It was as described and great that it had a car park protected by a gate. The instructions to get to the Airbnb were very clear. It is only a couple minutes walk to the beach, and Melina had beach towels available for use which was very helpful. It is also a short drive to the town where there are many restaurants. The area is very private. There are lots of dogs in the area that bark throughout the whole night so would recommend bringing some ear plugs. The property is as exactly described in the listing and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The home made marmalades and fresh fruit was also a lovely touch. Thank you Melina!

Great place to stay and awesome host! Located just up the road from good food and the castle.

We spent 3 weeks in this wonderful house and loved it. thank you very much for your hospitality. we enjoyed the sunsets, the garden, the beautiful area.

The Stone House is exactly as it appears. A perfect home to relax, swim and enjoy nearby villages and historic sites. Eleni made us feel like family.

Everything was amazing, the house is very clean and well-equiped. We felt right at home!

We had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The host was very friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. We would definitely come back!

My children and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Mario and his wife. We thank them for all their attention, their very warm welcome, their availability and their great kindness. We've been so touched. Mario and his family go above and beyond to make the place enjoyable and family-friendly. We also recommend this place which has allowed us to make great tours. I fully recommend it. Thank you thank you.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The space was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped. The views of the sea were endless. Our hosts were exceptional. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing and excellent experience, this is the place. We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended!

Stunning cosy home at the top of a hill with mesmerising views. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway, this is it. Peite and Apostolis were great hosts, giving tons of recommendations. If we are every back in Ikaria, we’d hope to stay here again. Thank you!! 😊😊

We have stayed at MANY AIRBNBs and this was by far the best one we have ever been to. The hosts were amazingly responsive. The care and attention to detail of the property is unlike anything I have ever seen in an Airbnb. The location is absolutely outstanding. We enjoyed the beaches, many local attractions and hiking up the canyon trail at the other side of the road from the property. Even though this is a long journey from the West Coast of Canada we are going to do our best to return next year.

We feel extremely fortunate to have found this truly special place in the lovely, rural village of Santhianika.The views of the mountains & sea are fabulous and Vivienne's place is comfortable, homely & light & if like us you will not want to leave. You will need your own transport to get around but shops, beaches & tavernas are around a 20 minute drive (there is a traditional Greek Cafe in the Village). Vivienne is very friendly & hospitable, the perfect host. We highly recommend & hope to return in the not too distant future.

We had a wonderful week in Vasilikos. The cottage was perfect for us, especially with our 2-year-old toddler. There is a great beach nearby – ideal for little ones, as you can walk up to 10 meters into the sea and still stand. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for €20, and everything is just a 5-minute drive from the cottage. There are also lovely traditional restaurants in the area with excellent value for money. Our Tip: Babis Taverna lovely restaurant! Our host Dominique was incredibly kind and welcoming. She even surprised us with a sweet welcome basket, and we truly felt at home. We will definitely be coming back!

Akathistos Cottage is the place to book! We had the most incredible time. The house was beautiful, surrounded by Olive Trees, and just outside of town - within 5 minutes. One of the best parts about our stay was our wonderful host Christos. From the day we arrived, he went the extra mile to ensure we arrived safely and that we were well looked after. Excellent communication and welcoming feeling. We will definitely be staying there again!! Thank you for having us in your beautiful home 😊
