Accommodation

Potami Kalivia - 7 nights – self catering basis

Book Travel and lots more with EXPEDIA.co.uk
Potami Kalivia consists of two very private and individual cottages. The Kalivia (cottages) are full of character with elegant and rustic interior decors entirely suited to the gloriously peaceful rural setting. The Kalivia are set on the hillside overlooking the Potami valley on land that has been in the Kohilis family for over one hundred years. The owner Yiannis and his wife have created the project themselves with much thought, care and attention being given to each individual detail.

Whilst enjoying the most remote and peaceful rural setting, Potami Kalivia are ideally located to appreciate the benefits of the entire island - be that the harbour life of Skopelos Town, the array of beaches nearby or the traditional villages of the north.
