Kalives: A wonderful seaside village, retaining the pace of the local lifestyle. The White Mountains dominate the area behind it and provide a dramatic backdrop that contrasts the sandy beaches. There are two beaches, one near our apartment long and sandy with several beach-tavernas, and a small fishing harbour. The other one, 1 km away, is at the edge of the central village and rarely gets busy.
Kalives without being spoiled by tourism provides all the necessary amenities for couples and families. The local square, shaded by a huge plane tree, has the traditional kafeneion where tourists get-together with locals and watch the world go by! Lovely colourful churches, several shops and supermarkets blend-in perfectly with the tourist accommodation that includes from small cottages, to apartment complexes and hotels.
There are wonderful walks in this lush area, including the Diktamos Gorge, the walk or biking rout to Stylos and the fresh watersprings, the walk or drive to Almirida
