Each room is unique, with silk tapestries and classic or contemporary décor.

Good accommodation is always at a premium in Kalami, one of the prettiest hamlets along Corfu’s favoured northeast coast, so we are delighted to offer these apartments which enjoy an enviable position and views. They are quietly located on the hillside above Kalami, no more than a minute or two's walk (c 100m) down to the beach and village.

There are 12 units here housed on the first and second (top) floors, a mix of studios and apartments. All are spacious and neatly furnished, with an air-conditioned twin bedroom (can be made up into a double on request); a kitchen area with 3-ring mini-oven and fridge; a bathroom with walk-in shower and a hairdryer; safe deposit boxes and a generous covered balcony with dividers for privacy. WiFi is included and an iron and ironing board can be provided on request.

The studios are open-plan and all boast panoramic views over the pool area to the sea and Albania beyond.

The 1-bedroom apartments also possess a separate living room (kitchen area here) with one or two sofa-beds (regular size). Four of the apartments have front sea views – two are to the side of the building and have views to the hillside and, to one side, partial sea views. (These two apartments have excellent balcony privacy as there is only one on each floor and therefore no immediate neighbours).

Below and to the front is the large freshwater swimming pool (18m x 5.5m, depth 0.90m-1.8m) with separate children’s section and spacious furnished pool terrace surrounds.

Kalami is easily reached via a small path (some steps - take a torch), where you will find four atmospheric local tavernas, a café-bar, a pair of mini-markets (one will deliver) and a couple of small bars. Further dining choices can be found over the headland at Agni or Kouloura in c 20 minutes' walk (note: the Agni tavernas often operate a free taxi-boat service in the evenings for their Kalami clients).

Due to the hillside location and a number of steps in the property we would not recommend Kalami Bay to anyone with mobility difficulties.

Kalami is at the heart of Corfu's spectacular north-east coastline, and the hire of a small motor boat is the best way to explore it. 20hp-30hp boats for up to 6 persons can be booked locally (our resort rep can help you with that) and will enable you discover hidden beaches, nearby villages for lunch (Agni takes 5 mins by boat, 15 by car!), even Corfu Town for shopping (1 hour). No previous experience is required as boat handling tuition is given when the boat is supplied. Speedboats are also available for hire for those with a licence.
