Villa KaliMeera - family holiday at Corfu

The south of Corfu is known for its long sandy beaches. From Villa KaliMeera at the village of Marathias you have a magnificent view of the Golden Beach, which really deserves its nickname. The huge garden invites you to a fun and relaxed family holiday in Greece.
  • Highlights of this family holiday in Corfu with children:

    • Child-friendly accommodation with large garden and magnificent view to the sea
    • Restaurant on exposed roof terrace
    • Exciting and relaxing family program
    • Long, shallow sandy beach

    On the West coast and far to the south of Corfu lies the village of Marathias. At his feet is the golden Beach. It connects two beaches, the Marathias beach and the Santa Barbara Beach. The border is a small water run into the sea. It is a pleasure to walk barefoot here, towards Agios Georgios Agirades and in the south to Vitalades. Here guests of this unusual family hotel on Corfu can enjoy the wonderful nature, the beach and the sea air, or even collect stones and mussels. The gently sloping fine sandy beach is especially ideal for children to play in the water and build sandcastles. With a lot of luck, the families can even observe the sea turtles Caretta caretta while hatching. For safety, equipment and environmental work, the beach has been awarded the Blue flag several times. The family-friendly accommodation villa KaliMeera in Corfu’s south is about a 10-minute walk from the beach. The House by the Sea is therefore ideal for a bathing holiday with children.

    The Villa KaliMeera - a child-friendly hotel on Corfu in the middle of nature

    Would you like to book a child-friendly hotel in Corfu? Then you are exactly at the right address. The Villa KaliMeera is perched in the midst of meadows and olive trees on a small hill. Due to this special location, the child-friendly accommodation on Corfu offers a magnificent view in all directions, to the sea and over the many olive groves. Experiencing the sunset here is a force. Terraces and gardens offer comfortable seating and hammocks, so you can always find a quiet spot for a good book. Children have a lot of freedom of movement and discover the nature around the villa, for example in the shady ’ magic forest ’, or meet in the tipi. However, Villa KaliMeera is not an ordinary family hotel on Corfu. Learn more below.

    All the accommodation units of the child-friendly hotel on Corfu overlook the sea. There are eight studios and five apartments. The approx. 18 sqm Twin Studios have a balcony or terrace, refrigerator, air conditioning (for a fee) and new bathrooms with shower/WC. An extra bed is available in most studios. Larger families with children can use two studios next to each other with a connecting balcony. The approx. 36 sqm 3- room apartments have two bedrooms, a small lounge, fridge, air conditioning (for a fee) and also new bathrooms with shower/WC and a large balcony or terrace. The accommodation units are located on the ground floor and the upper floor.

    If you want to cook something for yourself at noon, you can use one of the two communal kitchens.

    The studios at the Thalassa House (approx. 130 meters from Villa KaliMeera) are similarly equipped and also have a view to the sea. The studios in Haus Spyros (approx. 130 meters from Villa KaliMeera) are a little bigger, have a cooking possibility and look to the olive groves.

    Feasting with sea view in the south of Corfu

    A family holiday in Greece also includes the enjoyment of Greek cuisine. On the sun terrace of the child-friendly hotel on Corfu, you will find a delicious breakfast buffet in the morning that tastes all family members. Typical Greek fish or meat dishes as well as vegetarian delicacies, including table water, are available on six evenings per week. On the seventh evening, the taverns in the bay are looking forward to your visit. At the end of the dinner the guests always sit at the campfire, sometimes with spontaneous guitar music. Some of the food comes from our own garden. There are chickens and sheep on the premises.

    Corfu-family trip with children’s programme

    As in the north of the island, in the Honigtal on Corfu, we also offer an exciting and creative programme for parents and children in the Villa KaliMeera: Nature is the focus of this House by the sea. Together with the children we hike through the olive groves. What we find-branches, stones or leaves-we take for tinkering in the children’s program. We cook with a solar cooker or go on Pirates treasure hunt. With the older ones it will also be sporty or we  "Chill" on the beach. For the little ones we offer an infant care after arrangement. Season periods for the children’s programme see prices & Booking-> benefits.

    Creative, sporty or informative free offers for parents and children, such as Viking Chess or a campfire evening on the beach, are part of the varied programme. A guided half-day excursion with information about agriculture on Corfu and a small Griechischkurs for adults are already included in the tour price.

    Family holiday with relaxation programme

    On three days a week we offer a small relaxation program with autogenic training or yoga.

We hike through the olive groves, collect natural materials, firewood, look for animals, like tortoises, which we observe. With a solar cooker we learn to use alternative energies and cook delicious things. While the children play with like-minded children, the parents find time to realize their own holiday wishes. Please note that children can only participate in the program if they are ’ diaper free ’.
    • Depending on the composition, needs and group size, we remain flexible with the program for the older kids: sports tournaments, theatre play with the hero Hercules and the protection goddess Athene, acrobatic feats, creative workshops that sharpen the senses for the Beauty of nature. Or we make a cozy campfire at night on the beach with riddles-it won’t be boring for us!

    Climate

    The island of Corfu has a mild Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summer months and mild, humid winters. In the period from October to April, 85% of the annual rainfall drops, which makes it raining only rarely from May to September. In winter, snow also falls in altitudes, as on the 900 m high mountain Pantocrator. Cooling winds ensure a pleasant, balanced climate on Corfu during the warm summer months.

    The classic time for the island of Corfu is from May to October. Often in May the sea water is still too cool for bathing, for this the Green Island delights with its colour and blossom splendour. Until autumn the Mediterranean Sea attracts with pleasant bathing temperatures, in October the water is still 21 degrees warm. Between June and September it hardly rains. Also as a winter destination, Corfu is well suited for holidaymakers seeking relaxation. The daily temperatures are around 15 degrees even in January and February, with a daily average of 4-5 hours of sunshine.
