THE HOUSES OF KALYVITIS ARE 100% SELF-SUFFICIENT OF ELECTRICITY
LIVING WITH NATURE
Kalyvitis is located in the southeastern part of Crete. It is an idyllic place in the middle of olive fields surrounded by mountains with fragrant pine trees. Here, you are in 'green nature' but at the same time close to the sea with its secluded coves.
We (Heidi and Manu) live here largely self-sufficiently. A lifestyle that has brought us back to basics and connection with nature. Because we would like to share this with those who want to escape from the fast modern society, we have created a place where you can find complete peace and experience your holiday in your own way with nature.
Kalyvitis is
A stay in the tranquility of Nature
Only 5 minutes drive from the sea
Olive oil!.. and other organic products
As self-sufficient as possible
TWO STONE COTTAGES
AND THE STONE HOUSE
At Kalyvitis, we rent out two stone cottages and the stone house, all with a beautiful view over the green valley. All three are built of local natural stone and they are, with the help of solar panels and batteries, 100% self-sufficient in electricity. The total energy that Kalyvitis generates with this, compensates the CO2 emissions of the flights of our guests. Possible flight shame is therefore completely unnecessary :-)
As Self-sufficient as possible
The Kalyvitis concept consists of more than just renting the cottages and the house. Our growing need to be largely self-sufficient and independent has led to us focusing more and more on growing and producing our own food. In addition to our olive oil, which we sell also abroad, we make a number of products on a very small scale for the immediate area. And of course, we also like to let our guests at Kalyvitis taste!
And of course.. our Olive Oil
Our extra virgin olive oil comes from our own olive groves. We maintain and harvest ourselves the total of 500 olive trees. The entire process (from olive on the tree to oil in the can) is also entirely in our own hands. So we can guarantee that our olive oil is pure and is never mixed with other oils. Every year, immediately after harvesting, we sell the entire production and deliver the olive oil directly to our customers' homes.
