Traditional ZakynthianAtmosphere
Authentic living and caring hospitality
Paliokaliva means “the old hunters’ spot”
We welcome you to spend a unique holiday with us at Paliokaliva Village on Zakynthos. Our privately owned boutique hotel was created to share an authentic Zakynthian way of life with our guests.
Eighteen traditional stone-built villas, apartments and studios overlook the fresh greenery of our olive grove garden, a sociable gathering place for families and couples.
“Inspired by the earliest Greek writing”
Our name comes from the peaceful hillside where the hotel stands. Our logo is inspired by the ancient Mycenaean symbol for “roof”, found on the Linear B tablets.
