Awards & Certifications
From its early years of operation, Kallichoron has managed to stand out in a plethora of events and in several different areas, such as the personalized breakfast service "Grandma's Breakfast", green practices, the hotel's social imprint, the pet-friendly philosophy, the innovative breakfast delivery service "Grandma's Basket", and of course, the overall Boutique approach.
These distinctions constitute tangible recognition of the tireless effort to create an authentic and, at the same time, modern hotel that showcases traditional Greek hospitality and gastronomy, offering a high level of service quality. They also serve as evidence of our fundamental purpose, which is none other than the continuous improvement of the tourism product in Astypalea. Innovative services, love, and passion are the driving force behind this journey, creating a unique experience for our guests.
