Ecali Club

Family country club, founded 1971 · Lofou 15, Ekali

Fifteen acres of Latsis-owned country club that has been the Ekali sitting room since 1971 — tennis, two pools, a restaurant and a children’s programme. A different tribe from Tatoi.

A planted club terrace, pergola and mature greenery over seating.

Ecali or Tatoi

They are asked about as though they were substitutes and they are not. Tatoi at Varibobi is the Mytilineos club, seriously competitive at tennis, with membership closed since 2017. Ecali is the older, softer, family one.

The choice is about which social life the household is actually joining, and for most arrivals on this coast the honest answer is neither — both are a long drive north from a life lived on the sea.
