Just come back today and only discovered this place at end of hols - you almost don't realise it is there. Fab food - gammon and steak are particularly good and the service is soo friendly. One of our cheapest and BEST meals of the whole holiday !

Cave Bar - (Bars in Kalamaki)

Brilliant place that we found out about from this website - a hidden gem. Definately a must for chilling out. The Honey Girl cocktail was the best cocktail I have EVER had and the prices are excellent too. Enjoy the short but sweet buggy ride up the hill.

Cavo Doro Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Just got back today and loved the whole holiday. Cavo Doro was great -we tend to agree though with other comments about selfish gits putting their towels down at about 6am and not appearing till mid morning (this happens EVERYWHERE)- but they should get removed !. Harrys bar do an excellent pint of Mythos and his tuna salad is superb. Harry is a must for any footie fans - plenty of games on the big screen and football chat. DO NOT GO FOR THE B & B OPTION - as someone else said and we found out the buffet breakfast is dire - bread rolls, processed cheese, terrible tea and orange squash. If you pay you can get a decent full English in Harry's. The staff in the front bar are great and the prices fair but the girls on reception can be a bit dour. An example of this is when we got back to our room one night and the key would'nt work - thinking it was us I went and asked the reception girl if she had a spare only to discover they had changed our locks while we were out without telling us why! (Yes we had paid our bill !).

The family who run the supermarket to the left as you come out are super friendly but beware of the English magazines in Merlis supermarket up the road. My boyfriend got charged over six quid for a £2.50 footie mag and the fella refused to reopen the till and refund him once he had realised the horrendous price.

We were disapointed that there was no courtesy room available to shower on our last day - we checked out at 10am on Sunday and had to hang around till 3am on Monday for our 6.30am flight. 17 hours is a long time in the heat but to be honest our rep was useless and told us ask at reception if we could use a spare room - her job me thinks !.

All said and done we would stay there again and our gripes are only minor compared to the brilliant holiday we had - the location was spot on. By the way all the bar staff work like troupers and don'nt stop serving until you decide you've had enough.
