Elpida Apartments

22/8/08 - 05/9/08
Flight from Birmingham (Thomson's)
Hotel booked though otbeach
Room 346 , 3rd floor
http://www.elpidahotel.gr/en/index.php

AIRPORT-------- A good size new Airport with air conditioning. The checking in desk was open 3 1/2 hours  before flight departed.

TRANSFER------- Transfer from the Airport took about 15 minutes in a Taxi and the cost 24 Euro. 

VIEW FROM ROOM--------- Our room was in the new block towards the back of the apartments. Our room over looked the front of the hotel.

ROOM-------------- Large room, with twin beds (and space for another bed). The cooker was more little a camping stove so if you want to cook anything then this is not the place for you. No shower curtain, the bath room is more a wet room. The BEST THING- HOT WATER every hour of every day. Maid service every other day, but all they do is empty the bins. Linen and towels changed twice a week. You do have to provide your own toilet roll.

CHECK OUT-------- Check out- 10am.

AIR CONDITIONING------ 7 Euro per day. A little more expensive than what we have paid in other apartments in the past, but it was a must. We did not think the room would get so cold as you are not able to have it on if you are not in the room. The room did get cold after it being on for about 30 mins, the room was so cold in the night that we needed to use the blankets.

SAFE BOXES----- 30 euro for 2 weeks. The boxes are in the rooms and operate with a key.

RECEPTION---- The reception open 8am - midnight.

ATM---- We found 2 Atm both on the main street and both worked fine.
 
INTERNET------  There are lots of bars that have internet.

The  Elpida Apartments are about a 5 minute walk to the centre and about 15 miutes to the beach.

Just have to be content with Spiros visiting us again this October. Woo Hoo. (Counting the days my wee scone  )

 

As you are first up with your dates for next year Kat,  will try and work something out. Hoping to get over for 3 weeks earier in the year too. Have to make up for losing out this year!!!

 

Love the photo Dawn.

just spent two glorious weeks at the alpida with my very good friends

dennis denise spiros aliki and mimi who looked after me like my own

family,also all the friends old and new had many late nights in the bar

especially one dawn for your friendship during your stay it was lovely to see so many

old friends returning once again to the alpida, so if you have not been there it is well worth giving it a try i am sure you will not be disapointed the family make all feel so welcome,

 

look forward to seeing you all again next year you can book direct with spiros by loging on

the alpida site for a booking form.

 

bye for now ken.

Well, well, what can i say?

 

Another fabulous two weeks, being pampered and well looked after by my very own adopted greek family.

Spiros does a wicked cocktail. As Linda,( middle photo) will testify! 

Had an amazing crowd of guests this year again, with lots and lots of late nights and laughs.

 

Hope everyone is well.
