Sirene Apartments

im flying from manchester :D  my flight is 10:45am ,:( dont do mornings lol im only 18 and really nervous.

I have just returned from a two week stay at the Sirene apartments 31^st July – 14th August 2008

Frankly, the party I was with were very disappointed with the basic apartments and the lack of business acumen.

The kitchen consisted of a two ringed cooking facility a fridge some cutlery, plates glasses and cups and that's your lot.  There wasn't a  kettle or a  toaster. Hence we ate out every night. However, The Greek night and  food generally within the facility was good and reasonable.

Air conditioning should you want it is 42 Euros per week

The rooms were cleaned every other day and a clean towel ( of differing sizes) provided.

The apartments are situated on a main road with a 20 min walk to Kalamaki. The road is very busy and if you have a family, I would suggest taking a taxi into the town should you go at night (5 Euros)

The music within the pool bar was at times inappropriate and too loud .Greg this is not good for business.

This and the arrival of one family in particular marked the exodus of the majority of the guests to other establishments (we went to the Rainbow nearby, again a family run business, nice clean pool, good food ,appropriate level of music with adult supervision behind the bar at all times.)

The children of this one particular revisiting family were behind the bar at every given opportunity, Whilst the adults on at least one occasion that I know of, after drinking  all day slated and mocked all the other residents of the apartments loud enough so everyone could hear. Should they read this, this behaviour is NOT big and its is NOT clever you will Not make friends and influence people like this –not that you care.

I can only assume that Social Services are glad of the rest for three weeks every year.

In  Summary:

All told we did have a wonderful time in Kalamaki, ,the weather was beautiful, we made some great friends and we have some brilliant memories.

In regard to the Sirene , I like you Greg, you are a lovely person you and the ladies work very hard, but some words of advice from one business person to another, you potentially have a goldmine with the Sirene, refurb, cut the deadwood and take control of YOUR business. Good Luck for the future.

Hiya Tony ! Great to hear from you , we were hoping you would be still at Greg's , but he said you were there earlier on in the season , we had another fab hoilday met up with friends old and new. We've booked to go 18th June next year so don't know if we'll see you ( hope so ) would be good to have a catch up & few beers !!!

I have just got back from kalimaki and me and my friend stayed at the Sirenne, we was dreading the stay as we had read previous comments and they were bad, but when we arrived we were made really welcome and the rooms are basic but who stays in there room all day on there holl?!! The pool area is excellant and ideal for familys with children. me and my friend carrie met loads of lovely people here, (Terri and Dave from Chick) haha!! and the manager gregg is lovely too. I would ignore all the other comments as the Sirenne is a great place to stay and i would definatly go there again!!! It was great fun, especially the BBQ night and greek dancing. Would definatly stay here again, thanks gregg for giving us the room on our last night!!! xxxx

Board Basis:  Self Catering

Heyup Sue & Brad just browsing through this page and spotted you here. Its Tony (ex sirene barman & karaoke host and general gofer) glad to hear your still going to gregs, we went out in may this year but couldnt stay at gregs as it was full so stayed at cavo d'ora but spent most time at gregs.off to bulgaria next month but already booked gregs for next may. still loads of people returning time after time dont understand what half of these complaints about sirene are about? suppose some people have nothing better to do. i definately agree with the comments from that alex person though. Top Place. ( bit better than yorkshire eh? haha)  maybe see you soon

Hi Rebecca , Just read my reviews on Sirene we are going back for our fifth time next June so it can't be that bad !! Rooms are very basic but you are in Greece , towels and sheets are changed on a regular basis would advise you take a travel kettle. Greg (manager) & his family are brilliant he does a good value barbi  every Sat nite and his food at the snack bar is always good value for money . It's about a 15min walk into Kalamaki , plenty of restaurants & bars to choose from, bit of a dodgy walk back as there's no street lights but taxi's are only 5euros, so maybe see you in June !!

im going to sirene apartments next june with my boyfriend i need to know as much as possible please x some one help
