Im going to the krinas aparthotel in may, id really like to know how bad the hill is, like does it take long, also could anyone tell me how big the dog is as Im affraid of dogs :o( also the reading says the beach is gravelly is this true of the whole place. Any help would be appreciated :o)

as far as I am concerned there is no need to worry about what you see in the papers re: Laganas. It is a good ten  mins way by car and Kalamaki is excellent, we are going to Amaryllis tomorrow for the third year running and we wouldnt keep taking the kids there if it wasn't good.  

Just back from our third brilliant holiday here.  Best apartments I've stayed at in all of Greece.  Very clean. can't fault it.

Just back from our third holiday in Kalamaki and wish we'd found this restaurant before.  Fantastic place.

There are kettles in the apartments.  It is about a 10-20 minute stroll to town depending how fast you walk, not very in the heat!  We are looking forward to our 4th visit in a couple of weeks.  The apartments are very clean, and usually you can request a low level one which would suit all ages better.  Hope you enjoy. 

Sorry forgot to say, never seen 18-30 in Kalamaki they're usually in Laganas!!!
