Stayed around the corner at Rainbow but'lived' at Daisy's mostof the time. Always something happening in the evening: Quiz, Karaoke, Bingo, etc. Greek Night on Mondays is a must-do. Made lots of friends there. A good, family atmosphere, clean pool and Mythos at 2Euros a pint.

I've been twice to Kalamaki with Manos and can find no fault with them. Paula (Sept 2002) was very helpful and did her best to sort out minor problems. She also was a mine of knowledge about the island. For someone who gets around on a bicycle, has to meet planes at any time of day or night and only has one day off a week, I reckon she was a hero.

Daisy's at Kalamaki do a top Greek Night, with a good meal included. There's no sitting idly by - you get roped into the action and end up doing all sorts of stunts with the dancers. Got to do it! The Greek beaurocrats have stopped many places from entertaining (Sept 2002) unless they buy new licences. Should be all sorted out quickly.

Next to visiting Olympia, was the best excursion for me. Luis made the day, driving an orange Toyota jeep that could climb walls. Went on every dirt track on the island and visited loads of interesting places: monastery, village selling crafts and wines, top of shipwreck bay, cliff top restaurant, small cove, highest hill with the best view you could find, etc.

Loads of good eateries and bars to visit, friendly locals, good swimming pools, excellent beach. Quieter than the clubbier Lagana a couple of miles away. Some good walks in the hills for a cloudy day. Not a lot going on, more a resort for sun-worshipping and the odd excursion. Good for families. Hey, I've been two years to Kalamaki and will return there, maybe next year.
