Any information on the Mavrias holiday village, also where are the best and safest places to try snorkeling. We will be arriving on the 4/july 2002is there anything in particular going on on the island between then and the 18/july 2002

The best holiday we have had abroad,the Mavrias village is part of the hotel princess but i think those staying self catering got the better deal. You had to rent fridges in the hotel which i find unbelieveable, our room was on the second floor overlooking the pool & bar, music is fairly loud in the evening but turned down after midnight and certainly did'nt bother us, only thing i will reccomend is hire a fan its a real must, but not from the hotel they charge about double anywhere else and theres plenty places on the main st, we stayed here 14/7/02-18/7/02 and it was bloody hot,also if you like early morning coffee try sweet revenge near main supermarket the owner is a smashing bloke and works very hard and so deserves some success

Great for families with young kids as they have a nice playground, but the food aint nothing to write home about & toilet seats were broken and shabby, certainly would'nt eat there again

Had a nice family meal here tge steak was good and cooked as ordered which seems to be a rare feat on zante, chicken hoffman was much enjoyed by 2 members of our party,only thing to spoil it was it was the only place in the entire 2 weeks who had trouble with my visa card and they could'nt swipe manually so i had to wait at the bar feeling like a crimanal while my wife went back to the apartment to get money
