Hi Paul, 'HATTERS TOUR' Just wanted to thank you for a fantastic day -despite the fact that you deprived me of my lunch! To anyone who hasn't been and is thinking about it - go! This really is an action-packed experience not to be missed, the off-road jeep ride is really good, the drivers are nice with good local knowledge and you get a little stop off in lots of interesting places. We particularly liked the sulphur caves - although be prepared - they are a tad chilly!! And the view over smugglers cove is breathtaking - so don't forget your cameras and swimwear, also wear sensible shoes for the walk. The wine, honey and olive oil is very tasty, so stock up! Paul is a brilliant guide - full of life and very entertaining, although beware, he may steal your sandwhich! Thanks again, from the girl with the massive sandwich!

Although the appartments were based in a nice part of the Island, overlooking the beach our stay there was less than brilliant - the Arkadianos apartments are terrible! The Greek owner was thoroughly unpleasant and rude and seemed to do all he could to make us feel uncomfortable there, although his English wife was nice. The cleaners were very lazy - we had to request our bathroom to be cleaned twice before they bothered to turn up and even then didn't do a very good job at it and we had to ask for new towels, which we eventually got but when they arrived they were more dirty than the ones we'd been using for days. I know Greece is more laid back than England but I've been to other places in Greece and have never known anything like this before! The kitchen equipment provided also seems to vary a lot from room to room. Their idea of acceptable living arrangements in some of the rooms in the main front building at the back is a complete joke!! The room was disgusting and had a very strong smell of sick when we arrived. As well as this, the sheets on the bed were dirty, the bathroom and kitchen had not been cleaned and the room was right next to communal toilets - pleasant! When we told the owner he just laughed it off and refused to let us have another room, even though there were some free. Also the sound-proofing between rooms is non-existent, so don't expect to get much sleep! The only good thing about these apartments are the iguanas - which are kept behind a mirrored wall in-between the two buildings - they are really sweet and a lot more attractive than the owner! The rep was completely useless and unsympathetic to our complaints, as well as having very little local knowledge -to the extent that she didn't warn us to wear sensible shoes on one of our trips, which resulted in two very badly cut feet! She also didn't seem to think it a good idea to tell anyone about the gastroenteritis that was spreading throughout the apartments while we were there - and from which all 5 of us suffered. Sorry to moan so much but we paid a reasonable amount for this holiday and the brochure lead us to believe that it would be a lot better than it actually was -either this place is hugely over-rated or we just went at a very bad time, either way none of us would like to stay there again.
