I stayed at Mon Repos in August and in the main thoroughly enjoyed myself. There are five blocks of apartments just far enough out of town to be convenient yet fairly peaceful. However, the block I was in was right on a fairly busy road and it took a couple of days to get used to the traffic noise. Another block is next to the pool bar, a couple of people staying there said it could be very noisy at night. The path through the olive grove although dusty is at least light at night. The rooms were a bit small and basic (but isn't all Greek accommodation!) but very clean. The pool area was excellent and cleaned several times a day. They have a BBQ on a Saturday night which is great value and the food terrific. My only real complaint was the prices at the bar. The price of drinks could vary depending on who served you, and the mark-up on water and soft drinks was ridiculous - a bottle of water was 100%, and a can of iced tea 150% more expensive than the local shop! However, despite my strong feeling of being ripped off whilst at the bar, I would stay here again.

Went on the trip 20 August and it was the best day of the holiday. Paul is very knowledgeable and a very good story teller. He is also a charmer, my 6 year old daughter Jennifer handed over all her sweets to him! Just ensure you wear comfy shoes as there is a fair bit of walking involved. Don't miss this great day out.
