stayed at savvas studios, early sept 2002. apartments were good, clean, maid service regular until latter part of week. pool was murky and has old socks at the deep end. alex in the bar was a top man and gave away free shots, as long as you could stay awake until 4am. weather was cracking apart from the torrential downpours for the first few days and the s**t your pants thunderstorm on the 2nd day in. take a bucket so that you can milk the poor goats, they really need a good milking. food in laganas itself is overall very good, people in bars friendly, and you get free shots during happy hour. don't go looking for any turtles, as there aren't any unless you want to swim for their island and then get shot on the beach, as an alternative you could just buy a furry backpack version in one of thousands of shops. trip to the beach was nice, watch out for dodgy greek restaurant owners trying to flog you sunlounger hire, oh and buy a nice greek fruit 'salad', aparently they're guaranteed to keep you on the loo for a week.
Savvas studios was ideal... great positioning in Lagana centre with a good pool and bar in the apartments. Hard to get a good nights sleep with the cockerels and dogs who start up at around 4am, just after the bar shuts, especially if the girl in the next bed moans in her sleep. If you stay up late Alex in the bar gives away free 'monkey spunk' shots! Just don't ask whats in them... chefs special sauce. People we met were too quality (Stuart, Claire, Steve, Hannah, Brian, Tracy, etc) just don't think they will let us back on an Excel Airlines plane (service & food was pretty far from Excellent!
Savvas studios were excellent. Laganas town came alive at night. People were all very friendly. Great holiday except I need another one... didn't get much sleep because Big Mike kept me up all night. I'll be booking the same holiday next year as long as the friction burns have gone.
