Me and my other half will be going to these apartments in the first 2 weeks of May 2003 so I will let everyone know exactly what it's like. I can't really complain because we payed £161 each with JMC and TV Travelshop! Don't know how I'm going to get use to the toilet paper bin!!!
Just recovering from the 8 hour delay at Zante Airport to get back home! Yep , the airport has to be seen to be believed - 1 baggage carrousel for 700 passengers is an experience. Anyway, had very hot weather for May and got very burnt. Stayed in the front building and had a sea-view apartment - the view was beautiful.The downside of the front apartments is that the on-site disco/bar 'Wild Roses'is situated here and can be quite noisy until 2am. Nic 'the Greek' (his words!) the barman in the poolside bar is a good laugh but don't make fun of his favourite football team! Debbie - the owner/manager - is absolutely lovely , friendly and British so knows exactly what 'us lot' are like. The iguanas , parrot and snake are funny as well - you'll see them around the complex. Dont get me wrong , this place is'nt the Hilton - it's basic but clean.The on-site shop will have everything you need but don't expect to cook a Sunday roast on the 2 rings in your 'kitchen'. Aghios Sostis is nice and quiet but if you want the nightlife then Laganas is only 30 minutes walk away. Personnally I thought Laganas was horrible - the 'beach' is compacted mud as it is used as a road!The beach in front of the hotel is narrow but at least its proper sand. Take Sterling travellers cheques as the hotel will charge 2% for Euro cheques. If your taking your kids you'll be in good company 'cos there was loads of the little buggers!Pack your Puriton tablets and nasal spray fellow hayfever sufferers as its quite green out there. Don't go on the Athens trip.Spend 20 Euros on a taxi when you arrive at the airport as your only 15-20mins away as the coach will take you around the island (about 1 and a half hours) and you will be dropped off last. Reccomend the stuffed squid at the Satarkyi restaurant about 20 yards up the road and the Grasshopper coctail at the OK Corral bar. Well , happy holidaying everyone!
