This was the friendliest and most pleasant place to eat in Alikes by far. The waitresses were extremely attentive and helpful and the food was good, as was the house white! Loved the restaurant cat too!The Stifado was delicious as was the mixed grill Souvlaki. I hope they have a long and successful 2003.
A noisy corner location but the delightful waitress and the delicious food took out attention away from the passing traffic.
One of the best meals we had on our trip and, along with the Ponderosa, a place I would have no heitation in returning to.
Frankly, if you wanted to use my toilet I'd expect you to be a paying customer!
We arrived during the first week in May which was really the first week of the 2003 season. Fortunately this coincided with the start of a heatwave! The family who run Pothos like to help and will do what they can if you need something. The pool and surrounding area was kept clean and our studio, though small, was sufficient for our needs. However, I think they need to invest in some new towels- ours were grey, small and in need of replacing.They will also let you keep your room if you have a later flight- at a cost of 30 euros.
It was 10 minutes stroll to the main Alikes drag and the strool back is a pleasant one when you've over-indulged! However- if you take the road across the salt flats take a torch.
If you have a ground floor studio make sure you feed the brown and black cat who will pay you a visit at least twice a day- she's just had kittens!
I would definitely go back to Pothos. However, the transfers to and from this resort are a nightmare. Arriving at 7.50pm at the aiprort along with 3 other flights, we eventually made it to our room at 11. One luggage carousel for all those bags isn't enough. An hour and a half to travel 16 Kms isn'y on either!
I'm afraid the tour companies treat you like cattle. For this reason we won't be returning to Zante or using Manos as our holiday company again.
Enjoy Pothos, though!
resort rep didn't have a clue. we booked a trip to athens as we thought we would sail through the corinth canal. 6 hours on a coach later we drove over it!
the transfer to our resort was an absolute nightmare. an hour to fight for our bags- an hour waiting on a coach whilst the other passengers from the 4 flights that arrived at the same time fought for their bags.
another hour to travel the 16-yes 16- kilometres to alikes.
i could feel mysefl starting to moo! we were treated so much like cattle. b*****ds.
it could have spoiled our holiday but it didn't.
rep on the coach transfer back to the airport: "as long as i've got the right number on my coach i'm not bothered" it didn't have to be the right people apparently!
we liked zante
we liked alikes
we liked the flights
we hated manos.
