we are due to go to aliknas beach village apartments on 11th june 2003 as airtours recently cancelled there contract with the konstantine hotel were we were supposed to stay.As we have never been to alikanas we are just wondering if anyone can tell us about it and whether there are things to do for our 4yr old son. Ant thing would be greatly appreciated thankyou

gillian, airtours should offer you something the same or better than the hotel u were supposed to stay in. i found this out earlier on this week as the same happened here and we were offered a hotel in kalamaki at the other end of the island!! we stood our ground and got transfered from a AAA c rated to a AAAA A rated hotel with £30.00 per adult refund and somehow we got £200.00 back as the AAAA was cheaper!! doesnt make sense i know but it an extra £260.00 spending money. if your still unsure go to CAB they can tell you more. Good luck

We just returned home from our holiday in Alykanas Beach Village, and we have nothing bad to say about it at all!!The room great with an amazing view,the maids came in everyday and replaced our towels and changed our bedding.
We didnt get a chance to have a parasol by the pool though as people we reserving them by leaving there towels there,even though we were told not too, and the ones on the beach were 7.00euros for the day.
We hired a jeep for the week which was 200 euros, and visited other beaches, but the driving out there....well what can i say!!! there were people on mopeds..maybe three or four!! with a carpet rolled sideways and driving on whatever side of the road they felt like!!
In the evening we went by horse and cart to the next town of alykes and had something to eat and then we went shopping afterwards as the shops were still open.
A couple of nights we ate and had a drink in the room as the Amstel was only 88cents from the supermarket and is 2.50euros from the bar in the hotel!
The weather was absolutely gorgeous,the hottest day was 51oC thats 122oF!!!! REALLY HOT!!!!
The hotel catered for the whole family and our 5yr old son loved it.. infact he cried when we told him we were coming home!
The greek people were so friendly and i ts quite hard to believe how relaxed the whole island is!
One day we got a bit home sick and we found a little english cafe called the pitstop (just opposite the greedy greek) and we had a lovely english dinner cooked with english food!!!
We are definately going back and cant wait to go there again, i would reccommend this holiday to anyone!!
