Porto Iliessa Hotel - (Accommodation in Argassi)

Looking at this website on this hotel and having just got back from staying here I think some people are getting mixed up a bit.
Porto Iliessa is the 5 star apartments the sister hotel called Hotel Iliessa is run by the same guy. This is a hotel and not as luxurious as the Porto Iliessa.

The apartments are fantastic, we had one on the ground floor adjacent to the little pool which was perfect for our needs. The hotel is very nice and clean whilst the staff are very attentive. However, I think that the owner needs to think about some things in the hotel. When the weather is bad, there is absolutley nothing for you to do - no games room etc. (only one pack of cards). Even the upstairs bar does not open and you have a limited selection on the TV in the pool side bar (only one english sport channel controlled from the locked roof top bar).

We had an awkward return flight time and had to leave the apartment at 12:00, and recieved a nice reminder telephone call asking if we wanted to keep the room for €70. To which we declined the offer. It would make more sense to request a more reasonable charge for 1/2 a days room hire which would probably encourage more people to keep it on. Even if you do not keep the room on, there are courtesy showers available - but only until 20:00 and when we tred to use them we were informaed that we had to hire towels to get dry on!

The perfect week was marred by the last day where it seemed that they had your money and then wanted nothing else to do with you but to try and get that little bit more money from you!!

On a good note! As for george in the roof bar, he loves kids certainly kept mine entertained with his card tricks and "magic pennies" as my son called them for the pool table.

Also beware of his cocktail shooters, they can be lethal!

Target Bar Taverna - (Restaurants in Argassi)

only one thing to say about this resturant is go there we ate here nearly every night after getting ripped off on the main strip.
recommend the greek salad and the souvlaki.Nikos was fantastic the bill came to next to nothing and the free drinks he give to everyone very generous.
We were drinking the house red only 3 euros a bottle nikos was giving us one free every night and that was not on top of the free brandys he was handing out to everyone.
The free transport was really great belive me you would not be able to walk it it is in the hills and the views is great.
We went end of season so the greek nights were not on but it was still fantastic.

so nikos if you ever get to read this we were the couple who had the little boy called josh who always wanted to help you he loved the little orange drinks you made him in the little glasses.
Hope to see you all soon.

we ate here only once after it was recommended on this site and it was awful.The price for 1 bottle of house wine 2 starters and two main meals was 38 euros and the food was crap. we went end of season and later found out the house wine we were buying from them for 8 euros was only 2 euros in the shops.
We ate up at target every night after then see my comment on that resturant.
