we all know the owners of hotels/apartments/studios should be making us feel welcome,but if they dont,we can try for them!!we stayed at the athina studios,and found the owners to be a wee bit quiet,but once we chatted to them we were made welcome!!(yes,this means yiannis)we got on great with him+his fiance.its nowhere near as bad as all the other spoilt people said it was.we found it clean,no smells either!!our toilet bins were emptied on a daily basis..so if the staff did'nt chat to you,did you chat to them??i guess not then!its good to talk..we enjoyed it all.and yiannis+family bought my wife+I a few drinks,and were very friendly.so if you are stuck up in the slightest,well,no-ones perfect.

in response to colin powell....you dont need drugs when you go abroad m8...its greece you were in,not amsterdam!you obviously have no clues to how other poor countries live.if you cant respect where you go,then its simple.....dont go.ps,colin powell??you extracting the urine now??once a p***k .....

to garfield and all who complained..my wife+I have no serious qualms about our stay at the athina apts.the place was a dump,it was so smelly,the family was so rude...that what you want to hear???sorry,but we had no preferrential treatment,we were treated as normal,as prevoiusly stated,our apts.were basic+small,but cleaners did well,no filth+no smells(apart from the smell coming from the building opposite and to the right as you face the bar)we have no major complaints!!what is everyones probs???we were ok,but we also understand everyone elses gripes(moans)which we did not hear of..again,we also had a few beers at night at the athina bar,before we went to bed.yiannis+co were good with us,maybe it was a fluke,who knows?but we have no complaints...as we all know,a holiday is what YOU make it.lets not all fall out please!! life goes on.

we got on good with the owners,and our apts.were basic+clean,is that a problem with you all??no matter where you go,there is always a problem with someone,but also,there is also good.and we got on well with them!id pay to see you complainers put up with what they do for 16 years,see if you lost the plot now+then!we know that we are the only ones to have anything positive come from our stay,but there is always one!what can we say?we sat+chatted+had a few beers at night after the pubs,and WE cant complain.

right ok,no more nit-picking.it was only a few days out of our lifetime,but we have no problems.so please,dont keep going against us?we liked,you didnt,thats how it goes..
