I have just booked today for Amaryllis based on your very positive comments! Can anyone tell me where I can get reasonably priced insurance instead of the extortinate prices that the holiday companies want to charge?

Thank you Taym for the last answer about the insurance.
Can anyone tell me what facilities there are in the apartments for the Amaryllis? Is there a fridge and cooking ring etc?
How far is the local shop?

We are also going Whit week to the Amaryllis and have had a letter from First Choice about the building work.
Has anyone been yet and found out how things are really going???
I think I will be really disappointed if I have to look at builders bums all day long!!!!!

Gary, if you do get a chamne to take a photograph whilst you are out there, it would be intersting to see whats happening. Thanks for your previous answer!!
Hope you enjoy your holiday

Having returned from Zante on Sunday I can honestly say that it was a fabulous holiday. The apartment is clean and spacious - the maids even fold your pyjamas for you - leave a good tip!
The hotel was friendly, not over imposing and if you are looking for an Ibiza type (young and loud) holiday, don't bother going there - go to Laganos.
We hired a jeep from Merlis which was more like a dodgem, but it was great fun and we got to see all the island in 3 days virtually. The airport was tiny - more like a tennis court than a place for 3000 Brits trying to get home on a busy Sunday morning! You have to queue outside but they are building a new terminal which should be completed in about .... well this is Greece! Apparrently, all the monies for the Olympics are being sent there - hence no bigger airport!
As for the building and the aircraft - no problems whatsoever - I certainly wouldn't have cancelled it!
So enjoy the island and the hotel. This website has been excellent for me - very informative and helpful. Thank you everyone!

I totally agree with you - you must have had the same car! We hired a green Samurai and it was like driving a tank or a dodgem as we liked to say! It became quite a novelty in the end not having a fifth gear and not sure which gear you were in as they all felt like neutral. My biceps were well toned by the end of the three days!
It was fun but I would insist on a different car if you have been unfortunate enough to have got one of these!
