Prokopis Studios - (Accommodation in Laganas)

I had to come on this site having looked at it before my visit to the Procopis. We arrived in total dread caused by the comments on this page. The only time we had any trouble was upon arrival, when we were made to wait maybe 3 hours for our room to be cleaned. After that we didn't have any problem with the place. The owners are relatively friendly, providing you don't swim in the pool after dark, naked or otherwise. Or chuck the non-swimming, frendly, English-speaking barman into the pool.

The food was spot-on; a good choice of salads, sandwiches, etc. The bar had a decent choice of drinks on sale and a clean toilet.

The rooms were pretty much standard from what i've seen in Greece before, though do beware any groups of three. Make sure you're one of the first two in the room or, like myself, you will find yoursef tossing & turning on a squeaky camp bed for the whole holiday. The maids are remeniscent of something out of prisoner cell block h aswell. Just smile when they grunt, that seems to work.

The pool was fine, if a bit strong on the chlorine. It was ,however, a decent sized pool.

The nightlife in laganas is excellent although its not really walkable from this place unless you're a fan of stupidity. Just ask at the bar though and they'll call you a taxi, which to be fair, don't take long to arrive.

Basically don't be put off too much by what the comments below tell you. Its the people that make the holiday, this place won't ruin it for you. I didn't hear anybody complain much when we were there so hopefully a few more will come on and end this myth that the Procopis is a hell. The place wasn't very quiet during the week of 4th July 2004 to the 11th but thats what made it all the more fun. Some excellent people and a remarkable holiday.

Didn't actually stay in this place but my ladyfriend and I stumbled across it during a late night stroll on the beach. Lost, the owner couldnt have been more friendly in making sure we got our wet, scruffy hides out of the place! Seriously though, we both agreed that the place looked the absolute dogs bollocks. the reception area was impeccable and the pool and the surrounding gardens were top-notch. Its also right on the beach. A beach that makes the one in Laganas cry out with envy. Anyone going here should be happy as hell.
