Elpida Hotel - (Accommodation in Alykanas)

Faith S           

Hi

I have been to Alykanas before but we did not stay at the Elpida appartments. Just so I have an idea of where these appartments are, could anyone tell me how far away from the Greedy Greek they are?
 
Thanks.
 

Elpida Hotel - (Accommodation in Alykanas)

We stayed at the Elpida appartments w/c 5 June 2005 and stayed in the old block, room 301. Although basic,our room was clean and spacious, had a lovely terrace with a view over the pool. The room is right by the main road in Alykanas, I found it a bit noisy at night from the mopeds going past but my fiance did not hear a thing!

The pool area does get a bit busy and one day we could not even get near the pool but when you do get to sit by it, it is really nice. The pool is clean and everyone seemed to enjoy going in it. It is a bit annoying though when some people leave their towels on the sunbed and then disappear for about four hours or more and no one else can use them!
 
The owners are extremely friendly and gave us numerous games of free pool.
 
They have a snack bar which serves breakfast and toasties and it is all reasonably priced. If you want to take any food or drink by the pool, this needs to be purchased from the pool bar, not the shop.
 
All in all, we have had a fantastic holiday and would be happy to stay at the Elpida again next year.

If you are staying at the Elpida appartments, you have to walk past this restaurant to get to the main part of Alykanas.

Every day we walked past we were pestered by the person on the door, so much that on the third night we gave in and ate there.
 
The service was quite good but the food was not the best we have had on our holiday but all was made up as they gave us free wine!
 
The prices are ok, not the dearest of places but saying that I do not really think the food was worth what we paid.
 
We had moussaka at this restaurant and if you wanted to eat this on your holiday, I would recommend the Greedy Greek.

Hi

I really want to book this accomodation for next year (2008) as I stayed here a few years ago and loved it.
 
I think I have been on every website going and cannot find this accomodation anywhere! Can anyone tell me who to book through?
 
Many Thanks
Faith.

I went on the tourist train a few years ago and really enjoyed it. We are going back to Alykanas this year, but cannot remember where you book this from? Also, how do you go about booking the greek night as we did not go on it last time we were there.

 
Thanks

Thanks for your help Hayley. Do you happen to know if there is somewhere in Alykanas to book the trip as I am sure we booked it from there last time. If not, it is no big deal walking up to Alykes to book.

Hi

 
Can you tell me where these apartments are? We are going in September for two weeks.
 
I have been to Alykanas before and know where the Greedy Greek, Letsos Apartments, Elpida Appartments and Tipsy Toad bar are, are the Litsa apartments near to any of these?
 
Also, is there air con in the rooms? Can you exchange money there?
 
Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks

Is Katerina's still open? I just wanted to prepare myself as we are staying down the road from there and I remember the last time, they tried to get us to go in every night.

Tipsy Toad - (Bars in Alykanas)

Faith S  (18 September 2008)        10/10

We had such a great time at the Tipsy Toad, we were in there most nights doing the quizzes and went there some times in the day to watch the films.

Everyone who worked there was so friendly and always made us feel welcome and we will miss them all.
 
If anyone goes in there, say to Terry that The Slaughtered Slugs say hello (also known as the adopted family).
 
Also, u must go to the xmas eve night, it was a real laugh.

We had two lovely meals in this restaurant and the staff were really friendly. Also good prices and Nikos gave us free wine, free ice cream and 10% off our bill, which was really nice.

A really nice restaurant, definately worth a try!

We had two excellent meals here and went there for our last meal and went all out and had a three course meal and it was delicious. The staff were so friendly and I just could not fault the place, there were six of us and all of us agreed this was by far the best restaurant.
