Savvas Hotel - (Accommodation in Laganas)

Elle D  (16 May 2005)         

I returned yesterday from what was probably the best week in the last decade for me and my best pal, Fiona.  Dena (who texted me as I arrived home) & A.J. (I called him my son... he rocks) were so warm & friendly! Watch them with the cocktails though... they both have a habit of plying you with freebies... then getting you to stand on the bar for karaoke (ahem). The apartments were cool and airy (although the bathroom flooded every time you had a shower). The pool was bitterly cold... but as we were having a heatwave... it was great!. The people were beautiful and more than happy to help.  Whilst you're there... you need to visit the "Must" bar. Turn right onto the main strip out of the apartments... and it's almost at the end of the street near the beach on the right hand side.  2 euros for cocktails all night... with a free shot with each alternate round.Follow that up with a good boogie at "Medousa" Nightclub... then head to the beach to go turtle spotting. The food is lovely... with English for the lightweight dietary eaters... but also Italian, Greek, Chinese, Indian & American food to boot!   Scooters for 35 euros a week... bicycles even cheaper. Oh my god... it was truly tremendous! The beach is a 20 minute stroll... and has loads of tavernas along it's 5 mile stretch.  Try the Totem sald at the "Totem" taverna. It's gotta be tasted to be believed! I loved it so much... that I'm going back for the last week in the season (October 23rd to October 30th). Give this place a try.... you won't be disappointed.

Myself and my best pal went through "Going Places" and got it dirt cheap! You really need to do it! The people there really are the greatest!  Good luck! xxx

Hi Kathryn,

The room was spacious with a small kitchen & balcony (apparently all the rooms have those).  Tiled floor and single beds. It was really clean, and the maids cone in every other day. But they only give you 10 minutes notice... so if you fancy a lie-in, it ain't happenin'!  The only thing wrong with the rooms is the bathroom.  The shower is open in the bathroom... and the floor floods every time you use it! But that was the only thing.  There are no indoor communal areas (unless you count the pool bar) but there's so much to do in Laganas... that you won't be wanting to stay indoors anyway.
 
I haven't seen any pics on the internet either... but don't let that worry you.  Savvas apartments are just fine.
 
Have a good holiday!

Hi Izzy, yes you can get safes there. I didn't bother... but others did.  I dunno how much though... sorry!

Have a super time though won't you!  I've tried attaching a couple of pics... but it's not letting me for some reason!

I was there in May 05... and returned for the last week of the season at the end of October too! I adored Dena, AJ, Cristo, Dennis, Tony & the rest of their family & friends... and made many more upon my return to them.  I even met the man of my dreams... and we're getting closer by the day! Funny though.. cos we didn't get together whilst I was there!  I'm going back again next May... and I highly recommend Savvas to anyone.  Not sure I'd be up for mid-season... I'm not as young as I used to be.  But I still managed to dance on top of all the bars... and do the whole fancy dress thing... and drink vast amounts of Vodka & sprite, amaretto & coke, cocktails, the local red wine, and of course ouzo!!!

Do go visit there if you can! You'll have an amazing time. Be prepared to party though... with little to no sleep... it's not for the faint hearted!

You're all going to have the greatest time!  I went twice last year (May & October).  Dena (my "sister"), AJ (my "son"), Denis (my sister's "biggest fan" lol) are all great.  Check out the Must Bar for cheap cocktails... oh, and go to Medousa nightclub!  It's all great.  The best restaurant we found was the Hellenic.  All of those places are on the main strip as you head towards the beach.

You'll love it! We did!
