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