Cavo Doro Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Sarah B           

Having arrived exhausted from a night flight it was dreadful when part of our party found their room to be filthy from the previous guests, we took photos of evidence but my friends had a long wait whilst the room was then cleaned after complaining. Everything about the Cavo Doro is very basic, the rooms, the facilities, the pool conditions, the food. If you don't mind being less than two inches from the person next to you when sunbathing then you will be fine. If you don't mind not having breakfast then you will also be OK because you wouldn't want to eat what's offered. If you don't mind being heard in your room just blowing your nose or hearing other quests having sex, or rows, or what-ever, rather than the appauling entertainment offered, then again you won't mind. However, Kalamaki is lovely, Zepo's is a great place to eat for 'real' Greek food and 'Mustang' for a relaxing coffee and bite to eat. Kalamaki I would visit again, but the Cavo Doro I would not stay at - even if it was for free! 

Mustang Saloon - (Bars in Kalamaki)

We had a thoroughly crass stay at the Cavo Dora but still managed to have a good holiday. In part this is because Kalamaki is a lovely and relaxing, chilled place. The Mustang was a big part of what we enjoyed on our holiday. The lads there, Dave and Dan - Hi lads! Are real nice guys, nothing is too much trouble and it's the only place I found that could serve a decent coffee. We were a mixed group of adults and children and we were all happy there for ages, could really relax, have a natter and just enjoy. Mustang is not a pretentious place but does serve good food with a good attitude from the staff. It is also good value for money and offers plenty of choice. Keep it going folks and if I visit Kalamaki again I will be sure to call in - for a free coffee now please!

Zepos Taverna - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

We enjoyed Zepos Taverna so much that we actually went there for three evenings of our seven night holiday. We were a party of eight which included children and so we all ordered different items from the menu, all of which were excellent. The staff are really good and to be trusted when asking advice on selection of food. They are really helpful and offer to a good sense of humour which adds to the relaxed atmosphere. There was plenty of choice on the menu and the prices were very fair and competative so we felt we had real value for money. As a group we thoroughly enjoyed the food there and as for location and views - that is a gift of the Gods. As for myself, I felt that I had experienced real Greek food and real Greek people - thank you to all that work there.

Stani - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

We were a party of eight that was really looking forward to a traditional  'Greek' night at the Stani restaurant. What a disappointment that was! When we arrived, the table next to us had left at least half of their food, which looked awful anyway, we started to have a bad feeling. However the thought of Greek dancers for entertainment kept us there, well that was a comlplete shambles, I swear blind we were keeping them up! The dancers were so busy nattering to each other they had forgot they had an audience; their yawning confirmed it. An hour or so later the food arrived, overpriced - oh! and the wrong food! Then we had the right order, which was mostly muck! Having cooked professionally I cannot in all truth describe it as anything else. Sometime later the dancers stopped their chattering and remembered why they were there and involved the audience- hay presto, things got better. It was a case of making the best of a bad mistake and laugh or else you would cry. If you get the opportunity to go there for a Greek evening - then don't!
