we are going out to hotel crystal beach on 23/06/2005 for 2 weeks, have a boy of 7, are there any activerties for him and what are the best places to eat and drink

we go out on 23/06/05 for 2 weeks , can you tell me if all placesaccept stirling traverlers cheques or are the places few and far between in kalamaki

IF YOU VISIT ONE BAR IN KALAMAKI  FOR KARAOKE GO TO VENUE. BUT GO ON A NIGHT WHEN SHAMUS IS RUNNING THE SHOW, HE IS A GREAT GUY AND GOOD WITH THE KIDS, AND A GOOD ENTERTAINER. HOW THE MANS NOT 10 STONE WITH ALL THE RUNNING ABOUT HE DOES I'LL NEVER KNOW. THE BAR IS VERY CLEAN AND THE COCKTAILS ARE DE-LICIOUS. WE FOUND ALL THE BAR STAFF TO BE VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL.... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND WE'LL SEE YA ALL NEXT YEAR,

CLAIRE ,MAT & KENAN

AFTER READING THE COMMENTS BELOW I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO VISITING CLAUDES. THE PLACE IS HAS NEW OWNERS NOW (GARY &DAWN). THEY DON'T DO FOOD ANYMORE AND DON'T HAVE A LOT OF ENTERTAINMENT ON SO AT FIRST GLANCE WE WALKED STRAIGHT PAST. HOW SORRY WE WERE. WE FINALLY WENT INTO THE BAR AS A LAST DRINK BEFORE WE WEN'T BACK TO OUR HOTEL {CRYSTAL BEACH} AT THE END OF OUR FIRST WEEK THERE. GARY AND DAWN ARE REALLY FRIENDLY, AND THE DRINKS WILL REALLY GET YOU HAMMERED. THERE IS A REALLY FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE IN THERE AND THE PEOPLE WHO DRINK IN THERE GO BACK NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, AS WE FOUND OURSELVES DOING. WE WILL BE GOING BACK NEXT YEAR BUT HOPEFULLY WILL SEE YOU ALL WHEN YOU COME HOME AT XMAS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND PLEASE DROP INTO THE BAR AND SAY HI TO A COUPLE OF GREAT YORKSHIRE FOLKS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

NOTHING MORE TO SAY AS ALL THE COMMENTS BELOW SUM THIS PLACE UP.

VIEWS- FANTASTIC

PLACE - BEAUTIFUL

DRINKS- DRUNK

STAFF- VERY FRIENDLY

PLEASE VISIT THIS PLACE IN THE EVENING AS THE SUNSET FROM THE TURRETT IS BREATH-TAKING

VISITED STANIS SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME WE WENT BACK IT JUST GOT BETTER. BREAKFAST GREAT, AND EVENING MEAL WAS SUPERBE. ALSO WENT FOR THE GREEK NIGHT AND EVEN GOT UP DANCING. I FOR ONE WILL SAY THIS WAS THE BEST MEAL WE HAD ON THE WHOLE HOLIDAY WHICH IS GOOD GOING AS WE ATE OUT EVERY NIGHT AND DIDN'T HAVE A POOR MEAL WHILE WE WERE THERE. WILL GO BACK NEXT TIME WE VISIT.

YOU CAN'T GO TO ZANTE AND NOT VISIT THIS PLACE AS THE VIEWS ARE JUST STUNNING AND BREATH TAKING { AND THATS JUST LOOKING DOWN}. NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED AS THIS YEAR WE DECIDED TO HIRE A CAR AND LOOK AT THE WRECK FROM THE PLATFORM. A LITTLE HARD TO FIND AS ALL THE SIGNS SEEM TO LEAD TO DEADENDS  WHERE THEY JUST HAPPENS TO BE A CAFE AND A COUPLE OF STALLS, THINK THE GREEKS WERE PLAYING A FEW GAMES OF HIDE THE ROAD SIGN. BUT WAS GLAD OF REFRESHMENT. PLEASE DON'T JUST LOOK AT THE VIEWS FROM THE PLATFORM , GO FURTHER ROUND THE CLIFF BUT BE CAREFULL. AND I PROMISE YOU IT WILL BE WORTH IT. EVEN MY 7 YEAR OLD THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT. OH AND PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR CAMERA AND DON'T LEAVE IT IN THE HOTEL ROOM LIKE WE DID. HOW GUTTED WERE WE.... NEVER MIND,,,,, AS IT WAS WORTH THE DRIVE

   ..................................STUNNING............................

THERE IS ONLY ONE THING THAT WE DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT THE HOTEL AND THAT WAS THE BREAKFAST, VERY BASIC AND FOR A FAMILY WITH A 7 YEAR OLD NOT VERY GOOD, HOWEVER THE ROOMS WERE BASIC BUT CLEAN WITH MAID SERVICE EVERY DAY, THE STAFF WERE WONDERFUL AND DENNIS THE LOCAL LAD THAT RUNS THE BEACH BAR WAS GREAT , EVEN WITH THE KIDS, THE VIEWS ARE STUNNING SO IF YOU COME TO STAY HERE I RECOMMEND THAT YOU BOOK A ROOM WITH A SEA VIEW,. HAD NO PROBS GETTING A LOUNGER EVEN AT LUNCH TIME. AND THE BEACH IS GREAT FOR KIDS, ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T SEE ANY OF THE RUBBISH THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LITTERED ON THE BEACH. ALTOGETHER I WOULD GIVE THE HOTEL A 9 AND A HALF. IF THEY COULD GET THE BREAKFAST RIGHT I WOULD GIVE IT A 12. GREAT PLACE..............OH AND THE DOGS ARE VERY WELL BEHAVED NOT AGGRESIVE AT ALL, WENT ON 23 JUNE AND ONE OF THEM HAS JUST HAD 5 PUPPYS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
