My husband and I (I sound like the Queen!) go to a Greek Island every
year. On first sight Kalamaki seemed great. We stayed at
the Cronulla Hotel and although the accommodation is pretty basic (as
is most of Greece) it made up for it by having a brilliant swimming
pool - best in the area - and no sunbed bagging. at least not whilst we
were there. There are absolutely massess of restaurants and bars
in Kalamaki, all along one main road. However towards the end of
the second week we began to tire of them and realised that you don't
really get the feel of real Greece here - it is more like Southend with
sun. Little Greek tavernas where you sit and eat and then drink
with the locals were not in existence and all the restaurants seemed to
go at quite a speed to get through the vast amount of people wanting to
eat, with the exception of the Italian restaurant, Buon Amici, which is
unhurried and does fantastic food, highly recommended. Out of all
the bars we went in, and we went in plenty, Down Under was the most
fun. Although most of the people there were younger than us we
must be young at heart coz we managed to out-dance and out-last and
out-stay a hell of a lot of them. The juggling behind the bar is
great, as is the fire show - well done Kim and Buss. Don't be put
off going to Kalamaki but don't expect to get a true sense of a Greek
Island. And the airport - well, the best thing to say is that it
can only get better - can't it????
Wonderful, wonderful, great, marvellous. Yes you're right - we liked it.
Everyone was so friendly and the staff seemed to be really enjoying
themselves and, when not serving drinks, juggling, fire-eating,
fire-dancing and generally entertaining their customers. They
quickly learnt what you were drinking and free shots were often coming
round. The music was great too. Particular thanks to Kim
and Buss - you were terriffic. My husband particularly enjoyed
arm-wrestling (oh dear) but I am sure you were gentle on him and let
him win, not that he will have any of that.
If we ever come back to Kalamaki we would make a bee-line for your bar. Thanks for great evenings.
Thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant - went to it twice. The
setting is lovely and the tables are not too on top of each
other. The staff are very friendly, as is the cat! You
could spend as long as you wanted over your meal and the food was
lovely. Our friend said that it was one of the best steaks he had
ever tasted - cant get better than that, can you?
Would recommend this to anyone.
