The safari was the best.  It was the only cold day of our week and windy but Paul and Simon made it a day to remember.  This was the very last trip of the season and there was 4 jeeps out.  Our driver Peter was excellent company and knowledgeable.  Highly recommended.  Lunch was lovely.  I did see one horse and we decided it was a donkey not an elephant!!  Did have a tremor that day we as we were in a churchyard but we never felt it.   Comfort was not a thing you should consider on this trip.  Our kids loved it (5 - 18yrs).

Spent a week covering half term in Kalamaki and was a little disappointed at the lack of charm.  Evenings were spent seeing which bar had shut that day.  Mermaids restaurant and Plus Soda were excellent with Nick turning on the foam machine for the kids.  Greek night is a 2 hr riot.  Zakfari trip a real blast of adrenilin and wortth it.  The best takeaway in town is Tazie's and the owners are fantastic - we were told how to make dishes and welcomed back like friends.   Unfortunately the beach has so many fag buts washed up it is a shame for the turtles when they do hatch.  Kalamaki is the little sister of Lagana (18-30's) and aspires to be her.  

Our hotel Klelia, whilst very clean, was empty so it felt like our very own villa for a while.  The buffet there for half board is a bit too basic in the morning so we headed across to YoYo's which was heaven and so friendly.  In the summer the hotel is at the far end of Kalamaki so would be a quieter base.  The pool in October was ice-cold, but the sea was just right and we had excellent weather most days so the sand did get very hot.

A bit disappointed at the amount of rubbish allowed to build up everywhere - fridges and junk along the roadside.

Also they had an earthquake before we arrived - a good ice-breaker conversation and we experienced 7 more tremors.

Not sure if we would go back, but the people were really lovely - maybe we would try a different town.

we spent the last week of October here and were not overly impressed.  The white rooms seemed clean, small but the linen was old and frayed and the furniture dark and old.  We had to keep asking for hot water to be supplied.  The buffet was not extensive - breakfast was very basic.  Evening food was soup, salad and a choice but very german orientated - not international.  The staff was lovely there though. Only 10 rooms were let out of 40 so it was quiet. 

As it is near the beach and away from main kalamaki strip it is probably a godsend in July/August.  There are no extra facilities at the hotel just a draughts board.  The pool is very slipppery on the tiles so be careful.

Also if you are downstairs you can hear noise from the upstairs rooms.
