Just come back from ABV and from next year is Thompsons exclusive!! and double the price. We booked in April this year for May 07 with Manos and found out while were there we wont be able to go now as all the My Travel group which is Airtours Direct Holidays Manos and Panarama have lost their contract with them. We have had to battle with Manos but will be getting our deposit back. Booked next door at Alykanas Beach Studio with Kosmar for next year. I know there have been problems with Kosmar but we want to be right on the beach and we have stayed at the Beach Studios before so we know it's ok and is much the same price we were paying with Manos.

This maybe so, I think it is Manos also for 2007 but please be warned, we spoke to Gloria the manager there and it was her who told us they will be with Thompsons next year. It could be like us they will let you book only to tell you at a later date  you can no longer go there and then you may have problems getting your money back.

Hi Corrine

Coach from airport should only take you about 25mins but will depend on how many stops to drop off. We have stayed at Beach Village before you will not be dissapointed. It's brilliant for kids sea very shallow and safe. We were there in Sept last year and had booked for May this year but the tour operator (My Travel) pulled out and they got Thompsons in. We could have booked with them but our holiday would have been almost double in price so we booked next door at Beach Studios, going with family 27th May 07. If you need anymore info feel free to ask
 
Regards
Cindy

Hi Corrine

Alykes is only about a 20min walk away, less if you walk on the beach, Normally if we are going into Alykes to eat in the evening we go on the beach but come back on the road, Good idea to take a small torch with you. Other villages around, you would need transport, buses not good but taxi is reasonable.First few years we went we hired a car to see as much of the island as we could. Going with family this year so grandkids will keep us busy.

We did the same, booked Beach Village with Manos in April last year to go May this year. We decided to take an unexpected holiday in Sept last year at Beach Village only to find out while we were there that Thompsons had taken over so our holiday in May 07 was cancelled but nobody told us!!! We did manage to get our money back from Manos but as you say to book with Thompsons the price was almost double so booked next door at Beach Studios. We have stayed there before so we know it's ok. Going with family 27th May so not long now.

Hope this helps

Hi Helen I am sure you will love ABV it has microwave, toaster, elec kettle so much better than most appartments in Alykanas. Not sure how many in your party but if you can get one of the appartments on the front section it's lovely opening your door to a lovely sea view on a morning.

As for eating out, there are so many good places you can't really go wrong, however our personal choice was Paradosiako on the road between Alykes and Alykanas, they are great with kids. Alkyonis in Alykanas and Amrosia in Alykes are well worth a visit. Trainaky is a little train trip which was good, free wine, you will come back singing!! Waterpark also good for a day out. We normally have a car for a few days and get all over the island, there are some lovely little beaches hidden away on the road to Vasilikos but roads can be a bit scary!! I am sure you will have a fab time, enjoy

Hi again Helen

Forgot to mention you can save quite a bit if you print of the free wine coupons for some of the restaurants. On home page click on tavernas/restaurants and go through each one to print off coupon. Some it's a bottle and some 1/2lt  house wine but is quite nice
