Prokopis Studios - (Accommodation in Laganas)

Ant M           

this was without doubt the worst place i have ever stayed in my life. where to start?

me and 2 mates stayed in procopis 2 (looks like it was half built and never finished).

the rooms smelt of rotting animal carcass.

the bathroom was a mockery - the shower cable was broken and i cut my leg on the sharp metal, the bin for used toilet paper was full when we got there and none of the lights worked so we had to shower in the dark before going out at night.

the kitchen - what kitchen? the cupboards smelt of something very very wrong, the fridge smelt, and the cooking rings were best to be left well alone.

the bedrooms- dirty sheets, only 1 light working in each instead of 3, and what appeard to be dried blood stains on the floor.

the view- a bloody chicken farm which woke us up every morning, some rubble, an old wheel barrow, weeds and gravel. nd to look at the place from outside you could swear you were in a war torn country.

the pool- only for the brave. a dark murky colour. we didnt bother with it.

the staff- now this was the worst bit.

the maids were just rude and to be honest didnt really even do anything except give us dirty looks and shout at us.

stelios- i dunno where to start on this poor excuse for a human being (u know the one i mean, speaks no english (weird that considering hes running a hotel), looks like he hasnt had a wash in a month and just shouts random words at you. hes a joke. insisted on the day of our departure that we had broken the lights that didnt work in our bathroom and bedrooms, then demanded that we paid 25 euros for them to be replaced. we obviously wernt happy with this and told him and the other scumbag who can speak english that they were in fact broke as f**k when we got there. when we refused to pay the 25 euros the mood became very intimidating and they said that they would phone the police. when faced with this proposition we were left with no choice but to pay because the way we saw it the greek police were much more likely to believe stelios and his c**t of a mate than they were 3 20 year old lads from england in greece for a week long p**s up.

we phoned a number we found on the board but the woman said that we should have coplained on the first day and that we should pay it because 25 euros between us wasnt very much. but im sorry thats not the point. we didnt break the bloody lights! they were broken when we got there! and the a**ehole had the nrve to charge us 4 euro for the use of the phone! in he end we paid the 25 euros because the prospect ofdealing with the grrek police on our last day wasnt one we relished.

someone else who posted on here said he tried to charge them 50 euros for a stuck door so i think he must try it on with everyone. if i had known this at the time there is no way i would have paid out of principle because the man is no more than a theif!

its just a shame i didnt read this page before i went.

avoid this place like the plague!

and another thing we got kicked out at 9 oclcock on the sunday morning even though our flight wasnt till 7 oclock monday morning. rediculous.

the place is a discrace and id love to meet that stelios (dunno his real name but u know the scumbag i mean) again cos id be left with no choice but to punch the robbing b*****ds face in.

im going to write to libra until something is done about that place and i urge anyone else who has had the missfortune of staying in the s**thole to do the same to prevent other people suffering the same misery that we went through.

Mad Murphys - (Bars in Laganas)

Ant M  (25 March 2004)         

good bar if u want to get away from the teenie bopper crowd and have a relativley quiet night out. one word to describe the guinnes tho: undrinkable. and thats unforgivable for an irish pub (im a bit dubious about the full extent of the irishness). the rest of the drinks were ok tho and its one of the few places u can get proper lager on draught.

good laugh tho and the music is a different pace from the house/ garage type of stuff everywhere else plays.

fewer burberry wearing lager louts than the rest of the island as well.
