Marelen Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

RE: Vicky Clarke. DOesn't matter really matter about location of apartment from hotel Marelen as Kalamaki resort is only a maximum of 15mins end to end. 5euro in taxi (set fare for the region).

Holiday was superb and my little lad Harrison loved it.
All the staff were SUPERB, especially Nic the bar man and Anastasia the receptionist.

Word of WARNING. DONT BOOK THE AIRTOURS TRIPS,GOTO THE TOWN AND BOOK DIRECTLY AS THE PRICE DIFFERENCE IS SIGNIFICANT. ALSO the Kethalonia visit by coach is crap, unless you are into jumping on and off a coach, being rushed about with just enough time to take a photo and only getting to VIEW the "most beautiful beach in the med" (Myrtos). MY ADVICE-Hire the car from reception (through circuit) £120eure for 3 days unlimited mileage and insurance (cheaper than avis) and get the ferry there yourself!

HAVE FUN...Si Michelle and little Harrison(5) Room 307/324 10-24th Sept 03

P.S. from the message below. Rate of Safety deposit box was 20euro for two weeks. It is cheaper up the road but obviously not as convenient. We had AC in our rooms (307/324) for no extra charge. Reference FANS..they are cheaper to hire from the supermarket. Only downside was you had to eat out in eve as hotel services no food. Recommended eating places: Buon Amici (italian-we tried snails there...ignore the thought just eat them..beautiful!); Mickolas (on road to zante town (turn left at end of kalamaki and 200m on lefthand side...traditional cooking par excellence) and of course Mermaids.

Tip:Ask for the house wine for a significant reduction in you final bill and don't forget your 10% tip and to say Eukha'ristos (ef-harri-stow) [Thankyou]
