Macedonia Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Jayne C

Hi there, I am staying in the Macedonia Apartments, its our first time and we have an 11 month old baby, are the studios suitable for the three of us, I didnt realise that they do not have a separate bedroom so I am worried we will be stuck for space, Direct Holidays have told us its too late to upgrade now and that if we speak to the reps when we get there they may let us, we fly out 29 June.

 
Overall is Kalamaki a nice place, there are a group of us going ranging from 11 months to 40+ years in age so I am sure we can make a fun time whatever the case.

Macedonia Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Stayed at the Macedonia from 30 June 2008 for 2 weeks.  Very friendly staff, rooms were basic but clean.  No microwave or toaster which we were led to believe - was not very happy as I have an 11 month old baby and had taken microwavable sterilisation bags, we had to improvise with a bucket and milton tablets.  Also not very happy about the travel cot supplied for two weeks, our baby ended up sleeping with us.

 
Air Conditioning is 100 euro for the fortnight but it is a must.
 
We were approx 10 mins from the runway, you could probably see the passengers on the planes flying over, we did get used to it, however the first flight was 5:15 am so be warned!!
 
Kalamaki is a lovely place, not really for young toddlers though, we went with a big party and the older ones could entertain themselves in the Internet Cafe or computer games but nothing really for the younger ones.
 
Mini Golf was good, however its a bit hidden away, well worth searching out though.
 
Food was excellent, we only had one bad experience and that was at Mermaids - food not cooked (raw), definitely recommend Heaven's Kitchen and Olive Tree.
 
As for bars, Down Under, Venue Bar - if you are not aware Greek Laws say no music outside after 12pm so make sure you get inside the bars in good time to get a seat (usually most are air-conditioned).
 
Go to the Water Village, we went on our last full day, it was excellent, get there early, we didnt have to queue for the rides.
