Well going back for my 7th time in august, great place. For those who have not been before, there is something for everyone. Most hotels and apartments are upto 10-15 minutes from beach or nightlife. The main area is "THE STRIP" which runs up from the beach, here you will find shops, bars and clubs. The beach  is good however the sand is hard and most people hire sun loungers. sea is usually calm and clear nice for swimming. If you want any information about Laganas email me at martin@martin801.wanadoo.co.uk and I will try and answer any questions you have.
