Hillside Studios - (Accommodation in Argassi)

I have been to Greece six times now but this one put me off for good! Although I would reccommend the stunning view and the owner who was nice, that is about all - The steep hill climb is very steep, you have no bus to take you up there when you first arrive. Lack of air conditioning was a mistake. The tour reps are dreadful. We found out my wife was pregnant the day after we got there (Monday) and was so sick we decided to come home early. Having hunted for a rep for a whole day (rep contact board just said to contact her on her mobile that went through to a greek answer machine which the message left was not responded to) or to contact the office directly. That was impossible as they had not left an office address or phone number!! Once we got hold of a rep she told us there would be a flight in 3 days on the Thursday which we asked her to look into as my wife was quite poorly at this stage. Despite trying to contact her repeatedly after this she eventually got back to us on the morning of the flight! Bit late by then - They managed to get us back on the Saturday but were very unfriendly about the whole thing as if it was all too much of a bother for them to arrange. Also the airport is a disaster!!! There were groups of young lads and girls up to 20 in number just lying around on the floor in piles and the departure lounge was not air conditioned and was about the size of a small indoor football pitch. JUST AWFUL. On top of that the EURO is a rip off these days. - £1.35 for a can of iced tea or lemonade is just rediculous. I think one the youngster is old enough to travel properly we might go off to the states and enjoy the panhandle - at least everyone there is friendly and you get value for money.
