just got back had a great time, here lovely family run hotel in the country next to a farm so yes cockerels do make a rackett!!! but you get used to it. pool area lovely,nice bar selling a good variety of snacks,small shop with all the bits you will need,we had a one bedroom apartment with a upstairs basic but clean and very big. near shops bars and restaurants not far from beach lovely
Due to XLs collapse, we had to re-organise our travel arrangements. We will now be arriving Thursday 30th July 09 for two weeks. Anyone else we know staying at that time?
Hi Janice, you will love this small, quiet, family run complex. No formal entertainment provided but we have not needed it - plenty of laughs with friends made over the years. Pool table plus ps2 available for kids.No worries about sun beds as there are always plenty. Although close to the main road you soon forget it. We have only ever stayed in the new complex but this was very good in comparison to other Greek accomodation. You have to buy your own toilet roll, and the cooking facilities are basic. Fridge, sink, hotplates, crockery and table/chairs.However, the owners are lovely and will do their upper most to help. Air con is extra.Spiros is the son of Dennis and Denise; Spiros speaks perfect English and is just brilliant, but beware his lethal cocktails which incidentally work out cheaper than buying just a G & T. Bathrooms get very wet and slippery, but hot water is available 24/7. Attached to the hotel is a supermarket also belonging to the family. However, you can't eat or drink purchases by the pool. This will be our 4th time back to this hotel - love the location just outside of town which walks off some calories!
we got a bargain with thomas cook we were going to florida all booked but due to the credit crunch and lack of funds we transfered it to the cheapest elpida come up at 1 week £774 for a 1 bed apt and 3 people 2 adults and my 13 yr old classed as a adult though!!!!!!! very cheap for august
AIRPORT-------- A good size new Airport with air conditioning. The checking in desk was open 3 1/2 hours before flight departed.
TRANSFER------- Transfer from the Airport took about 15 minutes in a Taxi and the cost 24 Euro.
VIEW FROM ROOM--------- Our room was in the new block towards the back of the apartments. Our room over looked the front of the hotel.
ROOM-------------- Large room, with twin beds (and space for another bed). The cooker was more little a camping stove so if you want to cook anything then this is not the place for you. No shower curtain, the bath room is more a wet room. The BEST THING- HOT WATER every hour of every day. Maid service every other day, but all they do is empty the bins. Linen and towels changed twice a week. You do have to provide your own toilet roll.
CHECK OUT-------- Check out- 10am.
AIR CONDITIONING------ 7 Euro per day. A little more expensive than what we have paid in other apartments in the past, but it was a must. We did not think the room would get so cold as you are not able to have it on if you are not in the room. The room did get cold after it being on for about 30 mins, the room was so cold in the night that we needed to use the blankets.
SAFE BOXES----- 30 euro for 2 weeks. The boxes are in the rooms and operate with a key.
RECEPTION---- The reception open 8am - midnight.
ATM---- We found 2 Atm both on the main street and both worked fine.
INTERNET------ There are lots of bars that have internet.
The Elpida Apartments are about a 5 minute walk to the centre and about 15 miutes to the beach.
Girdy, girdy, guys. We too have really missed not being there this year. First time in 10 years.
Just have to be content with Spiros visiting us again this October. Woo Hoo. (Counting the days my wee scone )
