Just got back from Asteri after our umpteenth visit there.
Loved it yet again. Mina and George were brilliant, as they always are.
They cannot do enough to make sure we have a good stay.
The lads and lasses at Costa's pool bar were as good as ever, and made our holiday special.
It's just a 10 minute stroll to Stani's (Kalamaki) beach. We hired a pedalo from Dennis to go turtle spotting and we saw two turtles. We never fail to find turtles!
Thanks to all concerned, and all at Sofia's supermarket.
One down side .....
The British prat who works in Laganas and thinks it's 'cool' to ride his Intruder motorbike up and down the street for 'fun' at 3 and 4am wants his Intruder ramming right up his ar*e!
I have just returned from one week staying at these apartments, and I would like to say I had the most fabulous time Ever!! Fantastic location, lovely and clean, people absolutely amazing so friendly!! I cant rave over it enough, very safe place to go as a young girl in my early thirties, I am definitley going back to the Asteri apartments very soon. (And I usually dont like to go to the same place twice) I have NOT one complaint!!! Very central to everything too.
Thank you George for a fabulous week and the guys at the Costas.
Beautiful stunning Island, Loved it loved it loved it.
myself and my partner and our two boys aged 5 and 2 stayed at the asteri apartments for two weeks in july 2006.after a very long delay due to the aeroplane engine failing and being re-directed to another uk airport for an 8 hour wait we arrived very tired at 8am in the morning. george the owner was waiting for us and was genuinely concerned as to where we had been!he helped us up to our room and showed us how to use the air con and made sure we was settled and knew were everything was.we found him very warm and friendly throughout our stay.his wife often made biscuits for our sonswe would use the pool at costas every day which was perfect for our boys as the smaller pool was very shallow.dennis andhis family were very eager to pease and were v entertaining our boys loved him and the animals they keep.the room at asteri was ideal and we had a lovely view from our side balcony.all in all we had a fantastic time and would recommend these apartments to any bodythey are ideally located far away from a main raod down a quiet side street within close walking distance to both the beach and all the bars and restaurants kalamaki has to offer.will def return 1 day
George is a smashing guy, always willing to chat and help when needed. Appartments are basic but clean. But then what time you spend in the appartment is minimal. The Costas appartments next door have a very nice pool and bar, and the beach is only 10 minute stroll away.
Eleanor, Judy, Phil, Paul, Raymy, Poppy and Katie would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Costas and asteri as they are all so kind especially to Poppy and Katie aged 4 and 10 Poppy is returning to marry DENNIS See you next year loadsa love Eleanor xxxxx
hello again! 3rd time staying at costas and Asteri and we cant wait to come back agian! Each time we come we have an amazing time. We love all the staff at Costas and George and Dina They make us feel welcome everytime!
Cant wait to see you's all again possibly this year and definately next
love you's all Stevie Andy Ashleigh Lesley and Micheal xxxx
What can i say George waiting on arrival, He remembered me from two years ago. Even had the same room. Rooms basic but clean with security boxes. George and his staff do a great job with looking after rooms and always make you welcome. You have use of Costa's pool and bar across the road and are handy for all local amenities. It's a lot quieter at night than it used to be, what with the noise from Down Under and the Cockerels, there isn't as many as they used to be.
These apartments were lovely and clean, in an ideal location, not too near all the noise from the main road. We went with my family...mum, dad, sister, brother-in-law and 2 nieces and nephew, who all thoroughly enjoyed their stay at the Asteri.
We had lovely weather, maybe abit too hot some days, thankgod for the air conditioning!
We made use of the Costas pool through the day and went there on an evening for the good entertainment, especially George, who kept us all entertained for the full fortnight
George who owns the Asteri apartments is such a gentleman, always there to help, invited us into his home for a drink, we would definatley go here again....was sad to leave.
We came back from asteri on August 20th after spending two brilliant weeks there.My mother came with us and she relies on a wheelchair to get around.There was no real problems getting her around in the chair.George who runs the apartments was wonderful.So helpful and nothing was ever to much trouble.The family who own and run Costas across the round are just the same.There is a lovely well cared for swimming pool,good well prepared food and very helpful and friendly staff.I would go back tomorrow if I could.We had one of the best holidays we have ever had,and a great deal of it was down to the friendly,helpful,happy and genuinely nice people there.Top marks to Asteri,Costas and Zante.WE WILL BE BACK.
We just had a great time here. Its just a nice distance from the main road. Easy access to all shops, tavernas beach and hills. Lovely pool and nice atmosphere around the place, though watch out for the towels on the sunbeds at 7am with no-one there!! Would definitely go back. Only drawbacks - 1]ridiculous time we had to be out of our room by [9am] even though the coach pickup wasnt till 5 and the flight wasnt till 9.30pm.; 2]the elvis impersonator across the road who was on every three bloody nights from 10 till midnight.; 3]the fairly pricey air con; 4] the cockerels and dogs which started around 6am; 5] but the worst animals were the deplorable Scousers across the way giving Brits a bad name who woke everybody up at 4 in the morning with their screaming and swearing. They should've stayed at Laganas!You know who you are! But it didnt spoil a great time. Lovely time and everyone so friendly. Cheers, George, and regards to Patra!
