Sofia Hotel

excellent in every way you would not be dissappionted here we loved every second a big hi to sofia,jane,nick,rhea,athena,martina,alex,emma,joe and all other staff at this amazing welcoming resort love ya see you in 2008 definately andrew and sarah xx

I stayed at the Sofia Apartments last year and am very suprised at the comments I am reading here. I found the place to be perfect. I had no complaints. Of course we had a small army of ants marching accross our floor but what more can you really expect in such a warm country. The rooms were big and spacious but basic. Why are people complaining about this unless they are going on holidays to sit indoors!  We found the staff to be more than helpful with them all going out of their way for everybody we met there. Nick was a bit strange as others have been saying, but we just made a laugh of it! Concerning the films in the evening, you can prob be guarenteed that the people complaining bought the copies of the films from the guys selling them at night time.

Just back from Sofias and loved every minute of it.  Totally forgot to get Alex and Adam's e-mail addresses though!  So if you guys are reading this, it's Julie...as in Julie and Anna lol.  E-mail me, j_u_l_i_e_914@hotmail.com. Wish we were back again! x x

 BRILLIANT VENUE! ' ELVIS CLONED SHOW' A HUGE ATTRACTION - STAFF (NICK, RHEA AND AKOS BEHIND THE BAR; DEBBIE AT RECEPTION; MISS SOPHIA, ATHENA AND MARTINA IN THE SUPERMARKET; MARIA THE CLEANER; AND THE COOK (never got her name) ARE ALL VERY FRIENDLY, WELCOMING AND HELPFUL!  ROOMS TIDIED AND TOWELS CHANGED DAILY - CONSTANT HOT WATER AND ELECTRIC KETTLE/CAN-OPENER/BOTTLE-OPENER ALL PROVIDED ALONG WITH 2-RING COOKER, SINK, CUTLERY, CROCKERY AND SAUCEPANS.  PIRATE DVDs WERE POOR QUALITY BUT OFFERED PEOPLE SHELTER FROM HOTTEST SUN.  ROOSTERS AND COCKRELS IN THE DISTANCE WERE ANNOYING ON OCCASION BUT ONE SOON GOT USED TO THEM.

 SOPHIA'S APRATMENTS ARE APPROX. 5 MINS WALK FROM A BEAUTIFUL SANDY BEACH (turtle sanctuary); 7 KILOMETERS FROM CAPITAL TOWN OF ZAKYNTHOS (1euro each way by bus) AND 3 KILOMETERS FROM THE AIRPORT, ALTHOUGH THE LATTER IS NO PROBLEM AS IT CLOSES DOWN AROUND 10PM DUE TO TURTLE SANCTUARY.

 TOUR AROUND ISLAND IS A MUST - EITHER BY BOAT OR COACH AS IS A VISIT TO THE BLUE CAVES, A TRIP TO OLYMPIA ON THE MAINLAND OF GREECE OR A VISIT TO THE UNDERGROUND 'MELISINA LAKE' ON KEFELONIA ISLAND.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND SEE YOU NEXT YEAR....

Just back from the Sofia.  We loved it.  The accomdation was quite small but the Hotel itself was fab.  The staff were brilliant, very helpfull and willing to help with anything.  The Sofia was spotless and the rooms were cleaned on a regular basis with clean towels and sheets every other day.  There was a great atmosphere about the place and the location was perfect, just along the main street, near all the bars and restarunts.  I think it a great place to stay for all, families with small children, young people looking for a good holiday and also other people.  All and all we had a great time there and would defo go back

Excellent, excellent, excellent what more can I say. Its like home from home.  Nick & Rhea are so so nice we had the best time, and they really are the nicest people you could meet, Nick, Rhea and all the staff at the Sofia could not do enough for us.  The rooms were in excellent condition, clean and tidy.  We will definitley be back again next year!  With more people, we would recommend Sofia to anyone.  Thanks for a great holiday!!  The mad liverpool fan!!  You should try the flamming coktails, (EXCELLENT)!!!!!! 

Can anyone tell me if the Sofia Hotel is far from the beach?  We are going at the start of June and would like some information on how far away from the centre of Kalamaki we are and most importantly how far from the beach the hotel is.
