Katerina Apartments(Apartments in Vassilikos) |
 | 10/10 |
Hi Will, that wonderful rep was Jenny Cassidy and she was the best rep I ever had anywhere. She went the extra mile all the time. I'm sure you'll still love it there.I hate places like Laganas as well.
Janet has written that everything is still ok in Paradise.
Regards

Do not despair, Kostas and co were very friendly and helpful. Having just returned from the Katerina, we have had a great holiday and this is on our list of possible future returns. Enjoy! | |

Hi Denise Thank you for your prompt response. Loved reading your posts too. I must admit, I was sad to hear Joanna and Yannis (John) have moved on but more concerned with so many negative comments. Admitedly, most of these were made by people that seem very reliant on the rep and typically they're not that good anywhere really. That said there was an excellent rep who I believe lives on the island so standards were always going to be hard to maintain when she moved on. I am puzzled that I booked through girect greece again but from notes on here it looks as though the rep or ownership is now Tompson??
I've also really talked this place up with my partner so hope it still meets my expectations as this will be her first time here.
In summary, I'm a little apprehensive but I am independant and always explore the island/town etc wherever I stay so, assuming I can still rent a relaible car, I will again enjoy the beauty of this area and the rest of the island. I'll also sit back, pick up a book and enjoy the rest - but I will make a point of raising a glass of Matheus to dear John Smith. For he is the reason I avoid the 'laganas' of the world.
Happy posting

Hi Will, I'm sure it's number 8 but if you've booked already you probably know that now. We've stayed in all of the middle row studios and appartment and I know that the middle appartment is number 5.
Anyway, enjoy this beautiful place.

I love this place and so want to go back but having problem identifying the apartments. I need to know the number of the one on the top floor in the middle (the one that steps out) with pool view. Stayed in it before and have a nostalgic reason for needing to go back to that same apartment. Any help? Thanks

H Janet,there are no safety deposit boxes at the Katerina but quite honestly it is crime free there. You can change travellers cheques and money at the Marina bar,which is next to the Katerina.
Also just 5 minutes away on the main road are several supermarkets which exchange as well.
We usually used the deli next to the coffee house.
Have a great time.

Please help as Direct Greece seem unable to answer any query. Are safety deposit boxes available at the Katerina? How close are the money exchange facilities? | |

Forgot to add a rating last time so thought I'd better go back in and put top marks in for them. | |

John Smith, It is a beautiful area and the people are wonderful. You are obviously not the type of person who should be at this resort. It is a quiet village and this is explained in all the brochures I have read. Maybe you should have gone to Laganas.
The strip of metal appeared on the apartments in about the year 2000.It was not there in 1999 and was the result of a small quake.The building is structually sound and it's just to cover the crack so as people don't worry about it.
The quakes happen all the time.We have always had tremors there.I'm sure we've had one every year we've been. We've had them on other islands too but then that's what happens in Greece.
It's a shame that Thomas Cook have taken over the area as we've heard bad reports about them from everyone who's been to Greece this year with them.
I'm sure all you long timers like us can remember the wonderful Jenny Cassidy, the best Rep. I've ever had anywhere.She was so caring and always remembered her regulars. She lives on the island still but has not been repping for a few years now. I miss her. We'll have to start a 'Bring back Jenny' campaign. Ha Ha
For all of you going for the 1st time do not take any notice of John Smith. If you like quiet places with beautiful people, you'll love it. The tavernas are fantastic and I'm envious of you all, as we're trying Lefkada this year. I'm sure I'll enjoy it but my heart is in Vasilikos.
Happy holidays,

I'll second the comments by Sheila. Vassilikos is an ideal resort for those of us who love Greece. Those who want the nightlife can go to Lagannas, or better still somewhere other than Greece. We did have an eartquake when we were there: about 35 miles away on the mainland and 6.4 on the Richter scale. The apartments rattled a bit but there were absolutely no problems as all the post 1953 buildings are designed to cope. As far as ratings are concerned: Vassilikos: 10 Thomas Cook: 0 (a big zero) Rep: Less than zero. Kostas at the Marina pool bar: 10 Flights: Night flight from Glasgow (originally booked with Direct Greece as day flight) Changed without any choice and didn't find out about day flight possibility until we saw it on the Departures notice board. Many of our fellow passengers made us ashamed - load, foul-mouthed, drunk and obscene and no attempt by the cabin crew to control them. Jim | |
