Have just spent a week staying at Sofias, when we arrived I was quite worried as the place seemed a bit lively, but the rooms are excellent and very quiet due to the careful design of the site. Cleaned SIX days ot of seven (I bet not many people have seen that in Greece).

All the staff are very friendly and it truly is a Family business with Nick (strange Australian / Greek / Irish / North England mixed accent) running the main Bar and accomodation and his two sisters and Mother running the Supermarket. Nick is very particular about the place and everything is meticulously cleaned and kept tidy. I do agree that its a bit strange about not allowing you to buy from the Supermarket and eat/drink by the Pool, but it does keep the place neat and clean.
 
Ten satelite TV's makes watching the football and interesting experience, we had England, Scotland, Italy, Greece etc all showing at once in various parts of the Bar.
 
Food is good if you want English cooking or use MILO's just over the road for Greek food which is excellent.
 
Bar also has the ugliest but sweetest Dog you have ever seen so say Hi to Lola

Going to Sofia's apartments next week. Bit apprehensive as the comments are very mixed about it. I think you just make what you want out of your holiday anyway. I know not to expect a 5* hotel, but once the place is clean I don't mind. Bit smart about not being able to eat/drink stuff from their own supermarket around the pool. You can understand them trying to make money, but no need to be mean. Any other tips/hints/dos and donts?? Good cheap place to hire a car? Thanks.

Bryony the waitress was great, really friendly and helpful. Rhea was lovely too....always smiling, even when she had to put up with my boyfriends stupid drunken comments!
 
Great cocktails....is a bit pricy, but still good!

We went to Sofias bar every Monday night and Thursday night just to watch Elvis - he was amazing!! He was the reason we went there and enjoyed ourselves so much - on the last night he even gave me his silk scarf because the manager had asked him to get me on stage! Ha!

Always very friendly, the young blonde haired girl who works there too was always helpful. My only gripe was the cost of the drinks. Normally a round of drinks for me and my partner was no more than 4 euros in other bars. At Sofias it was always at least 7.50 euros! They charge 2.5euros for a 0.5 litre bottle of water. The supermarket across the road charges 1.20 euros for 6 x 2litre bottles!! It was cheaper to drink alcohol there!
 
Still loved it though - they had a few other live acts on also which were quite good - BUT NOT AS GOOD AS ELVIS

Lisa            

I went here everynight - only to see the hunky Nick!!! Phrwwwwwwwwwww!!!  Anyone got a pic of him?

Food was excellent. Rhea was fab.  Constant smile even though she seemed to be the one to open up all day.  There is an Elvis act twice each week.  A couple of our guys thought the spirits were below strength.  Manager seemed obsessed with making sure the tables and chairs were straight and preferred to wipe down tables and hose the pool area himself rather than talk to the customers.  Made sorry mistake of ordering 2 of our young teenage family members to leave a table (so he could place a small family there instead).  Result was our nine strong group had to go elsewhere.

Does anyone know if Aussie Elvis still does his show. Think last year was supposed to be his last but I'm sure I read somewhere that someone saw him this season.

Niall R           

EXCELLENT PLACE TO STAY,CANT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE STAFF.EXTREMLEY FRIENDLY AND THE GIRL BEHIND THE BAR ALWAYS HAD A SMILE NO MATTER HOW BUSY SHE WAS.

Anne O

This is simply the best looking bar in Kalamaki. Check this place out!!! Great cocktails, great food and very reasonable. Hope to see you again folks. Love to Nick, Rhea, and the boys.

Jo G           

Has good internet access, summat like 3-5 euros for 30 mins!! V nice bar staff and had funky gold fish bowls on the bar. Even has Elvis sat at the bar - doesnt say alot though!! Was nice to chill and relax. Would definatly go in there again!

Jo R           

 Sofia's has to be the most well set up and  proffesionally run bar in the area. The memorabillia in this bar is simply nothing you have seen before. We visited lots of bars in the area but did not find things as pleasent elsewhere. I suppose a manager can always be the black sheep, especially if he does hes work well enough. We stayed at Sofia's in September 2004 and simply had a great time. Hope that you guys which have nothing better to do than sit and post unfair comments soon find better things to waste your time. Hope to see you again. Hopefully see u in June.
