Plus Soda - (Bars in Kalamaki)

Steven M  (20 July 2005)         

Last year we spent every night at Plus Soda as it was just the best bar in the resort by far- the freindliest staff, the best entertaiment and the best music.  But unfortunatly all good things come to an end!!  I've just returned from 2 weeks in Kalamki and spent only 2 nights in the bar.

The first night we arrived- 1st port of call was Plus Soda - now i knew that the staff may have changed - but didnt expect it to be so drastic a change.  The DJ who eventually stopped playing Jive Bunny and The Birdie Song ( i think that was the only records he had) and introduced that nights entertaiment - The Acoustic Angels.  Give him his dues - he did warn that they were not pc - but that was an understatement  - and we quickly left.  Several nights past by (mainly when thay had Ladies night on were everyone was inviited to come dressed as a lady - why????) but never the less we gave it another try.  Trying to block out Jive bunny for the 15th time we settled down to do the quiz.  Now i dont expect easy questions - but come on!!
 
All in all Plus has gone down BIG TIME - its now more like a tacky Blackpool bar!! 

Melon Bar - (Bars in Kalamaki)

Such a friendly bar.  We went there every night - and had a suppurb time.  Jimmi was the most friendliest waiter on the Island and Yanni was the so welcoming  - its great to go to a bar in Greece and actually be served by the locals.  Yanni taught us loads of Greek words and by the end of the 2 weeks is was very sad to say goodbye.

Great choice of movies if you want to curl up on the sofas on a warm night  - or sit on the other side of the bar and chill to the music.

Athina Apartments - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

After spending our holiday last year at the Whitehouse Apts - this years 2 week stay at Athina was a very enjoyable stay.  Very friendly staff and the rooms were cleaned every day (unlike WH)  We were lucky and had a beach side balcony view - but there were some above trhe shop and restruant (the worst in the resort by the way) which i'm not sure i would have been impressed with.

Also the smell from all the flowers in the garden as you came in on an eveing was so beautiful - wish i could have bottled it!!

Superb food - supperb suroundings and superb staff.  We ate there loads of times whilst in Kalamki and i cant think of a single fault with the place.  Fair enough it may be more expencive the the other restaurants - but which other one can offer such high quality food and stuuning suroundings.  All the waiters were so friendly and couldnt do anything else for you - one even saved my lighter that i had left and gave me it back 2 nights later - it was only one of those cheap plastic ones!!!  Highly reccomended
