Advantages: Excellent facilities, good food Disadvantages: Isolated location
needed it or give directions or advice. They also had stocks of used books a board games which was quite handy for out by the pool.
The only gripe we had really was the location.....it's not near anywhere else in walking distance. If you want to go to the small town of Elounda or the larger AgiosNikolaos then you had to get a taxi which would cost you around 5 euros each way. We weren't at all impressed with AgiosNikolaos....it was really busy, full of shops and bars and awful restaurants. Elounda was a little bit nicer and we ended up having to go to the local doctors there as our son got an ear infection. The service was free although we did have to wait over an hour to be seen but excellent otherwise.
One other thing that gets our thumbs up was the fantastic Kids Club. It was hotel run and the staff were absolutely brilliant ...
Advantages: Great view, friendly owners and plenty of sun beds! Disadvantages: Steep hill.
Last year I went to the sunny island of Kos. This fairly large island has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world in my opinion. Even though I don't like sand I do love to watch the sea so sitting by a taverna while the sun sets on the horizon was lovely. Also the beaches weren't too crowded either!
The Hotel
I went to Kos with my family including my mam's parents. We stayed in HermesHotel in Kefalos which is built into a hill. It isn't a suitable place to take people with walking disabilities. Lots of people complained because of the hill but I found it fairly easy to walk up and down each night after a couple of games of The Alphabet Game (don't ask? my mam's idea). The owners of the hotel were very friendly and even told us our Greek names. We were all amused by our Greek names because they basically stayed the same ...
Advantages: Peace and quiet, and the Stafardo at Lithos. Disadvantages: No bakery
Agios Gordios
We visited Agios Gordios from 12th to 26th May 2008.
Agios Gordios is a one street resort, so is not for those looking for a lively night life, but for people like us who want quiet evenings talking to your partner, or new friends, over a meal in a Taverna or late night drinks, it proved ideal.
The only exception to this may be the PINK PALACE Hotel Complex, this you pass as you come down the hill into Agios. You get the impression the youngsters who go in there do not emerge again until the end of their holidays.
The one street I mentioned starts near the top of the Village at the 'BUS STOP', every notice you read or guidance you are given all seem to start at the 'BUS STOP'.
Buses run from here to CORFU TOWN, about 16 kilometers on the other side of the Island.
While we were there the buses went at 09 ...
