I went to Kavos a few years ago on a girls holiday, and I can honestly say its the best girlie holiday I've ever had (and I've been on a few!).

We chose Kavos as we all liked Greece but none of us had been to Corfu before - we'd also heard it was "pretty lively" from the travel agent. We arrived at 6am in the morning, and as the coach pulled up near our apartments, we saw people staggering back from the bars - we knew then we were in for a boozy holiday! We weren't wrong!

Our apartments were directly on the beach - we literally had to walk down the stairs and we were on it. It was an ideal location, as it was quiet enough at night/morning to let us sleep off our hangovers, but only a few minutes walk to the main road where all the bars, restaurants and shops were.

The first night we were there, we went out about 9.30pm and it was quiet - we heard from some reps that nothing livened up until about 11pm, so we spent the first hour getting our bearings and having a few cheap drinks - most bars did the "2 for 1" on long cocktails or bottles offer - we took advantage of that! We had a brilliant night - everyone was so friendly (probably because they were all drunk!) and up for a good time. That was one of our earlier nights - we got in around 4am! That set the pattern for the rest of the holiday!

The beach was lovely, really golden sand and clear sea. You had to pay for the sunloungers and umbrellas, but it was only something like £1.50 per day. We didn't have a pool at our apartments, but there were quite a few around that would let you use theirs, for a small charge.

We kept a "snog book" during the holiday, listing details of all the blokes we met (and snogged!) and any other funny/interesting happenings. Even now, 3 years later, I still read it when I need a laugh, and remember it all like it was yesterday!

I can honestly say I've never had a holiday where I was so shattered at the end of it! When we got home (around 8am), I slept for the rest of that day, trying to recover!
