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: 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 ...
Advantages: Beach, weather, food, people Disadvantages: not much to do, waterhoppers
/drink to the pool area which is a pain when self catering as this can get costly. You have to pay extra for air conditioning and we didn't feel it was worth it. Make sure you take mosquito repellent and cream - you will need it. We had a first floor room facing the hills and had a good view of the sunset. They came in and cleaned the rooms very briefly daily although in 2 weeks the towels were only changed about 3 times and some nights the bedding hadn't been changed. The owner and staff were very friendly. The complex is about 30 minute walk from the centre of St Georges. The beach was a 5-10 minute walk as was the supermarket.
St Georges - Agios Gordios
St Georges was a nice town although very quite. The resort was good for older couples and those with families however not for anyone after a lively time. It has about 20 bars ...
