Cleopatra Classic Hotel - (Accommodation in Kardamena)

Alix C           

Hello there. I have just come back from a week in Kardemena with my fiance staying at the Cleopatra Apartments. We had a great holiday and would definately go back.

The apartments are very basic (especially the bathroom) but clean and tidy. The pool is nice and we always managed to get a sunbed although it isn't peak season yet. The bar serves drinks all day and food from 10am-5.30pm. The menu is quite varied and we enjoyed the food a lot, nothing at all to complain about. The staff are also nice and friendly.
 
Bars to go to - we used to go to a bar called The Two Johnnies which wasn't far from the apartments. They had an entertainer on 3 days out of 5 and he happened to be from my home town, Jarrow! He was very good, doing stuff like Chubby Brown, Allie G, Freddie Mercury, etc so I defo recommend going to that bar on one of his evenings if you fancy a laugh. Other bars we went to a lot were Bar 1960 (which is owned by the Cleopatra apartments' owner) which is on the square and you can just sit chilling outside watching everyone go by which which is next door to the Stone Roses Bar, the music here was good and as you would imagine from the name, playing stuff like Paul Weller, Keane, etc. Crackers is defo one for the young ones and groups of lads/lasses which we used to go to all the time. There are loads of pubs down bar street too but we didn't venture there much as the PRs get right on your nerves, esepcially with us being a couple, I suppose groups of lads and lasses would be OK as you just want to get minging! As far as clubs are concerned we tried Sugar, Status, and Starlight. I DO NOT recommend Sugar at all , it reminded us of some seedy brothel and it is tiny, Status was like a proper nightclub but more RnB and we didn't know hardly any songs that were played..........but Starlight...................which just opened for the season on our third last day was absolutely brilliant...........I would tell you not to waste your time going anywhere else, it was fantastic, lots of dance music and old skool dance music. We really did love that place!
 
What else.........food...........I can honestly say that the food in Kos is superb (providing you go to the right places). I can definately recommend Yianni, Ariani, Nemo (they specialise in seafood as well as the other stuff they servce) and our favourite..Scala which is just before you come to McDonalds round from the square. The food really is top qualitiy and we ate here about 3 nights out of 7. However if you want your normal burgers and chips I do not recommend going to any of the above places!
 
And that is all I can think about at the moment..........if you are due to go to Kos for the first time this year I can guarantee you will have a great time...........if you are prone to get bit off the mossies don't forget to take plenty of insect repellant as I got bit 6 times within my first few hours there!....
 
If you have any questions I will try and answer them for you......bye!

Hello there! I don't think I know the sportsman bar unfortunately......The Cleopatra Apartments are not far from the Cleopatra Superior Hotel - if that is where you are staying it looks lovely and I heard good reports of it during my stay  - much better than the apartments! They aren't far, I reckon only a 5-10 minute walk from Stone Roses, 1960, etc.
