Hi Pauline
We have just returned from Lydia and had a wonderful holiday. We went with our three teenagers and they all loved it. The Lydia is set down a dirt track road with fields either side and is a good 20 minute walk to the Blue Dolphin roundabout in the centre of Kos Town.Be sure to take some comfortable shoes with you as mine are still blistered from the walking in the tremendous heat! Lydia apartments are fine they are a bit dated but the maids come in everyday except Sunday.The air conditioning is free for Airtour customers only the Thomsoms lot have to pay for it and yes you have to pay 100 euros deposit for the control pad.The safety deposit boxes are situated near the bar area. Lydia is set in lovely gardens kept tidy by the brilliant Vodka George-doesnt speak a word of English but what a nice bloke. Be sure to go to the Greek Night we went both weeks and just loved it. Lilian and her family will make you very welcome. Oh how I wish we still had our holiday at Lydia to come. Have a great time.
