ok so they're a bit agricultural but you can't beat them when you head off onto the dirt roads or go hunting the thermal springs down horrible bumpy tracks. Try taking a hatchback down one of those!

And you're on holiday! Get the roof off and go for a tan, just don't forget to take a top and long pants for those long drives home after dark - even paradise gets chilly at night...

we just love kos and kefalos in particular, but this year (may 2003) we needed medical help. the tour rep (golden sun) advised us to visit the medihelp clinic - which was just next door - convenient eh!

anyway, treatment consisted of a prescription and advice to come back later for a check up. we tried, but the doc was never there, so eventually gave up after about 5 attempts. for this two minute consultation we were charged euro 60.00 (the policy excess, strangely), and were told that the e111 wasnt applicable. (we later found out that this was because medihelp is a private clinic and if we'd gone to the surgery in the village there'd have been no charge). The 60 euros was going to be the only fee, we were told.
On return to the uk we received a bill from 'assured european management' a company who told us they'd bought our 'debt' and that we owed them another gbp125.00 (approx). we had to pay within 14 days or legal action...etc. the holiday insurers told us this is a common practice, but the bill is usually nearer gbp 2,000!
LOTS of stress and hassle, if you need medical treatment phone your insurers emergency helpline before seeing anyone, unless of course you're lying underneath a taxi at the time!
enjoy your hols!
