We recently visited the Lydia Apartments in Kos Town where i stayed about 20 years ago, we asked the guy behind the bar if he knew Mary (a girl who used to look after all the kids ) she was only about 15 then,turns out the guy was Marys husband.We were staying at Tingaki so never got chance to go back and see her, does anyone know her? or have an e-mail address for her?. Thanks |

This was our third or fourth visit to Lydias, and I have to say, one of our more enjoyable. There was only one other group of British there, all the other apartments were taken by Dutch families. The big difference this time was that there was hardly anyone around the pool or the bar, day or night, which meant the atmosphere was non existent remembering the lively times to be had when Mary and Sakis were there...Greek nights, Barbecue nights etc., when everyone had a good time. From my observations, the Dutch were early risers, off on their bikes around 9 am, back around 5, stayed in their rooms and went to bed at 10 with a book. At least the only advantage was it was very peaceful at night, no banging doors at 2 am, etc.. but then again, it's a holiday complex!. We were happy to stay there again, and would have no hesitation staying there again, I just wish there were more Brits there to have a drink with in the evenings, instead of going to Bahamas hotel just down the road (Mary works there by the way) or into town. We Were in block number 4, which I am led to believe is the best of the blocks, the newest built, and I have no complaints about the standard of accommodation, or the room service. The maids were around every day, anything needed changing was changed. floors cleaned daily, no complaints. So, finally, if you want a relaxing, quiet holiday, have a look at this place.

We stayed at Lydia for one week in September 2006. The location was good as it is only a 15 minute walk to the town centre where there are some excellent bars, restaurants and shops. The apartment itself was basic but it was clean and the cleaners came in every day to tidy up. The pool was nice and clean and there was rarely more than a dozen people around it. There is a small shop just down the road but there is also a low cost supermarket within easy reach that was very reasonable. The couple behind the bar were very friendly although they spoke very little English. I would highly recommend the Greek night as the food was great and Vodka George did some very entertaining dancing. I would also recommend hiring a bike for your stay as it is very cheap and the cycling itself takes very little effort as the area is so flat. Its also a good idea as it makes exploring the area in the midday heat a lot easier. Make sure you go on the 3 island boat trip as the islands are beautiful but make sure you get to the boat early so that you can get a sunbathing spot! I would also recommend going on the day trip to Bodrum Turkey. That is also a beautiful place to go and you get a bus tour thrown in plus it is only a short boat trip away. All in all we had a great time for a holiday that we paid so little for! |

My friend Carol and I stayed at the Lydia from 7th to 21st June 2006 and we loved it.
The apartment was roomy and clean although basic. Cleaners changed sheets regularly but towels could have been changed more often as we had one towel each for first 3 days! The garden and pool area was in a lovely setting and never more than 8 or 10 people around pool.
It was 10 minute walk to Lambi - nice beaches and a good selection of bars and restaurants. It was about 15 minutes walk to harbour and town where there were loads of shops, bars and restaurants. A meal for 2 with wine cost about 20 euros and many were giving away extras such as a sweet, cocktails or another half litre of wine!
We hired bikes for a week as it's so flat and cycled to Tingaki and Psalidi. It also made shopping easy as carrying water, milk and fruit juices was easier by bike!
The 3-island boat trip was a wonderful day out even though it was a bit rough coming back. We went on the Karoline boat and the BBQ was great.
We'd recommend the Lydia to anyone, families and couples alike as you can choose to have a quiet holiday or, within minutes, be in the centre of all the hustle and bustle of the centre. |

My friend Carol and I stayed at the Lydia from 7th to 21st June 2006. We loved it.
The apartment is one of the nicest (and this is our 5th Greek Island apartment) and most spacious we have ever had. Kitchen area is basic but we only ate breakfast there anyway and otherwise ate out.
Sheets were changed regularly but towels could have been changed a bit more as we had one towel each for 3 days to start with! The grounds and pool area were beautiful and never very busy, in fact, most days there were fewer than 8 people around the pool.
The situation is excellent with a 10 minute walk to Lambi area with lovely beaches and some good bars/restaurants. It's about 15 minutes walk to the harbour and town area in the other direction with lots of lovely shops, bars and restaurants to choose from. A meal for 2 with wine cost us about 20 euros and many restaurants gave us free cocktails, a sweet or half litre of wine at the end of the meal.
We hired bikes for one week and cycled to Psalidi and Tingaki as well as around Kos Town and Lambi area. Shopping for milk, water and other basics was easier by bike too!
I'd recommend the Lydia to anyone - couples, families or young people.

Had a great holiday at the Lydia Apartments, the accomodation wasnt 5
star material but we didnt pay for that so not too disappointed.. think
typical Greek accomodation and you will be fine!
Just felt obliged to say the Rep was not exactly 'gorgeous' and the
only thing that kept us awake throughout the welcome meeting was
counting how many times he said 'for yourselves', think I gave up when
I got to 64. Apart from that he had no interest in you unless you
were booking up the overpriced and over rated trips.
Overall a really good holiday, perfect location (15/20 minute from the resort centre).

Lydia apartments was situated in a nice area. it was about a 15 minute walk in to the town. we were placed in the wrong room at first because we paid for an apartment but were given a studio but they were very helpful and understanding and moved us as soon as they could. the pool area was lovely and tyhe barstaff were great. (And the rep was absoloutely gorgeous. Stuart was his name). he was also one of the best reps we have ever had. The accomodation was nice but the bathrooms were not the best they could of been. because we were sure we had a leek in our toilets an it stunk of wee all the time. We went on the three island cruise twice because we enjoyed it so much. we went on the Marianna with harry (the flamin galaar) and i advise people to go with him!!!!!!! Overall we had a fab holiday! |
