I WOULD LIKE TO REPLY TO MARC, ABOUT THE TOILET PAPER AND THE CURTENS IN THE SHOWER. THE REASON GREEK HOTELS DO NOT USE CURTENS IS BECOUSE THEY HAVE TO REPLACR IN EVERY NEW ARRIVAL NEW CURTEN IN EVERY ROOM! THINK ABOUT THE EXPENSES!!!!! OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE THE 101 PERSON WHO SHOWERED WITH THE SAME CURTEN?????? (I DONT THINK SO)!!! AND PACKAGE HOLIDAYS WHY DO YOU THINK ARE CHEAP!!!!!!! AND ABOUT THE TOILET PAPER IS BECOUSE THE TOURIST AREAS LIKE TIGAKI, USE SMALLER PIPES FOR THE FLASHING WATER!!!! THANK YOU, AND NEXT TIME ASK THE HOTELIER FOR MORE INFORMATION!!! | ||||||||||

Plus Points Aspro Spiti appartments are basic and reasonably clean. The pool is of a decent size! We had our room cleaned everyday with the inclusion of fresh towels as well. Staff are freindly. Expect to pay a little more for your grub & booze beside the poolside, but it is ok. The appartments are next to Konstantinos Supermarket, for all your essentials and the beach is a 15 minute stroll away down the main road, where you will pass the majority of the plentysome tavernas and restaurants...too many to mention. Minus Points We personally did not think there was enough sunbeds. The poolside bar is reasonably priced, but avoid the cocktails, they were twice the price of any other bar we visited and not very good unfortunately. No shower curtain which was annoying! (Greeks find this unhygienic apparently - but its ok to wipe your butt and put it in the bin, 'a little contradiction there we think') and if your not a fan of pidgeons, beware...they take up residency on the roof quite a lot. | ||||||||||

8th till 15th October 2005 My wife and I love Greece - if your going for the first time, why not try out Aspro Spiti in Tingaki (or Tigaki as its spelt sometimes). It was our second time to Kos although our 6th time to Greece overall. Everyone has their opinions about these apartments and rightfully so. Most people are in favour of them including us. We stayed for a week (out of season really), and as people had already stated, they are basic but clean. We had an apartment for 4 people, so we had bags of room for the 2 of us. A few people moan about putting 'used' toilet paper in the bin. I have to agree with them on that...I've never done that in Greece (I feel sorry for the maids. They don't get paid that much...Not enough to deal with that anyway) I tend to flush after every wipe ....its longer, but it works! Another person stated that they don't use shower curtains because they are un-hygenic! A bit of a  when your asked to place 's**t paper' in pedal bin in the same room | ||||||||||

| My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed out holiday here. The apartments are clean, spacious and well equipped Greece. It is run by Nikos and his family and they couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The pool is a good size with a seperate bit for the kids. Sunbeds were always available whatever time of the day you venture down. The apartments are about 10-15 minute stroll down the main road from the beach (1KM away). The beach is fab with white sand and plenty of sunbeds with very comfy matresses on them which cost 3 euros each a day (about £2). The water is crystal clear and you can walk out for ages without getting out of your depth - no good for snorkelling though as you can't get into deep enough water to see anything other than the sand at the bottom!! The doughnut man comes along the beach regularly with massive doughnuts - yummy!! Tigaki it's self was everything we wanted. Loads of bars and taverna's and a couple of disco bars open till the small hours. Go and see Yanni at Mascot's for a warm welcome - open 7pm till very late - great nights out!! Our fav restaurant was the Grand Salle - fab food - value for money and not expensive - we went 5 times and we were given wine on the house a couple of times, shots on others - George and Vassilias are there ready to welcome you - you could not meet nicer people!!!!! Don't forget to visit Kos town on the Bus - get the bus from outside the supermarket right next door - it cost 1 Euro 30 each one way - for even more fun nights out and great days too. Visit the castle, museum, etc - you won't be disappointed!! At night in Kos town - go to Jumbo Style restaurant in the square behind the church for the best mixed grill for 2 in kos town!!! Don't believe Mr Snow's comments - I did not find anything wrong here - in fact it's one of my best holidays ever and I can't wait to go back next year!! | ||||||||||

We have been visiting Kos for the last 12 years and have stayed at Aspro Spiti most years and Sunny Days a few times. The accomodation is great and the owners Stevie and Alex and their son Nikos makes you feel welcome.
If you are looking for a relaxing holiday, this is the best place to be.
Tigaki is fantastic for families and bosts many good restuarants and bars. At the end of the night, being around the Aspro Spiti Bar is just the place to have a few drinks before retiring to bed (sometimes this can be late) especially if both Nikos's are there, delivering the "double act".
We return each year because we feel such a close bond with the local people and have become very close to Stevie, Alex and Nikos.
Counting down the days before I go back to my second home, Aspro Spiti, Tigaki, Kos......... | ||||||||||

| Last visited Aspro Spiti in May 2002 (our second year running) and all 4 of us (myself, wife, son of 8 and daughter of 6) had an excellent holiday. Nicos, Katerina, and all staff, espescially Maria, couldnt have been more helpful and friendly towards us. When we arrived they recognised us straight away and brought Xanthi, their newborn, over to see us. The rooms are basic, but clean and the pool and bar are ideal for a family holiday. We will be returning to see old friends next May with our new baby boy and I know we will not be disappointed.
With regards to comments by John Snow, he is entitled to his opinion, but the praise from all the people who have enjoyed their hols at Aspro Spiti far outweigh one whinger who wants a champagne holiday for lemonade money ! See you next year Nico | ||||||||||

hi, ive been to kos 6 times now and stayed at aspro spiti (white house) 4 of those times. and each time its been a holiday to remember, cant wait to go again! . like all places you eiether like or hate it, dont go with your expectations to high and you wont be dissapointed. their standards WILL be lower than yours, e.g putting the loo roll in a bin as appossed to in the loo, this is due to the fact that all sewage is treated and not pumped into the sea like it is here (uk) plus the pipes are a smaller diameter and block easily. so if you dont want to see yours and every one elses buisseness on your apprtment bathroom floor, put the paper in the bin!. oh and you will NOT have a shower curtain, they are considerd unhygenic. some tips for you
 a. hire a car and explore(you can get from one end to the other in 40 mins)
b. go to the hot springs (go through kos town and keep going you cant miss it the road ends just after the turn for the springs which is on the left) you can drive down to it but is very steep so be careful. ohh and watch out for kamikazi stunt mountain goats .
c. if you use a taxi ask how much before you get in
d. if you intend on going to bodrum for the day use theokritis travel, you will avoid long delays at the port. also very good for other trips.
well be safe, have fun . if you would like any other help about kos/ apro spiti
you can e-mail me, debz750@aol.com
