Elga Apartments - (Accommodation in Kardamena)

Marie D           

    This is a hotel which has clearly seen better days.  We arrived on 19 May 2005 for one week.  We had no hot water whatsoever whilst we were there and were told that the 18-30 brigade would be there from 1 June and they wouldn't be bothered.  Name me someone who doesn't like to wash themselves before they go out????

 
The hotel does not cater those over 30 as the poolside disco started at 11am in the morning - about 600 decibels so I couldn't even recover from my hangover in peace!
 
We were lucky with our maid in that the rooms/linen were very clean however others were not so lucky and apartments were substandard.
 
Please also make sure you have 60 Euros per room ready on arrival as a deposit for breakages.
 
Kardamena is a must for nights out but this hotel is not!!

Loustros - (Restaurants in Kardamena)

We were recommended to this very underrated restaurant (according to this website) by other hotel guests.
 
I cannot praise the food and service enough.  Everyone was very welcoming - especially Mel and Stella.  The menu is very wide ranging - anything from Greek food, stir fries or traditional English: All cooked by the very capable hands of the international Chefs (who changed last year I understand).  It was so good, we ate there 4 meals out of 7 and this was only because we didn't hear about it earlier on in the holiday.  You may have to wait a little while but it is worth it as all the food is fresh and cooked on demand.  The home made panacotta is to die for!!
 
Go on - give it a try.  It's right on the prom near MacDonalds (burgers will never be the same).
