Olive Grove Complex - (Accommodation in Kassiopi)

Moira S           

We liked these apartments. The owners were extremely friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The bar stayed open if the guests were around, we were there twice until 1 in the morning. I can't blame them for closing if everyone disappeared. We were there for two weeks and during that time we had maid service 3 times each week and our towels and beds were changed once a week. As the previous person said, take your own towels if you want more. The brochure said it was standard accomodation and to get anything better would have cost a lot more. The Greek pace of life is much slower in that heat and their standards are different to ours, but the apartment was clean and we had what we needed. We were only in it to sleep and shower. The pool is fantastic and well looked after. The whole atmosphere was very friendly and everyone spoke to each other. We enjoyed the 10 minute walk to the village each night, the harbour was 5 minutes further on. The walk to the beach was tough in the heat of the day. Nikos supermarket was 5 minutes away and he was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back.

Uncle Simos Restaurant - (Restaurants in Kassiopi)

We found this restaurant a week into our fortnights holiday and went back every night there after. Everything we tried was wonderful, the chef was very inventive, try the fillet steak with blackberry sauce its extremely tasty. The prices were very reasonable and the service was the best I have had on holiday. All of the waiters treated us like royalty when we went back and they made you feel like you were their only customer. I would go back to Kassiopi just to eat at Uncle Simos.

Olympic Holidays - (Tour Operators on Corfu)

We felt very sorry for our rep. He arrived in Kassiopi the day before us. He had 6 sites to look after on his own and this was his first repping job. He tried very hard and we found him very pleasant. I would say Olympic expect a lot from their reps. The transfer from the airport took over two hours for what is a 45 minute car journey. We had lots of drop offs first down very tight roads and drives which was very slow. We had problems with the car hire we booked through Olympic as the hire company told us we had paid no insurance at all and demanded 170 euros before they would leave the car. The Olympic office in Paleokastritsas told us we would have to pay and see what we could claim back. Not very impressive. All in all the holiday was good value for money because we liked our accomodation and resort, but I would hesitate about going with Olympic again.

Kassiopi - (Resorts on Corfu)

Kassiopi is beautiful and has something for everyone. You are spoilt for choice with the different restaurants. The harbour is wonderful and the locals mingle with the holiday makers and are very friendly. There is a variety of shops and travel offices who offer everything from excursions (much better value than the tour operators), car hire and accomodation. It was our first time in Kassiopi, we loved it and are planning to go back next year. I think the person who said it was boring and was glad they were only their 4 hours must have been on another plant.
