Fotini Complex

 

We have just returned from our 4th 2 week holiday at the Fotini complex and annexes.

As usual the hill up to the apartments is a necessary evil to achieve the wonderful views of the bay.

This problem is easily solved by hiring a scooter or car from the friendly and reasonably priced George Michaelas Hire Shop at the bottom of the hill.

The Moody Blue Bar at the bottom of the hill was offering a free taxi service to the top of the hill after late night drinks at the bar.

Fotini and her sister Corrina,with her parents and her granny were once again on duty some 18 hours per day giving excellent service.

Bar facilities are great with drinks,breakfasts & meals available at all times.

Room facilities are basic but comfortable with electricity included.

Extra electrical needs ie fans/air con are charged as extras which we considered to be entirely reasonable.

The pool was kept spotless as usual with granny cleaning it most days in a stance which could only be described as gymnastically challenging.

The current luggage arrangments are that the bags are stored within sight of the bar from midday until they are collected by the owner of the Moody Blue bar until pick up.

The Moody Blue bar is open all of this time for drinks etc and the luggage is well looked after.

In conclusion,staying in Paleokastritsa is probably the best decision to make if you want to stay on Corfu.

Staying in the Fotini complex is a wise decision if you are staying in Paleokastritsa

we went back again this year june/july and took my son & his girlfriend too and it was even better than before. the bbq cum greek night was just brill, fotini and her sister were fantastic dancers. Grans cooking is a delight. hill does not get any easier but the beer is still refreshing. Fotini's  quiz nights are a good laugh especially as she tries hard to get the words right. overall a good holiday and hope to be back soon. if any bodys there shortly give them my regards.

 

Just spent 2 weeks there, and Paleo was the perfect location for what we wanted - quiet, but with a few bars and some lovely restaurants.

 

The Fotinoula (one of the add-ons to the actual complex) is run by a lovely lady. She always keeps the apartments clean. These are basic apartments, but if you book a package tour like this, then they are exactly what you should expect. If you want luxury, you need a hotel!!!

 

The pool & bar for the complex is lovely - friendly, clean and good fun in the evening when they hold a themed night - nothing tacky thankfully, but just a good way to meet some of the other folks living around you.

 

The walk to from the main road IS steep, especially after a 3 couse meal and some wine, but again, the Olympic brochure states this very clearly.

 

The worst thing was that they take your bags at midday, and they sit around unguarded for a few hours (for our late transfer, that would have been untl midnight!). We hired the room for 30 euros extra, which meant a nice easy day, and a hot shower at the end of it. Expensive, but worth it, as a few others who stayed there agreed.

 

I heard reports about the owner (Spiros) losing his temper at someone, but to be honest, for him to do that you must have to show a serious disrespect - he's a lovely fellow!

 

I would recommend Paleo & Fotinoula to anyone who can manage a walk up a big hill!

 

From some of the comments already written, I would say that Mrs Packman was the lady who wanted moving from the Annex to the Complex proper, and caused such a fuss that she caused her own miserable-ness for her holiday. Well done 

Worst holiday we have had in years.  That hill alone could ruin your holiday, it is very steep and a killer never again.
