in reply to gill we booked through sunset summer sun.which is thomas cook,in this brochure they offer 2 weeks for the price of 1.it cost us 740pounds for a family of 5 in may,this is including transfers and everything,which i think sounds very good.as it is my first holiday abroad im unsure about the quality of accomodation etc,also im trying to budget for food,any ideas on rough prices of food etc?
many thanks melanie

hi dean o hara, do you stay at these apartments often? has the hawaii changed name cause this is the only site that i can find with the details. the hawaii was on thisistravel but has been removed.i was starting to worry why no one wrote about it.we are going with a young family and it is our first hol abroad so i am quite nervous,please put my mind at rest,should i tell the owners hi from you?(we go in 4 weeks)
mel :)

many thanks

well we are back,the weather was 30 deg's every day,instaed the estimated 22.the apartments were clean,bit of a mess up when we got there with which room we were in but eventually we got sorted,the airprt really did put a downer on it for us tho,both going and coming back,utter chaos.we found the hawaii restaurant quite expensive,but found angelina's €2 for kids meals(under 12's) and if you had the daily special it was €4.60,we got a free bottle of house wine every time we went,they were excellent with the kids,and acknowledged us as "nice family".we did go on one excusion with the company a beach bbq which ended up costing €105.50,which we had gone into town it would have been half the cost.went horse riding through s.b travel just over the bridge.very good.also went on the green bus twice to corfu town and once to kassiopi.on time every time and a damn site cheaper.didnt like kassiopi nothing there really.corfu town reminded me of Yorks the shambles.kids had a great time got great tans and enjoyed playing on sidari beach.the building works on started on the day we were leavingif you stand at the front gate the are just behind and to the left of the restaurant.say hi to michelle the rep from the varleys please.
hope you have a great time when you go,we wont be having another holiday till 2005 now got to save up
best of luck
mel

to geoff we stayed nearby in the hawaii the building works were opposite us,you shouldnt have any problems noise wise,the greeks dont believe in starting work early or finishing late.we barely heard anything,and try angelinas resaurant,the food is excellent,and if you linger near the outside menu you are likely to get a free bottle of house wine.i dont drink red but tried theirs and it was lovely.try the stifado,infact try anything on the menu it is good,also no service charge so we used to round up the bill to the nearest € just to be polite.
