me, my wife and our 7 yr old son are going to stay at the Matoula apts (First Choice) on 28th June 2004, and were wondering if any other families are going with kids of similar ages to our son, as he tends to get bored of adult company very easily, and us adults would like a few moments to ourselves!! look forward to hearing from u

Hi Terry, the waterpark (Hydropolis) is a leisurely half hours walk from Matoula Apts. Its well worth a visit we took our 7 yr old twice while we stayed there. Prices are 15E for adults and 10E for children, but you can get discounted tickets from local tour operators on the main road. One word of warning though, the waterpark is set in a valley, so you have to go down a big slope to get in, and the slope seems twice as long on your way out if its as hot as it was when we were there! Just walk to the main road from the apartments and turn left past main supermarket and keep walking, you wont be able to miss it, have a great time!

Your welcome Terry, Matoula Apts are a lovely place to stay, im sure u wont be disappointed. There is a larger water park in central Corfu, we cant comment because we never went, but im sure the one in Acharavi will be plenty good enough for you all. We might even see you there next year, as we are going to book up at Matoula again next year, and we are considering August too!

Hi again Terry, dont want to seem like a know all, but the beach is mainly sandy with a little ridge of stones just as u enter the sea, but once in the sea its all sand. Its also very shallow, so its perfect for kids. You will find plenty of lovely tavernas in Acharavi, these are mainly situated on the beachfront and along the main road of the town, i wont recommend a favorite because everyones taste differs, but I can honestly say i never had a bad meal in 2 weeks, and never went home hungry either!
hope this helps
