In answer to Justine's question, myself and 2 friends stayed in the Mega Idrie Apts. They are very quiet and set back. Approx 2 kms away from the centre. However, they are very clean and well looked after. The owner is a great bloke, who really looks after the place. He will also let you have a late check out if you ask - something the Rep said couldn't happen!
3 of us have just returned from sidari! apart from having a punch up amongst ourselves (first night, too drunk, too early!!) the holiday was a blast. i had the greeks all wrong. they were the nicest bunch of people i have met and really go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
sidari has a good balance of young and old, singles and families. it is not too quiet like roda nor in your face like kavos. it seems crazy to be sitting in a bar at midnight and still see families walking around you.
unlike some other greek resorts (malia, kavos, ipsos etc), nobody seemed up their own a**e either!! it was a great laugh.
the boys from notts..............
Our apartment was small. It didn't matter much though as we weren't there much. Very clean. The owner is sound. Just too far away from the centre!! Saying that, we were 3 lazy blokes!!
Also, there is another pool complex next door, which was great!
