Is Mark talking about the same Coconut Bar as the rest of us?!
It sounds as though he had a miserable time in there, could it be that none of the, so called by him,"poor babes" would look at him!!
"A bar with no redeeming features"...Oh!and "dismal too"
Could it be he is talking about himself!!
Lets face it we are not all going to like the same places, but that was an absolute lot of tosh if ever I've heard any.
Sounds like sour grapes to me, for some reason or other?

We have stayed at the Mathraki 5 times in the last 18mths and I guess you can say that we love staying there!

What makes the apartments extra special is Akis and his lovely family who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. You must try Nicolettes Greek omlette made with eggs that could not be any fresher as they are from her own hens! Mmm.....lovely for lunch washed down with a glass of local wine, before returning to the sunbeds by the pool for a lazy afternoon.

I love a slow stroll to the beach using the little back road which takes you past some small holdings with their goats,turkeys, fruits and vegetables and the wild flowers growing by the road. This road ends at a traditional taverna in a perfect location to have a drink overlooking the beach.

Give the Mathraki a try, it is very good value for money with Greek hospitality at it's best.
