Hi Jane,
the Ektor apartments are about 10 minutes walk from the centre of town.
We absolutely loved staying at Ektor I hope you will too.
There are 2 supermarkets just up the road, you can see them from the entrance to Ektors.
Salt and Pepper is only 200yards away, they do a fantastic breakfast and the trip buses stop outside their restaurant so we found it very handy to have eat there first.
There are no pavements in most of the town, and in the begining I found it pretty scary walking on the road as it's quite busy, but after a couple of days, you ignore the traffic and just get on with it.
There are tons of trips to go on, you must visit the waterparks especially Aqualand.
My favourite trip was to Albania, but I'm not sure your kids will enjoy as there were no children at all on the trip we took.
The beach BBQ was a bit of a nightmare as the small cove we went to was pounded by the sun all day and stones kept falling on us from the cliffs behind, but the food was lovely.
There is a glass bottom boat trip that a lot of people from Ektors went on and they all said how much they enjoyed.
Don't book your trips through the rep, go into town there are loads of travel shops where you can book a LOT cheaper.
Finally, Sidari has a couple of beaches and plenty of boats, bananas etc to keep the kids amused., and make sure you spend time around the Canal D'Amour area, you'll see some amazing views and lots of lizards.
