Can't help on your hotel but can tell you that you should find something to eat,most places do stuffed peppers(with or without the meat)& the salads are lovely,take it you don't eat fish either???if you do then there are lovely fresh fish dishes & not very Greek but a good option if all else fails is pizza.Most restaurants should be quite accomodating & nearly all of them offer a vegetarian selection.Kalithea's brilliant,busy with lots of shops,bars & "clubs"!Bars in Kriopigi are good.Casablanca,Ostria,Classic & Cream all do good measures & wicked cocktails or go to Googlers & have a Googlers special cocktail.Have you looked on www.holidaysexposed.com & www.holidaysuncovered.com for reviews on your hotel?

Hi Debbie,

I dont suppose you are the Debbie I am looking for, but trying to find out if my good friends Debs and Anthony from Pillars have an email address that I can write to them on.
We send cards each xmas and ring each other once a year, but thought they may have an email they have not given me.
Would you please be good enough to ask them for me. You can tell them its Maggi from Spain.
Many thanks,
MT

Maggi..........yes the Debs on here is the one you want,Pillars is now Googlers internet cafe/bar,Anthony runs Casablanca bar.Debs has only set her e-mail up this year,not sure how she'd feel about me putting her e-mail on here so just in case if you want to e-mail me on kerrylloyd21@hotmail.com i'll gladly give it to you that way.x

Hi, We are staying at Kassandra Bay Hotel for a cheapy week late September (19) 2005 is it worth getting a taxi from the Airport also any ideas on cost. Would also consider private hire limo as a treat - I hate tour bus trips via all the other hotels. Appreciate any info and tips for best places. many thanks
Dave Raven

Hi Dave.....i always get a taxi to & from the airport because i don't do package holidays,you might be pushed to get a limo though,don't think i've ever seen one over there haha!There's no need to book a taxi in advance as there is a big taxi rank outside the airport (just follow the swarms of people going for coaches but turn left as they turn right)You're looking at about 50-55 euros each way,some drivers will try & charge you more or quote you more but they all run on meters anyway so keep your eye on that & it should come to roughly the price i've said!Hope that's of some use,anything else just ask.

Hi John and Family,

we're off to the alkion on the 8th september so would be grateful of any feedback when you get home. Have a great holiday.
Pam

Thanks for the info Kerry that is really useful. Think I used the wrong terminology with "Limo" was thinking more private hire. Taxi sounds great and Sue and I will be there on 19 Sept.

Sincere thanks again

Dave

Going to the Alkion for 2 weeks from 1st September, this is our first visit to this area of Greece.

Is there any walking possible into the surrounding countryside, we are 2 moderately fit 61 year olds. Anyone know of any guide books, maps, sources of advice locally?

Thanks in advance

Roger

Dave ...it was very early when i read the post so i probably mis understood it anyway haha(damn night shifts!!!!!)The taxi's are very comfortable,mostly Mercs so you'll get there in comfort!...Roger...yes there is walking,lovely places to walk to too,if you are staying at the Alkion then a walk up through the village of Kriopigi is nice & you can walk to Kassandria that way too & the other resorts are walkable to,ask at your hotel if they have a map to plan your walks,if they don't i'm sure they'll be able to tell you where to get one or have a look for one of the AA pocket guides or the rough guide books,these usually have maps & all the info you need.

Pam
going for 2 weeks from the 25th aug and so get back when you are going
i will drop a note from there if i have time and give you some details
anyone else going to the alkion from 25th Aug ?

In 7 days me and my husband will be at Kassandra Pallace Hotel,which is a 4 stars hotel...as they say.I've red the reviews from TripAdvisor and holidaysuncovered.com, and some people say that it's not even 2 stars.That's nothing we can do now,as we already payed and we cannot change anything now.
Today I was looking on internet to see again were we are going....and accidently I've seen the same picture at Kassandra Palace Hotel as at Kassandra Inn Hotel(which is a 2 stars hotel).They are both in the same place,but the rooms are different...of course at 2 stars, no AC and who knows how many "no"s...
Now our probleme is ...wich one is the hotel? I'm wondering if those who wrote that the hotel is about 2 stars even if they payed a 4 stars hotel,maybe they were placed in those rooms which belong to Kassandra Inn ,not Kassandra Pallace....I am really very confused .
So..please help me! If anyone of you has been there please tell me how is there and how do I get what I've payed for....Please!

P.S.: please excuse my English.

i cant wait for this trip (also going on sept 8th) this resort seems perfect for the peace and quiet i crave at the minute. i just hope this aparthotel live up to its 'reputation'.

anyone know what the weather is like.

Sharron.....yes Kriopigi is perfect for peace & quiet,you have the busier resorts nearby if you want noise.Afitos is also worth a visit if you like nice quiet "proper" Greek places.

Does anyone know how to get a map of kriopigi or even halkidiki

Hi there, i went on line to the greek tourist board (GNTO) and requested maps and booklets etc.of halikidiki and the surrounding area and they sent load of stuff for free!!!!
