I am interested in staying here in early May. What are the apartments like? Are they studios of 1 bed? Are they spacious? What room & complex facilities are there?

What's the entertainment like in the resort? Are there lots of bars which do things like quizes and nice places to eat?

Are there things to do in the resort & surrounding area?

Never been to Greece before so not sure what to expect

Any help would be appreciated!

We've just booked to stay for 2 weeks at these studios, arriving 15/5/06, can't wait! We went to Halkidiki last year (May 2005) and stayed in Polichrono. Our son will have just turned 2 this year, so booking for May is good because it isn't too hot.

The area is quite quiet, & some bars/restaurants don't open until the middle of May/beginning of June, however there are plenty of places open.

We're just looking to spend some quality time in the sun away from everything! & hopefully make some new friends along the way.

Let us know if you are going to be there at the same time!

Well the weather is lovely, starting to cool a little at night but only some nights, I was there sept o5 and we had 2 weeks of lovely weather, hot but a little cloudy most days but the sun was out for most the day.
Still beach weather!!

Hi we are staying at the Aristidis Studios in may, it says in the brochure self caterings 2 rings or a mini oven. We have a young child so really need the cooking rings. Weve requested this with the travel agent but of course its just a request Has anyone satyed there and had a mini oven. I probably sound quite sad worrying about this haha ;-)

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the Aristidis and Kanelis studios are suitable for a infant (will be 20 months) And also is the weather good in September? we are going from 4th to 18th Sept this year.
Thank you

Hi,

I'm going to book my holiday tomorrow to the Aristidis and Kanelis Apartments, theres 4 of us going, 2 couples, and we are all in our early 20s.

We are flying out on the 5th june, for 2 weeks. What will the weather be like, and has anyone been to the water park recently, is it any better than the last reports I have read?!

Has anyone been there recently, or are going soon?

Please let me know what it is like!!

Thanks

Hi there

I went out with my husband for our honeymoon last year and its fantastic, gutted as tried to book again for this year and they only have appartments for 4 left making it too expensive. I have pics if anyone wants to have a look at some of the sites. just email me at paula_thirkell@yahoo.co.uk

Have fun

Just returned from a week at this hotel, the hotel is lovely very clean and the staff are really friendly, not that close to local pubs, there is a bar/ restaurant on the corner of the road called Yannis bar and just down the road is a bar called Absolute bar. Not much was open when we were there, had some lovely meals in the Victoria restaurant, beach ok was'nt that clean, they had just started to clean it up as we were leaving. Not a lot of night life going on, the place to be was Jimmy's bar behind the Australia hotel, it will be worth you hiring a car to go out and about cause it could get boring being in Foukas for 2 weeks!!! weather was ok, got a bit cold on the night!!

Hi, guys,

I am planning to go in Hanioti these days.
When is currently weather like, and is a sea wather worm enough for swimming?

Thanks

hiya

my wife and i lived there for a year so what you get will be spot on,

there are two sides to the appt's one is old and the other is the best you will find in fourka??

both are clean and the staff friendly, but its greece so don't expect it to be fast. the owner well expect eveything to revolve around him if the old get alive, he will shut the bar if he wants to sleep, stop the kids from using the pool again if he wants to sleep, the appt's are in a residential area so you have to keep quiet in the afternoon ( bet the travel agent didn't tel you that,

the village and the people are wonderfull all the restraunts are very good ( say hiya to Thomas for me ) you'll find him in the village square turn left family restraunt. one of the best,

jimmy's bar in the austrailia hotel is the one most go to but do try the one's in the village as you get more attmosphere,

But a must is the fish taverna on the beach ( yamandis) up past the church on the left is what you go there for

Hi

Just got back from Fourka, had a wondeful holiday. The apartment was very nice and the staff very freindly. Weather was hot hot hot.

Be sure to check out the rest of Halkidiki such as Sithonia and Pefkhori...lovely beaches.

PS dont bother paying for expensive market trips with your tour operator, you can get the bus for about £2.

Public transport is easy, just tell the tickey seller where you want and he will tell you where you need to go and if any changes are needed.

hi!

Just read your email, we are also staying here on 5th June for 2 weeks, we are in our 30's and travelling with our son 6 and my husbands parents. Been to halkidiki before but stayed in Hanioti and it was one of our best holidays so have decided to return. We also went in June last time and the weather was very hot, is looking good so far.

See you there!!!!

anyone remember us
we was a group of 14 in all
we got there 3/7/06 and was there a week
4 familys of us from manchester
Aristidis & Kanelis is a great super clean hotel and the ppl that run it are freindly
the best place to eat is defo the roof top bar
jimmys bar is also a nice place for all the family to have a drink
just make sure where you drink you get the price first what cost 5 euros in one bar can cost 17 euros in the next
ps dont forget to buy yourself a snorkel and glasses set 7 euros from the supermarket near jimmys barr loads of fish in a clear blue sea you realy have to see them for yourself
ive over 500 photo's on my pc email me or msn for a true pic of fourka tonyfannon@hotmail.com

dont forget also to have a walk to see the turtles now thats so so mad eat from your hand there a 20 min walk from the hotel
if your going i hope you all enjoy it as much as us 14 did

£8 a pint ?????????

or was that £8 a round????????

was the balcony the Venetian Resturant in the square cos thats where i always eat

and the Gyros cafe on the left hand side by the roundabout

didnt say a pint beer is cheap all over greece it was a Bacardi Breezer
also its was euros not pounds
yeah iit was the Venetian Resturant
and on the last day we did come across the gyro cafe 2 euros each and very nice
the only thing was you tuck your life in your own hands getting to the square at the weekend
well if any of you remember us please let me know
i was looking on the thomson web site and thinking there is some great deals right now
great ppl in a great place just book it and enjoy

Just booked an 18-30 holiday to Malia, staying at the Litsa 2 Studios. We were told that the apartment complex is about 5-10 mins walk from all the action, has a swimming pool and good laundry service. I have since been hearing pretty bad things about it and we are now getting very worried! However after google-ing the Litsa 2 i am present with about 4 different apartment complex'. Can anybody give me an honest review of the Litsa 2 and io know whether to change my holiday or not!!!!

Thanks
