only have one thing to say, regarding the comment about SS becoming "Sidarised" and Macdonalds . 

These will never happen in SS, as some of our FRIENDS that live there, talk to us about the lifestyle and some of the laws etc - as some of them do actually like to tell us about the Greek way of life and not TRY to be Brits for us - and we are told that they can only build a few private house's in SS from now on, no more Hotels etc, so it will never become a "built up" town.

This news, for some of us, is great, as it will stay as we like it - a piece of paradise to unwind from our hectic work/life styles.

Hi Andy

Our first ever Greek experience was Kos in 78, at that time the airport was little more than a shed,everywhere was greek music, real grilled meat, fish that were alive prior to being chosen , visits to the kitchen, bartering with a drink in hand,totally magical, but we never went back , why? because we knew it could never maintain that level of realism and why get disappointed, looking at Kos now...looks like our instincts were right.

Places like Thassos and Naxos , Kalymnos, Pserimos,retain that traditional feel..so they are out there. We started going to Corfu  principally because we had kids and it was convenient and within our budget, and it is a lovely island, but I think we've exhausted it - except , perhaps the SW - Kassiopi was lovely in 95.Polis on Cyprus really is fantastic in a way you'd enjoy I'm sure.

Being a bit of a muso, the apparent lack of tradional or contemporary Greek music was a disapointment - never mind theres always Darren May ::)

You'll love Paxos, but no sandy beaches

Hi Sarah,

Glad to hear abot the no new hotels bit. We have also been told that there will never be a Macdonalds in SS. No Sidari-ism for our lovely piece of paradise. ;)

Zimmer:
yeah but Jools dont you think that strip opposite the Thomas Bay is a bit...er..Sidari-ish- whatever?
youve got the Star Bar, bar38,Condor,gladiator bar,Zeus[?]bar in an area about 100 yards long, thats quite a conglomeration of bar's in what is supposedly a "sleepy" resort,maybe it's me but, to my way of thinking, thats pretty built up...I certainly didnt fancy staying in the Thomas Bay or the Barras with all that going on opposite :o

Jules:
I don't think that is built up at all when you consider what Sidari is actually like. The bars are not actually one after another and are not Sidari like at all.
