Information and help please / Re: panic stations at Athinas latest review
« on: September 05, 2010, 06:32:11 PM »
Hi, Just come back from a week at the Athina, it was our 4th time there and it was just as nice as ever, so dont worry. Most people that stay there are repeat clients so if it was bad would they all return.

Everyone is so friendly and I cannot understand why they would call George the waiter a tyrant, he is lovely.Always ready to help, if there is nothing on the menu you like he will offer omelettes or chicken without the sauce etc.

Rooms are spotless, towels changed every day, beds made everyday too. The only downside I could possible think of is that the carpets are looking a bit faded, but hey does that matter, at least it makes it quieter if you are below someone with 'heels'.

You will have a great time, the pool is fabulous, and just beyond that you are on the gorgeous beach, I would give it 10 out of 10 every time.

Glad you had a good time :)

We got back on Tuesday after spending a lovely week there, not long enough though, wish we'd had two weeks, maybe next year!

We missed last year but in our opinion it hasn't changed a bit, perhaps quieter than 2008 but just as nice. Everyone once again was so friendly and everyone without fail remembered us. Stayed in the Athina again which was as nice as ever, all the young children there are growing up so quickly!

Saw Glen in Aquarius and his new baby, she is lovely.

I thought the beach was better than expected, after all the discussion was expecting a narrow strip but just a bit narrower than we remember, sand banks went out for miles so it was ages before you could disappear under the sea and swim.

We had perfect weather for the whole week, a bit windy on Sunday night when we went up to Akrotiri but not too bad, its gorgeous there,fantastic views. Had a lovely breakfast at Gravia too. Good flights, great transfers with Thomsons and as far as we could see, no wasps!
Now we have to wait a whole year to go back :(

Hi everyone - a challenge for you regulars. Does anyone know where Yanni/Yannis is this year, he used to have the beds and umbrellas in front of the Athina in 2006 and 2007. I think he was working at the Romanza in 2008 or so we were told.

We would love to say hello to him again as he was so friendly and helpful to us, especially in 2007 when we went for the second time. The previous time we had been with my parents and in 2007 it was just my 2 daughters and myself and he took it upon himself to keep an eye on us and look after our things on the beach etc.

Just one of the many lovely people we have met, always feel so safe there and never worry about being on our own, wonder who else is still about as we missed going last year.

Thanks

Has anyone been on the either trip to Kassiopi or the grand island tour - if so is it worth going?

Thanks :)

Just joined this board although I have been 'lurking' for a while. everyone seems so friendly that I thought I'd take the plunge and join in!

Going back to SS for our 4th time on the 23rd, staying at the Athina again. loved the hotel on previous visits so hope its still as good.

Dont know quite what it is about SS that draws us back, I think it may be the people, been to many Greek places but nowhere are they as friendly as SS. I think its also the visitors, never have I seen anyone cause trouble or be anything but friendly. Anyway we can only manage a week so didn't want to risk somewhere new and then be disappointed.

We have probably already said hello to many of you before not knowing who you were, perhaps this year may meet some of you properly!
Lets just hope that the possible air strikes don't spoil anyones hard earned holiday!
