errrm....
errrrmmmmmm... ask me another!

We went to the Coralli Apartments in Pefkos on a self catering basis, but with no intention of cooking for ourselves as we ate out every night. The Coralli has a restaurant bar and pool area, which is very clean, and the menu is so extensive.

We decided that as the restaurant was pretty full every night, we would leave it until our last night to eat there. What a mistake! We should have eaten there every night. There are at least 200 items on the menu, from snacks right through to home cooked traditional Greek dishes. We did eat during the day (mainly snacks, but again freshly cooked). The staff couldn't do enough for us, and people flocked from everywhere to eat there. Well you get the idea about the food. Enough said.

The bar was a really good laugh at night, and all the guests were friendly and chatting together. We met one couple on their 11th visit. That kind of sums up how good the Coralli is!

The rooms were cleaned daily, and sheets and towels were changed every other day. Don't go there expecting the Hilton, as the apartments are very basic, but what do you need to get your head down? We were lucky, and we were given a two bedroom apartment, but each bedroom was massive; 2 beds, triple wardrobe and one room also had a sofa, the other a fridge!

The kitchen was compact, but it had two cooking rings and all utensils for those that would want to cook (why?). The supermarket was well stocked with goodies, and offered a very wide range of fresh fruit and veg. There is also another supermarket right next door, and then Poppy's down the road to the main drag, which was also well stocked, and opened late for our toilet roll stops on the way home. The staff there were very friendly - typical of most in Pefkos.

Pefkos itself offers a good variety of restaurants and bars, and it is a very relaxing place. We hired a car for 3 days for 50 Euro's (yes 50), and we saw almost the whole island. The water park at Faliraki is fabulous, and Prosinassi beach on the south of the island is worth half a day. Lindos is also a lovely place. Rhodes old town is very nice too, with lots of shops, bars and restaurants. If you want souvenirs then shop around in Rhodes and you will save money.

We have been to Greece previously (Kos), and we found the place a little dirty (we really aren't picky - we still enjoyed Kos). However, Pefkos and everywhere we visited in Rhodes was spotless, especially toilets for the ladies :-) There was even one in Lindos which had rotating cling film over the seat to keep the seat clean - very impressed - that was Maria's bar, recommend by my mam. The food there was top notch and reasonably priced - very child friendly too - no screaming kids though, which is what we like, as we were out for a relaxing evening.

Overall, it was a fantastic holiday, and we will be returning next year to get married, and the reception will be at the Corrali restaurant.
