General Comments

It is a five minute stroll down into the resort which is quiet, has some great restaurants, the best being on the beach away from the sound of the motor bikes and one or two bars.

The Alykes resort is, in essence, one road. To walk from one end of the resort to the other will take you about 10 minutes and that includes stopping to look in shops!

The people were friendly, as they mostly are in Greece, the food was excellent and very reasonable, the weather was fantastic with hardly a cloud in sight.

Depending on what you are looking for, this is an excellent resort. If only the Lofos were not trying to penny pinch quite so much it would have been an outstanding holiday, rather than a very good one.

These are excellent studios let down by a total lack of cleaning.

In the two weeks we were there the pool did not get cleaned once, the filter was turned on for no more than a few hours and that was on a good day! This meant that the water was hardly crystal clear and left you often having to swim among the various wasps and flies that had decided to drown themselves during the night!

The cleaning of the rooms was no better. In two weeks the bathroom was not cleaned at all, it also had to buy your own toilet rolls and the floor got no more than the occasional mop with water.

Apart from that and the fact that the rooms cry out for air conditioning, these are a lovely set of studios, dependent upon which one you get as some have a great view and some face a wall!

One final comment, and it seems that I am moaning all the time, if you are with Olympic, which you will be if you are staying here, ignore what the brochure tells you about transfer times. You will be on the coach anywhere between 90 and 270 minutes. Make sure you have some water with you!
