I stayed in the Marianna Studios for the second time in May. The rooms are basic, but include a fridge, electric hob and kettle.

The Marianna Studios are a 10ish minute walk from the beach, with a supermarket 2 minutes the other way.

If you visit Tingali, stay here!

Lager is 4.5 Euros a bottle so it isn't cheap. However the fool in both Charlie Chans and El Zorros is very good. Just make sure you take your wallet with you.

Went back to Tingaki in May (2nd time, 1st July/August 02). Already planning my return in September.

Where to start???!!!!

The beach is lovely, and the water shallow.

The nightlife is OK! The bars are all open late. Mascot and Memories are little clubs. All the bars have to shut their doors at Midnight so the street may look dead, but it's a different story behind closed doors. I recommend visiting Michis Place if you fancy good music (Stones etc). Head to the beach and turn left at the roundabout (behind Dana's).

During the day it's nice and quiet, and due to the laws on music it's nice and peaceful at night.

There are the normal niknak shops and a number of super markets.

All I can say is love it.

I also recommend eating at the blue diamond. It's about 3 miles outside Tingaki along the coast road (towards Kos Town). Might be difficult finding a taxi driver that knows where it is.
