Zouboulia Studios - (Accommodation in Kardamena)

i read on this site, the 2 page rant by the people who thought the appartment was awful. it worried me that i was going to a s**thole in the back of beyond. i am sorry that they had a rough time but i was relieved when i got there. there is some truth about the cleaning, my toilet i don't think was cleaned in the 2 weeks i stayed. the shower is basic without a curtain, the greeks must have a way of showering which does not flood the bathroom but i never worked it out. i took to using a towel to mop the floor as nothing else was on offer and otherwise you just walked water and dirt everywhere. the kitchen was basic but fine to cook in.
as to street lighting, fine, i could not see the couple's problem. i had a lovely view of the church and the street off my balconey. it did not seem too noisy to me. location was great 2 minutes from the bars and shops.
i went at the end of the season and the resort was dying on its feet-don't go right at the end unless you like zen buddhism and stillness. the appartments have no communal areas apart fromt the pool. i briefly used the pool, which i don't think are owned by the same people who own the appartments. it was okay but i prefered to pool hop(like burt lancaster) to better pools-hotels pools are generally nicer, which no one objected to. they closed the pool anyway before i left as no one was using it.
these appartments are limited but fine, what else do you want for a cheap holiday abroad?

October - (Best Time to Visit)

Went Kardema last 2 weeks in october. Sunny first week didn't know why i had brought jumpers, going stormy 2nd week and colder. Resort slowly died around us and I mean dead by the end. Cheap beer but only a few bars with any life. 2 nightclubs then one then none. A lot of bars had given up PRs and just showed friends constatly-I thought how sad to sit and watch Friends on your holiday until my second week when I look forward to killing time by watching 3 episodes with a beer just to kill an hour or two. Do not go if you expect some life, only ok if you are with someone and want to relax. May and september are reckoned to be the best everything open and thriving but none of the madness of June,July August
