Sunny View Hotel - (Accommodation in Kardamena)

Mark P           

Had a great time at Sunny View!  Try the BBQ and Karoke on the tuesday night, not really our thing but the food was good, however at 12 euro per person you might find more value for money up town.  Food is great and would advise eating at the hotel at least once during your stay, greek dishes on the menu and well as english foods.

Everywhere was very clean, however to do not take food into the rooms as you will end up infested with ants!  Rooms are basic but to be honest cant expect much more for the money you paid!
 
Takes about 30-40 minutes to walk to main resort! Bus is 90 cents each way and txi is 5 euro.
 
Beware if you go on day trip to turkey George might give you money to bring him back some fags.
 
All in all a very friendly place.
 
PS Francis - how bout some rock channels being shown on tv next time!

Amazon - (Restaurants in Kardamena)

Mark P           

We thought we'd give it a try 15 euro for 3 courses and all your drink!  Bad bad idea!  Even the coke sucked, tasted like a Netto's special!  Food was crap, service wasnt much better, and wants more they try to drag you in off the street.  Its alright to go there if you have a cast iron stomach and wanna get soo drunk you cant taste nuffing

Avli - (Restaurants in Kardamena)

Mark P           

Excellent all round!  Not bad value for money either!  Nice and romantic little court yard!

El Greco - (Restaurants in Kardamena)

Mark P           

YUMMY! free starters if you have most of the main meat dishes!  Good value for money!  Service was excellent, really friendly, only went once but the waiter stopped and talked to us each night we went past!  "ello ladies!!!!" 

Nemo - (Restaurants in Kardamena)

Mark P           

we didnt actually eat there but the place was packed every night!  They seemed to do well at catering for all sizes of groups!

Calypso Bar - (Bars in Kardamena)

Mark P           

Went to calypso 4-5 times when we where in Kardamena!  Excellent freindly service, free nuts n crisps when you have a drink!  Ice creams are good too!  Nicely situated right on the front for an afternoon of watching the world go by!

Hollywoods - (Bars in Kardamena)

Mark P           

Well done Gemma you finially got me n the misses in for a drink!  Only took you two weeks of trying!  Shame bout the music the bar played, if they played slipknot  we would have been in every night! 

Stone Roses - (Bars in Kardamena)

Mark P

Day trip to Turkey - (Kos Excursions)

Mark P           

booked our trip through ticket travel 25 euro each.  couldnt fault the travel company....but kos customs were s**t! kept us waiting hours there is no queing system and if you go on market day be ready for a long wait.

did the tour in bodrum which was worth doing.  markets were ok, make sure you haggle else you'll be ripped off. make sure you take things out the wrappers and check sizes!!!!
 
be ready for the traders shouting comments like "cheaper than the paki shops back home" and  "cheaper than matalan!"
 
if paying in euro make sure to ask for your change in euro....best to take over uk money can haggle better with that!
