We spent many a memorable night at the Simos Taverna when we visited Psalidi, Kos a few years ago. After trying different greek islands, we have decided to return to where our hearts lie - Psalidi in Kos. More importantly, to Simos and his wonderful wife, Felicia and the staff of their taverna. We have made enquiries only to hear the taverna is no longer there, can you offer us any information as to what has happened or if they can be contacted.

Teresa, you've made my day! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a msge. I had heard about Nikos taverna but had no idea that he was Simos cousin, let alone that Simos was working there! I dont suppose you can confirm if Felica, Simos wife is ok, last time we were there 8 years ago she was almost blind with diabeties. My friend & I became quite friendly with her & it would be nice to know she is doing ok - we can take some of her favoutite yorkshire tea for her! Also, is 'old' Simos still in the kitchen or has he finally hung up his apron & taking it easy? And finally, Alex & Miltos, are either of them working for Nikos? It sounds like Psalidi has changed somewhat from when we were there 8 years ago, I hope it isnt too built up & that too many people have discovered it! That was part of its charm dont you think? I would be ever so grateful if you could post some letters on the website, of the new taverna & any of Psalidi in general, or if you could email them to me directly. Am counting down to june, cant wait to go 'home' again! Its great to find someone who is as fond of the Simos taverna as we were, so again, thanks so much for the info! Manda x

Hi Teresa! We stayed in the Aristo Apt the 1st time we went too! We booked a last minute deal off the teletext, all we knew was that we were going to Kos, no idea where abouts! We dreaded ending up in some 18-30's resort so needless to say when we got off a coach in the early hours in the middle off nowhere we thought we had gone to the other extreme! If it wasnt for Simos & the gang, I dont think we would have had had the holiday we did. We had such a fab time, we had only been back two days when we booked for the following year. This time because we wanted to be in Psalidi we booked thru the brochure & stayed in the Maritina Mare (we got a bit of a shock when we saw the real prices for Aristo! We had only paid approx £200 for a fortnight!) Maritina was very basic, but to be honest, as long as its clean & friendly that suits me, but it was a bit of a come down from Aristo! This year we are staying in the Paradise Beach hotel, I think, (my friend booked it), in Psalidi, hopefully staggering distance from Simos & gang! Do you know it? I'm glad that Psalidi hasnt altered too much, 8 years is a long time to be away. You didnt mention Alex or Miltos, are either of them still about? Thanks again for keeping me informed about things, I cant wait for June - best get on that diet, it'll be here before we know it! Many thanks, Manda x

Hi Teresa! Again! Sorry to keep bothering you! Just wondering when did Simos Taverna shut & Nikos open his? Might drop Simos & Felica a line after easter when they will be getting ready for the season. Do you think it will reach them ok if I sent it to Nikos Taverna? I will tell them I've been in touch with you too! Also, I was wondering, how old are your kids? In june I am going with my friend but later in the season I may try & squeeze a wk in with my little boy, Sam,  (he is on holiday with his dad in june) who will be 6 then. Obviously it will be a very different holiday with my son & I want to be sure there will be enough to keep him entertained at that age. The water park would be a hit with him, but anything else you could recommend? Many thanks! Manda
