The Christina was ok at the start but over the week we were there a few problems presented themselves;
1. the rooms were only cleaned twice during our 7 day stay, and that includes the bin by the toilet - so that was a bit manky
2. the owners do NOT speak ANY English - i mean none nada not a hi hello or a goodbye. if you want to speak to anyone (assuming you don't speak Greek) you have to go down to the Horizon Bar (great food) and speak to their son (who might own the place). this obviously presents a problem when asking for the room to be cleaned or anything to fixed.
3. you get kicked out at 11 with no where to put your stuff or have a shower later on, this is a problem since most Manos flights don't leave until 3 in the morning
-and most ANNOYING of all-
4. The Beds, yes that’s plural, cos the beds are singles, not exactly what me and my girlfriend had in mind ;) the beds are of a sort of cot construction in that the mattress (which is hard) is surrounded by a wooden edge about 4cm wide, this means that even when pushed together you get a 8cm solid wood gap, which is about as comfortable as a breeze block.

In conclusion its ok if you want to rough it but not quite up to scratch if you want to relax and get on with things, oh and its next to a building site.

We had a look in the Illios and Irene apartments which are 150m from the Christina, this place is the same price as the Christina but has a bar, tv, internet, etc.. and is staffed by 3 full time very friendly English speaking people. if we go again I’d chose the I&I over Christina.

We didn't actually stay here but ended up discovering the place on our very last night (the one where the Manos forgot about us and only got us to the airport by cab with 30mins to spare). I say discovered we walked past it every day but never went in assuming it was the same as the Christina (where we stayed - see my review) while the Christina had no communal facilities the I&I has a bar sat TV internet etc and 3 very friendly English speaking staff.

The brothers that manage it, Angelo & Costas were really great when our coach never turned up to take us to the airport, guys if you're reading this Marie and I are really grateful.

They even stayed up to meet their new arrivals, we didn't meet our hosts for 2 days!

Hi

Hope you see this in time, the biulding work is the biulding of a simalar sized block of apartments, when we were there there was not much work being done at all, but i spoiled our view as we looked straight on to it, I'd be more worried about the beds

hope that helps, enjoys your hols
