| Caught up with this now Yozef.
What do you know of Laganas? Hotel Louis Zante Beach?
Been doing more research of Kefalonia and Skala looks up my street? |

| well to be honest wirral i don't think it would be your cup of tea at all,though we have never stayed at the hotel we have stayed in lagana(out of season) and it's not a very pretty place,very popular with drunken teens who leave the streets full of vomit and debris,sorry if that sounds harsh but imo it's a bit messy/noisey.
we have walked past the hotel(it's right on the beach) many,many times and it looks fine,but i don't think you would be happy with the location,at the start of lagana.you are nearby to a small river/stream and this area of the beach can be a bit dirty.
you would have a 10 minute walk into lagana for a night out or a 20 minute walk to kalamaki,this by a busy main road as certain times of the year the beach is closed at 7pm-ish due to the loggerhead turtles nesting there.
we have never stayed a/i in greece so can't comment on it,we go b&B OR s/c as we adore greek food,we did stay h/b once and it was superb but they have now gone a/i so that may have gone downhill.
sorry if i've not been much help here but i honestly think you would be better off else where.
if you ever fancy kalamaki 2 of the top rated hotels are the roseland,and i think even more highly rated is the venus,we prefer the quiter location of the rosland.
if can help more feel free to ask ok ws |

| On the contrary Y you told me what I wanted to hear-the truth.As you know I don't get involved with bullsh*t.And I was already beginning to think Laganas wasn't for us.Thanks for being outspoken.I have made a decision and have now booked for Skala in Kefalonia in May 2012.TA reviews of the hotel have been tops and I have booked a Thomson package.This is indeed a momentous day for Greece.The much-travelled WirralScouse has booked and paid deposit for his first holiday there at the age of 67! I haven't told Er Indoors yet! |

| well done wirral,i hope you love greece as much as we do.
kefalonia is a place we have always wanted to try so will look forward to your reviews.
i believe they filmed "captain correlli's mandolin) with nicholas cage here,the scenery looks stunning,ideal for hikers.
btw johanna lumney's tv prog (on now) features corfu tonight. |

| I won't be so brave with that beeech.However I have many months during which to choose my moment! But she has been to Kefalonia before in a former life and I haven't.But so far only £350 deposit paid is at risk.The online Thomson discount covered the extra cost of flight legroom seats and upgraded SV room.I am confident with my choice of H Tesoro Blu in Skala.I didn't have the bo##ocks to book 2 weeks which is what I would like as I know MrsWS wouldn't want to be away for longer than a week.I am learning.It takes a lot of readjustment after living solo for so many years when I could do exactly as I please. |
