I work 40 feet from George, and I could see his eyes light up at the mention of Morven. If you guys keep this up it will be like having a Belisha beacon in the corner of the office.

Just returned from 2 weeks at Kostas Chrysoulla and for the first time in 5 consecutive years of staying there had a bad time, at least initially, with the accomodation.  On arrival assigned room 67 which has to go down as the worst room i've ever encountered.  The first thing I had to do was clean the toilet, shower and basin, the bathroom window had 2 panes of glass missing and all surfaces had a film of dust.  The shower had no means of attaching it to the wall and the shower head was held together with masking tape.  I wasn't chuffed with it but thought I'd stick it out until the next day and have a word with Morven.  I soon changed my mind when I closed the bathroom door behind me and found myself trapped in the bathroom for 20 minutes. Went and complained to Kostas and was moved to a room in the block over the wall behind the swimming pool.  The room itself was fine, but the door didn't fit and just banged all night in the strong winds.  So after a sleepness night finally got moved into room 7 in Zorbas above the jewellery shop.  Great room, big balcony and a great sea view.  Could get a bit noisy out the front but that was no big deal, it makes a change to be able to watch the village go by of an evening.

One final point.  Am I possibly the only person who actually enjoyed their stay in the 'broom cupboard'?  Had the room last year and though it was great.  Huge room, cool, quiet and a shaded balcony which felt like you were looking out onto your own private courtyard garden.  Shame it gets such a bad press on the board.

Hello David,

I assume you mean No. 56. Someone else mentioned that the room itself was above average.

For me, it would need to be. I climbed on to the balcony last year to see the view first hand and it's dire.

Still, each to his own. Many opinions get expressed on this forum.

I certainly would have been most unhappy to have received the treatment you did at KC.

Mike

I am looking at next years holiday, and was wondering about this accommodation.

Are any of them 2 room apartments, so that my wife & I can have the bedroom, and my 2 children can sleep in the lounge/kitchen or whatever you want to call it?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I can confirm that they have exactly what you want at Kostas Chryssoula. We stayed there the first two weeks of July. We had booked through Neckermann. The apparment we had was actually called "Christina appartments", but they belong to the Kostas Chryssoula family. We had a room to ourselves, with balcony and bathroom and then a second very large room with a small kitchen in it and 2 single beds for our kids + a balcony. It was all very large and very clean. I do not know whether there are more such rooms in the other buildings (there are 5 different buildings), but I think there are ...

hi lesley ann - not sure what to tell you eveything is pretty basic but still has everything you need, its a nice wee friendly place. buffet breakfast if your up in time - pool bar is there for drinks and snacks all day. the pool is always clean as are the rooms - no one really bothers you. the rooms are either ground level or first floor, nothing higher. and the owners (2 kostas's) are friendly and speak great english. if you think of anything that you need too know let me know


on another note i'm coming out in sympathy with mike - the newcastle flight with olympic has now changed its departure time 3 times. i've gave up. its now meant to be 9am but i'm not holding my breath - bet it changes again


Hi Sheryl. My wife and I are thinking of going to Crete for the first time in October and would like to know if you have any knowledge about Kostas-chrysoullas apartments, I have seen their own website but it doesn't say how close to the naturist beach it is. I would be very grateful for any information you might be able to give us.
 
With thanks
