Wondering if the "supermarkets" in Tingaki are any good?
can we get shampoo, conditioner etc and other general toiletries? And what sort of prices?
I want to avoid taking any more than i have too!

Thanks

Hi Littlemissmagic,
I haven't been to Tingaki for about 6 years but at that time there was a really big Supermarket there. More like a small Hypermarket to be honest. It sold anything and everything. I hope you'll get a reply from someone who's been there more recently.

Thanks Shirley - that is great.

Hi,
Has anyone stayed here? i have read that the swimming pool at Angela isn't that good - a bit on the small side.
Are there any other pools near by that are nicer, that we could use?

Thanks

hi little miss magic, we haven't stayed at the angela but the pool is right beside the road and is very small, don't know if you can use any other pool as where we stay it's residents only.

We done the Zia trip and combined with a Greek night out as well, fab time and Zia is so nice to look at. We have also done the Nysoros trip and that is well worth a visit.
Also done the day trip to Bodrum, weather was dreadful and crossing was terrible, but the weather cleared up and we had a great day in Bodrum.
Enjoy!!!

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Yes, I have seem the report Wizard thank you - that is why i am a bit conerned!

Thanks again

Any families visited kos this summer (resorts Tingkai / Kefalou) Any info on resorts as to if any good for children up to age of 13, much to do ??? Is there a waterpark in Kos??

Has anybody used Theokritos Travel in Tingaki? Would you recommend them?
Good trips? Good prices?

Thanks

Just managed to return from Kos this morning.Flew out with XL last Saturday night.After I heard the news I considered all my options.Fly Aegean airlines to Athens/Athens UK.Catch ferry to Rhodes fly Easyjet /London.But a chance call in to Kos airport,I learned of a Monarch/EuroAtlantic flight being laid on as replacement return back to UK.Cant fault the logistics The flight was only 3hrs later than original.
Feel sorry for people who might not be so lucky.

My partner & I have just returned back from Kos 18/9 and really loved it. We stayed just outside Kos Town by Lambi Beach at the Pelagos Aparthotel. We hired bikes for the week and enjoyed cycling to Therma and Tingaki and cycled into Kos Town every evening it was great I recommend it. I also recommend a visit to Zia to see the amazing sunsets, a visit to Nisyros and the 3 island Cruise. We had fantastic weather around 30 degrees each day. All in All a brilliant holiday

Had a holiday to Kos last month staying at the Continental Palace Hotel just outside Kos Town.
Lovely hotel, good food, very clean with superb staff who were very helpful considering we had a baby of 9 weeks and a toddler of 14 months.
The pool and area was excellent with plenty of sunbeds under shady trees for those that just wanted to sit and read.

The only minus I would say was the extremely high prices charged for drinks in the hotel. £2.70 for a 1L bottle of water at dinner and £20 for a round of mostly soft drinks at the bar is just a blatant rip-off of customers.
We used to walk 1 minute down the road during the day and buy our drinks from a shop which would charge the same for 7 drinks that the hotel would want for 1.
Also on the last day we faced checking out at 10am but didn't have a return flight until 2am the following morning. We occupied ourselves just fine for the day round the pool and in the evening four of us went into the bar to watch a football match.
We bought four drinks but made them last virtually the whole match.
Cue the hotel manager who arrived in the bar and started having a go at the staff obviously because we had sat there for 90 minutes with the same drinks. The staff gave this pig of a man as good as they got to our defence.
In the end this idiot stomped out of the bar after stirring up all this trouble.
What he doesn't realise is that IF the prices in the hotel were lower his bar would actually be full which would further attract more people because of the atmosphere.
Four of us in an empty bar says it all really.
Anyways, first trip to Kos and we'd go again though not to the Continental unless they reviewed their pricing policy on inhotel drinks.

That was our flight back from Kos as well.
The airport was a complete shambles don't you think; Ten times more people than the airport can comfortably handle, nowhere to buy drinks/food etc.

hi all

i'm going to Kos in October, hope the weather will be good :-) we are thinking of going to bodrum market for the day, is it worth it? some people have said that prices in turkey has increased so much now and its difficult to get a bargain in turkey now, if any of you have been recently and could give me some feedback on this i'd be grateful

thanks

If you go to the top of the topics column you will see the Topic Kos Q & A. If you go to page 7 I have written a piece about going to Bodrum Market. Having just returned from a holiday in Turkey(Hisaronu), yes, prices have gone up but it all depends how hard you want to haggle, there are still bargains to be had, even moreso now, as it is coming up to the end of the season. The dealers are going to want to get rid of their stock to make way for the new for the 2009 campaign.

I stayed in Mastihari many years ago and it was a nice, small resort. What is it like now? I know places sometimes change a lot over the years but I haven't heard much about Mastihari.

love it, we stay at panorama apts, we book direct via the owners at the tasty palace

lovely place
