Faliraki on the whole has changed alot since 95 :(
I was a rep on the island in the mid 90s and Faliraki was a fantastic place for a cheap night out. Unfortunately as it's reputation's built up so have the prices and it's not a cheap place to drink anymore. Add to that the fact that all that negative press caused alot of operators to drop Faliraki and you've got a very different resort to the fun, frantic, party resort that we remember! :(

I am going to Falaraki in August and staying at the Ano Cambos apartments, these are about 20min walk from Falariki main town (so i have been told) I cannot find any information online on these apartments, all i know is what I have read in the Kosmar brochure.

Has anyone stayed here or have any information on them?

Any information would be excellent!

Thanks xx :kiss

:( Hi
I went to the Ano cambos aptartments in June 1995, and it was the best holiday I've ever had, but things have changed since then,I went back to the same ones two years ago and it had changed beyond belief, in my opinion, it was ruined. The only good thing that remained was that
Peter was still there, also be expected to either use a taxi to get into Faliraki, as it's a good half hour walk from the centre.

how had it changed?

Oh no... im worried now! :oops: I've heard it quite a walk into the town, but i don't surpose a cab would cost alot? Is there bars n stuff along the walk to the town?

:) hi, well it depends which way you go, you can turn left out of the apartments towards the Atalanti hotel , then left down the track, which brings you to the outskirts of Faliraki and numerous bars towards the centre, or you can walk down the main road and turn right towards the centre, passing safeway, I'd say turning rith would be the best option.
back in 1995, the Atalanti was worth having a drink in,
but it was deserted in 2003

Hi Clare lou, didn't see that part of the question, but the way it had changed was that people no longer sat out till the small hours having many beers and getting to know other guests, as that area has since been built over, i was lucky back in 95, as we had a great crowd who were staying there for the full two weeks, you could sit up all night talking and drinking, like i say the best holiday I've ever had,
Ona plus side when i went back in 2003 there was now a swimming pool, but importantly, the area where everybody used to sit out had gone, also when i went , Ano cambos was deserted. I guess it's my own fault because it's said never go back, you'll only be disappointed, and in my case that's true, but you could still have a great time. :)

Hey...

Thanks alot for all the information, im really quite anxious now to get there and find out what its like!

You said there is now a pool there, is this a reasonable size? Also, what are the apartments like? I spose i shouldnt really be too bothered about the place, you only sleep there and if its no good, you know never to return!! :roll:
