Hi I am thinking of going to the Lesse Studios in Hanioti, Halkidiki in August 06. There will be 4 of us going for 2 weeks (2 couples aged 23 & 25 and 20 & 25). Found this hotel in the First Choice brochure but have been unable to find another company who use this hotel. Not that we have a problem with First Choice just want to make sure we get the best deal. Also wondering if the hotel have their own website? Have read very good reviews about this hotel so far.
I wonder if the resort will be best suited for us all. We need somewhere where its not too British (resorts like Magaluf are a complete no no) and somewhere where there will be plenty for us to do during the day, watersports, excursions etc and somewhere with a reasonable nightlife, maybe one or two nightclubs.
Any info would be greatly appreicated. Websites with pictures of the hotel would be ideal.
Many Thanks
We went to Pefkahori many years ago and walked the beach road to Hanioti and found it to be a lovely place but this was in the 80's a fairly long journey from the airport but if things are reasonably the saame think it should be ok for your age group.

Just returned last week from Hanioti. Had a walk into the Lesse.
B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l !!!! The grounds and pool area are lovely. They are set off the main road, many apartments are sea facing. 5 mins walk to beach, clear water, water sports, beach bars etc. 10-15 min walk to main square in Hanioti where everything centres around. 20 minute walk along beach road will also take you to Pefkohori, which has a different character from Hanioti as most restaurants and bars are located along the beach promenade. Although the pool was quiet, everyone I spoke to said the accomodation was great. It carries 4 star rating. I would definatly book the Lesse.

KT,
I went to Hanioti earlier this year with my girlfriend (I'm 30 shes 24) and we passed The Lesse in a taxi on the way to Pefkohori. As Jade states the pool area and grounds looked lovely. The only reservation I would have about booking this accomodation is that it is a bit too far out of the resort for my liking. I prefer to be a bit closer to everything. Its set off the main road that runs all along the coast and there isn't really anything around it.
As for Hanioti its a really nice place certainly nothing like Magaluf, Laganas and other 18-30 style resorts. There are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from. We particularly liked Anatol (Italian), Prime (good traditional greek dishes) and The Garden for food and Sunshine Bar, Kelfos and Long Island for drinks. Even though the resort tended to have plenty of people buzzing about we found the bars and pubs to be quite relaxed and not as lively as we had hoped. This may be different in August - we went in June. We only saw one nightclub situated on the edge of the resort but didn't bother going in so I can't comment on this.
There is a large choice of excursions - we only went on one to Petrolona Caves which was okay but not as good as we expected - and there are plenty of wartersports on the beach (be aware the beach is shingle and not soft sand as it appears in the brochures) so you should have enough stuff to keep you busy during the day. Taxis to Pefkohori and Polychrono are only 5 euros if you fancy a change of scenery.
Hope this has been helpful!
