  Hi, Jen and I came back for our fourth visit to Lourdas in August. We absolutely love soming back and seeing Kostas and the family again. It really is like a home from home and it's great to see all those familiar faces again. Things have changed, with Kostas spending his evenings at his fantastic restaurant, 'Andromeda', and Elias and Theresa no longer behind the pool bar. However, it is still a excellent place to stay and your are always made so welcome. Jem and I did miss Elias and Theresa, but loved seeing Patrick and Alex. We can't wait to come back and visit next summer, for our girly holiday! This time, we hope to make it 2 weeks!!!! Yes definately, book direct if you can't get a room with Komsar. Even though the flights seem expensive, it all adds up to about the same anyway.
See you next year!!!!
Helen & Jen

| Couldn't stay at the Eleni this year as it is only available through Kosmar and all rooms were taken on the dates we wanted. However I visited Kostas at his new restaurant Andromeda which is excellent. The food is in a different class to the usual fare. Cannot fault the place and very reasonable too.
We spoke to Kostas about availability at the Eleni. He told me that his Kosmar allocation was sold out very quickly. Unfortuantely his other rooms are often empty as no other tour operator will take an option on them. He suggested flight only and book rooms direct with him via his webiste.
Try and make an effort to visit the restaurant at least once during your visit. The guy is making a real effort and deserves support. | |

 : We have stayed at the Eleni twice but this year unfortuantely we were unable to get in the weeks we wanted., However things have changed a little there. Theresa has left and Kostas has opened his new restaurant. I am not sure if the pool bar is up and running properly as Kostas is having to find someone to manage it for him. He is still around though with his funny jokes and comments during the day. We visited him every night at his new restaurant which is only about 10 minutes from the Eleni. The restaurant is called 'Andromeda' Centre and is located on the small road leading off the main road at the corner of Spiros Taverna. Go there - it is absolutely beautiful, the food to die for and the view magnificant!!
He is still his wonderful self with lots to say and joke about!! Alex is busy looking after Patrick who is gorgeous and the spit of kostas! Greeting to all the friends we have made there - of course Kostas still insists on calling us Mr. & Mrs. Robinson!!! We wish him all the luck in the world with his restaurant - the other tavenas will have to 'up' their standards!!!We are from the UK not germany! | |

Hi Ann - I hope you and Ray are keeping well - it's a pity we will probably miss each other although we may bump into you at the airport - we are scheduled to leave about 1pm on the Sunday afternoon.
Both Susan and I are keeping well and are looking forward to the hols on 1 July - yes Simon is coming with us - he was 16 on Easter Monday and you would not recognise him now - he like last year will be sharing a room with his friend - last year we had room 11 and they had room 12 - Simon ended up serving behind the bar one evening whilst Ilias watched dvd's (Kostas knows about it).
The new restaurant will be open by the time we get there - it looks great with a beautiful 'view' over Lourdas beach - at least in the early evening. Have you seen Patrick ? if not e mail me if you have changed your e mail address - I'll send the photos anyway.
Take care
Best wishes
Fred

You may find Lourdata - the beach is called Lourdas - a little on the quiet side,however the people are very friendly and the views are really superb. Where are you staying - the Eleni is one of the really good places to stay as it has its own pool and food is available,also supermarkets are only a 10 minute walk away although you either have to climb the hill going (on the main road) or coming back (eg Maria's). The only downside to the Eleni is the trek to the beach - or rather the climb back up the hill from it - if you are a beach lover. Car hire is recommended - not just for the beach but to get around the island and see other really good places - monastery at St Gerassimos,Assos,Xi beach,Petani beach,Sami and Aghia Efimia, Skala,Mellisani Lake,Myrtos beach etc.In Lourdata - the main restaurants are up the hill towards Vlachata -m there are a few places to eat and Muses bar which serves food as well as drinks and has Sky TV if you need to watch sports,or just chill out in the evenings with the smell of Jasmine all around.
You will love it and you will return. | |

We happened on Eleni simply from a brochure and were delighted with what we found. Apart from modern clean apartment with excellent pool, the level of hospitality was second to none. Kostas and his team could not be more helpful and Kostas is a superb chef. Our thanks to all at Eleni who made our holiday so good. | ||||||||||
