Katerina Apartments

(Apartments in Vassilikos)

Can U Help?

I've booked a week on my own at Katerina studios in Vassilikos with Direct Holidays from 4 Oct 2009.

I stayed in Vassilikos in 2003 and had a very nice holiday in Olga Studios. I used to visit the Marina bar and pool. Any comments greatly appreciated from anyone who's just been staying there (hopefully not bad ones!). Hope the weather's not too bad in October and the village hasn't deteriorated in any way. I will be relying on public transport and maybe the organised trip or two. Looking forward to meeting some nice people when I'm there . For some reason, a lot of people are suspicious of ladies who holiday on their own, even though I'm sociable and don't make a nuisance of myself! Julia

Information required. We have booked thru direct greece to go to these apartments in Aug09. Looking at the internet, there is a site for the Katerina Studios & apartments in Porto Roma Vassilikos, but the accommodation buildings are different. The blocks are pink and terracota and they don't mention a pool. Is this the same place? The pictures on direct greece show a while apartment block with the pool & theMarina bar. Is this the same place or it it different?

It seems a bit confusing? Just wondered if anyone could clarify what was what? Would be grateful for any information anyone can give.

well thanks for all your opinion's of me and my dad. but i still say that holiday was crap and appartments where even worse than that.

if you like a half star hotel this is the one for you. We only stay in up to 3 star hotels/ appartments and this one was worse than one in morocco. which is in the 3rd world. I think i have said enuf. Good luck and all the best to you all.

P.S get out before the hotel falls down. with that biggggg crack all the way up it.

Hi Will, that wonderful rep was Jenny Cassidy and she was the best rep I ever had anywhere. She went the extra mile all the time. I'm sure you'll still love it there.I hate places like Laganas as well. Janet has written that everything is still ok in Paradise. Regards Denise

Do not despair, Kostas and co were very friendly and helpful. Having just returned from the Katerina, we have had a great holiday and this is on our list of possible future returns. Enjoy!

Hi Denise

Thank you for your prompt response. Loved reading your posts too. I must admit, I was sad to hear Joanna and Yannis (John) have moved on but more concerned with so many negative comments. Admitedly, most of these were made by people that seem very reliant on the rep and typically they're not that good anywhere really. That said there was an excellent rep who I believe lives on the island so standards were always going to be hard to maintain when she moved on. I am puzzled that I booked through girect greece again but from notes on here it looks as though the rep or ownership is now Tompson??

I've also really talked this place up with my partner so hope it still meets my expectations as this will be her first time here.

In summary, I'm a little apprehensive but I am independant and always explore the island/town etc wherever I stay so, assuming I can still rent a relaible car, I will again enjoy the beauty of this area and the rest of the island. I'll also sit back, pick up a book and enjoy the rest - but I will make a point of raising a glass of Matheus to dear John Smith. For he is the reason I avoid the 'laganas' of the world.

Happy posting

Will

I love this place and so want to go back but having problem identifying the apartments. I need to know the number of the one on the top floor in the middle (the one that steps out) with pool view. Stayed in it before and have a nostalgic reason for needing to go back to that same apartment. Any help? Thanks Will

H Janet,there are no safety deposit boxes at the Katerina but quite honestly it is crime free there. You can change travellers cheques and money at the Marina bar,which is next to the Katerina. Also just 5 minutes away on the main road are several supermarkets which exchange as well. We usually used the deli next to the coffee house. Have a great time. Denise

Please help as Direct Greece seem unable to answer any query. Are safety deposit boxes available at the Katerina? How close are the money exchange facilities?
