Theo Soula Apartments : (Apartments in Alykes)

7/10

My wife and I have just returned from a 2 week holiday at the Soula apts and had a really good holiday, the weather was amazing for the whole 2 weeks. The apts are basic, 2 ring hob, toaster, kettle and fridge but are perfect as a base for your holiday. Alykes is a 15-20 min walk where you will find the beach along with various shops and restaurants, we found Relax, right on the crossroads in Alykes to be very good, most of the restaurants average about 6 euro for a main meal. One problem we found was the prices on the complex, the pool bar isn't cheap by any stretch of the imagination and you will find the on site supermarket more expensive than the surrounding shops. If you know you can get food and drink cheaper by taking a short  walk then you're going to do it, we, and many other guests we spoke to, would have really liked to have stayed around the pool and have a snack but 2.90 euro for a portion of frozen chips!!, just under 7 euro for burger and chips, unbelievable !!, the pool bar has a long menu so if you plan to eat there take plenty of money because it's more expensive the the UK. It's 2.50 for a myhtos (a bottle of greek beer) when everywhere else charges 2 euro, nip to the supermarkets, buy your mythos for around 90 cents and put it in the fridge for a few hours, a big saving , you'll have to drink these on your balcony though because all food and drink around the pool must be bought from the pool bar!!. We hired a scooter and took a trip upto the blue caves, 6 euro for a boat trip that takes you right into the caves and lets you have a 10-15 min swim, well recommended. We also did the shipwreck at a later date, 8 of us went and managed to get it for 11 euro each, the beach is all shingle so take something to put on your feet. At the end of the holiday we didn't want to come home and would probably go back, as long as you realise that Alykes is designed totally for the tourist then you'll have a great time.
