I thought i would share my experience of going to Greece, Kardamena - Kos.

Well I went there quite a few years back i think it was 2005. Its an excellent location for those who want to chill-out and go out either every night or the odd one or two days. The supermarket aint too far jst one min walk, bottles of waters are cheap as ever! 50cent for a large bottle of water!!, the beach also is not too far which i wud say about 5minutes or so walk.

The hotel

I stayed at the elga hotel for 2 weeks an which is I think a 2 star hotel but fook for a 2 star hotel its excellent!. Depending on what floor you are booked in for, especially if you get the front there is a balcony and you get an amazing view!. They have 2 swimming pools there, a bar and pool table. There is the lobby where you can sit off and watch tv like so thats a gd place to sit an chill.

One night tho we were up at the top balcony wer any one can come up, this london lad pops up (random lad, doesnt stay at the hotel) looks down waves to his mates then sez to me "your Avin-it (having it)larrrrge m8" goes down sets the fire alarm off comes up wiv the staff and blames it all on me!!! i was like wtf!!, he ended up getting charged 30 euro's i think and i got a free shot! not bad for Avin-it(having it) larrrrrge.

The nightlife

The nightlife is extreme! haha, loved every moment of it, its basically free entry but u'll have to walk around about 2pm onwards around the centre square where you will find PR's which hand out free tickets which they will write down the number of ppl who are gona go (we managed to get them to write down 50 people haha when there were only 13 of us)

The best nightclub near the hotel must got to be "Starlight" its a great place an you can do shout outs haha!!, i went to a foam party there aswel! cant beat it.

Well basically i jst went out every nite, stayed till 6am once an just didnt have the energy to move.

The Bars and Restuarants

There are lots of bars there but i cant really remember much, one restuarant was mad after having our dinner the staff got every one of us up on the tables to dance we just basically had a laugh an thought we wud keep dance till the tables break. we didnt manage to break the tables but the table started wobbling really bad lool. There was a Restuarant called Nemo's! haha that was busy as hell, it was alrite there tho.

There is a bar that you can play pro evo, they wud have competitions where you wud put couple of euro's in and you will then be entered into the competition. The winner takes one whole crate of beer!. I think its one whole crate anyways and guess what a mate of mine won all hahahah

Escapades Reps (ey ey bet some of you heard that name before )

Never go near them, they try to rip you off big time! One of them thinks they are scotty too hotty

Wud definately go back!

Great Review Pomp
Someone who's on there way there for holidays will appreciate it

Would you say it was expensive when you were there?
In comparison to the UK

Erm not really, was quite cheap actually. I went with about £300 for 2 weeks and came back with about £50 to spend lol, i was watchin wot i was spendin tho but guess i cuda spend alot more than i did lol. I dont really spend alot tho but jst enough to get me through the day lol, I did go out alot tho an mainly a bottle or two each day so it aint tha bad. We did win a whole crate of beer from the pro evo competition so that kind of saved us abit of money lol

We got to know this family who runs a bar called "gregs" and they kept giving us free bottles of water even wen i insisted on giving them the money!. Was gd that we kept comin back ther, we even tried to be PR's (Public Relations) ourselfs for free we managed to get couple of lads to the bar to order an we got a free fish bowl
