How to go in Greece for the 5th time and becoming a thief for the first time…
I really want, and I am feeling obligated to share my unpleasant experience, my first one in Greece. I choose for my holiday in Greece, the beautiful Kazaviti town, Tsigoura hotel. The place looked in the pictures clean, traditional accommodation. , with a pool. I imagined the perfect holiday with my baby who was almost 8 months old, also with my wife, parents and my mother-in-law. But in the moment of our arrival end when I saw the hotel, I start to doubt a lot of things, my perspective changed immediately. The hotel was in a bad shape, the most of the things were broken, the hotel looked like is deteriorating. A bad feeling and disappointment I had to find something that seemed very pleasant in pictures on a beautiful site, but totally different in a bad way, the reality was very far away from what we expected. But everything became worse at the moment that I saw the rooms of the apartment where we would have stayed with the baby. When you see a room on a very structured site, not something fancy, you really do not think to find something unpleasant, something full of moulding, bathroom smelling like urine, furniture, it is modest to say old, of course that all of these information were not specified on the site or indicated from the owner. The surroundings of the hotel were also not taking care of and in bad shape. What I try to say is that he did not indicated or updated his site the bad accommodation that he offers. But it’s normal to judge the condition when you are selling something that in the reality does not exist. My whole family was shocked, I was shocked in the same time, my wife start crying, after a 12 hours road. I am very sorry that in that point, being shocked and stressed that I had only few hours left by the night to find other accommodation for my family. This was the top priority for us and nothing else mattered, and the main reason why I left, was because the conditions that Sokrates sold me they were not at all. So by going from door to find myself and my family an accommodation, I have found it on the other part of the island, at 9 o’clock in the evening, it was almost dark outside. After all of this, when I opened my internet on the phone, I have found received from Sokrates on my Facebook messenger the text bellow: ‘’ Igi if you didn't like the rooms or something like that the right thing was to come in the restaurant and discus it with me and find a solution. You could stay for the days that you paid but you preferred to leave like you are a thief because you know that you had to pay for the half days. You didn't appreciate that i made a better price for you, you didn't appreciate my friendship and you left without say anything. I am sorry for you Igi.I will give your car numbers and your name to all the hotels and i will give also your name and your car numbers to the police and to the harbour police. I am very sorry for booking rooms for you in my hotel because you are a man without honour. You are a thief my friend. I will wait until 6 o clock in the afternoon. If i have no response i go to police...YGY ,, Me a thief!!! With my 2 days payment in advance, I became a thief in Greece by running from his hotel. I am letting you, as a client to try to have your own conclusion about this situation. This is happening when you are being scammed by the person who is selling illusions to his possible future customers! As a final conclusion: I lost 2 days of my holiday, and also my family did, and 240 Euro that I had never asked back (50 Euro/day for the double room and 60 Euro/day for the apartment), an advance payment for being “ignorant, foolish and a thief”. You, the next possible client, withdraw the conclusion and think yourself very good before you choose your place for...

Tsigoura este un resort, nu doar un restaurant. Are 4 apartamente si 8 camere (toate mari), piscina si restaurant si se afla intr-o zona foarte pitoreasca, aproape de centrul insulei. Gazdele (o familie foarte, foarte de treaba) sunt mai mult decat amabile si pe toata durata sederii noastre au fost mereu la dispozitia noastra, orice mica problema a aparut - si au incercat si reusit sa ne faca sederea foarte placuta. Camerele, restaurantul si piscina sunt curate si mai racoroase decat cele de la malul marii, toata zona Kazaviti este superba, micul dejun (la noi, inclus in pret) este mai mult decat decent, mancarea din restaurant este foarte buna, iar preturile pentru cazare si mancare au fost cel putin rezonabile avand in vedere cat se ofera pentru acei bani. Doamna Violeta Vrana vorbeste cel putin limbile romana, greaca, engleza si rusa, le-am auzit pe toate si probabil ca acopera intreg spectrul de limbi folosite pe insula. Am stat (patru persoane) 13 nopti (deci am avut timp sa imi formez o parere) si daca vom mai merge in Thassos vom reveni tot aici.

Tsigoura is a resort - not only a restaurant. It has 4 apartments and 8 rooms (all large), a swimming pool and a restaurant and it is located in a very picturesque area, close to the center of the island. The hosts (a very, very nice family) are more than kind and during our entire stay they were always at our disposal for any small problem which arose, and tried and succeeded to make our stay very pleasant. The rooms, the restaurant and the pool are clean and cooler than those on the seashore, the whole area of Kazaviti is gorgeous, the breakfast (in our case it was included in the price) is more than decent, the food in the restaurant is very good and the prices for the accommodation and for the food were reasonable to say the least, considering how much is offered for that money. Mrs. Violeta Vrana speaks Romanian, Greek, English and Russian and perhaps more languages, but these four I can confirm. So she knows at least a common language with any tourist. We (four people) stayed there for 13 nights (so I had enough time to form an opinion) and if we'll go to Thassos again we will...
