We visited San Stefanos last year but after stumbling across Arillas by accident one day and falling in love with the place, we are thinking of returning there this Sept. Any info on the Akti hotel would be gratefully received. Our visit would only be for a week as we are off to Kefalonia in June as main holiday. Cheers Pauline [/list][/code]
Hello Pauline,
I've not stayed in the Akti Hotel, but here is their website for you to have a gander at. :D

San Stefanos is nice...but Arillas is much better. :wink:
I have never stayed at the Akti but my main concern would be the noise. It's right on the road and also opposite the Malibu Bar which can get a bit lively. Looking at prices this year, it also looks very coslty for what it is, although you do get breakfast....not sure about evening meal.

About 3 lines up from the bottom of page 1 of these "Accomadation Reviews" you will find some useful info on the Akti. It's worth a read before booking.

Thankyou for your replies. I have found a really good deal on internet so might just go for it and book the Akti. The noise is a concern but I am going to request a room at the back and take some ear plugs!!!!!!!!. Thanks again Pauline
If you drink some Ouzo and a bottle of wine you wont notice the noise!
Well I have booked it! Decided it was such a good deal we could not miss it. Yep we may have to participate in a little grape juice but hey I can always dose in the sun if I dont get much sleep. Hope we will get to see some of you all there Pauline.
Hi Pauline,
You'll have a great time I'm sure, just email the Akti direct before you go and request a room away from the noise. I don't think it will be that bad in September anyway!
Happy June holiday in Kefalonia. :D
Eileen.
Thanks Eileen
Good idea I will e mail them a couple of weeks before we go. Can not wait to explore Arillas fully as we only visited from neighbouring San Stef. However we were really impressed.
Cheers Pauline
ooh! just noticed! I've got a silver medal. Never had a medal before!!
Congrats Blondie you deserve it! Now you have an excuse to open a bottle of wine tonight! :wink:
no worries about that! never need an excuse for that.. :wink:
Blondegirl, have you noticed you now have a gold medal :D :D :D
I WANT A MEDAL !!! :evil:
I'll be writing everyday now til I get at least a bronze :idea:
Well, would you believe it! No, I didnt notice it... just creeps up on you eh! That's why I'm not in the Olympics! What happens after Gold then?
Oh just remembered - I did get Gold Membership to Weight Watchers once... a long time ago! :lol: That medal is a bit rusty now tho.
Hi.
id 100% u go to akti. it gr8. the people are so welcoming ur made to feel at home. the whole family really make an effort to get to know u. ive been to this hotel 6 times in 2 years and would go again any day over any of the other hotels. close to the beach and the noise really isnt a prob, altho if u do av a prob with it they will move u to a room at the back which still as a sea veiw. the food ther is amazin. if u contact the hotel direct other than through thomas cook u can stay there half board.

Hi Kismet.
Cheers for that u have really put my mind at ease. We were a bit worried regarding the noise but do plan to e mail them direct before we go to request room at back.
Thanks again Pauline x
My wife & I stayed at the Akti last year & would recommend it to anyone. The hotel is spotless & the evening meals are as good as you'll get anywhere else. The owner, Stamatis is a wonderful warm and friendly man & his son Spiro couldn't be more helpful if he tried. Hope you have a good time !!
Going to be staying in the Atki next week July 7-14... I'll give it a gander and post some recent info after :) I'm sure it's wonderful though.
7 more days to go!!!
