SELF CATERING
Linen is changed around once a week if you start complaining, ask yourselves, how often do you change your linen at home? I bet it is definately not more than once a week.
You can virtually guarantee that there will be no air conditioning, therfore you will have to hire a fan and yes this will come at an extra cost. In most accomodation you can hire one at the reception / pool bar but plenty of places around town can sort you out, these are usualy cheaper - remember, if you are asking for anything out of the norm, ie longer rental, then make sure that you barter! Some apartments don't like you using other peoples fans as you are still using their expensive electricity! If you're on a budget open the balcony window and any door / window on the other side of the room to bring a breeze through. You cheapskate!
Remember that you are going 'SELF CATERING' this means that you have to cater for yourself, so don't complain if you run out of toilet roll - always pack one! Always. Full stop!
In Greece, water is heated by solar power, if it is cloudy or first thing in the morning, the water will be cold, doesn't take a genius does it?
If it is your first time in Kardamena then make sure that you attend your welcome meeting, your rep tends to know in advance of any flight delays, issues with the accomodation etc. They will always try to sell you some tours - they are on commission. If you are in Kardamena and carrying plenty of readies than throw a bit of business their way, most of them first came to the island as tourists and then decided to stay on.
Your cleaner, is, surprise surprise, a cleaner, not an industrial sanitiser! She will generaly sweep up, empty your ashtray, change your linen and clean up around you even if you are asleep. She will report back any damages and breakages, thinking about it, she's probably on commission too.
Expect nothing more than basic. If you read through the reports about the accomodation in Kardamena the one word that crops up most is 'BASIC'! Kardamenas income is 87% due to the tourist industry. The philosophy is simple: Get them in, get them excited, get them to spend all their cash and then see you next year! Your job is to make sure that you have a good time in the middle of all that.
BED & BREAKFAST
Literally that's all your going to get. Really! Yes, not even a fridge! Expect continental style breakfast of sweaty processed cheese, ham perspiring to the same degree, bread and packet jam / butter. Are you really going to be up for 9:30 for this gastronomic fanfare? Didn't think so!
If you are determined to get your Euros worth then fill up! The good thing about this type of breakfast is that you can fill up until teatime. Amuse yourself while watching chav and chavette shoving rock hard bread rolls under her sarong or down his shorts for secret consumption later in their apartment.
Every B&B has a bar serving food, waiting for the bleary eyed late riser. Pouncing like Greek spider upon Greek goats back, sapping the Euros from their battered wallet. Expect cullinary delights like Le pain du fromage et ham toastie, which, blessed by the work of God, cures any Starlight induced headache.
Buy what you can at the local supermarkets. The bottles of water behind the bar will cost you a little more than usual, though you pay for convenience.
