Lissipio Complex

Room was very, very basic!!! No air conditioning, but this didn't make much difference to us as we were fairly sheltered from the sun. However, as we only used the room for sleeping it was fine.
Paleo itself was nice, but the complex was quite a walk away from the main bars and clubs. There also isn't a foot path, which is fun!!
Very well situated for food, best we found was miltados (or something like that) corner. Family run restaurant with the most friendly man in the world bar none!
Would recommend if you wanted a quiet holiday! And a word of warning...... don't climb up to the castle, if a tour guide says that it only takes an hour each way, they lied!!

We booked a budget family holiday for 6, four generations of us, ranging from age 8 to 72. Reading through most reviews we also wondered what we were letting our selves in for, we did feel a little better however, reading the review from the couple who went in June 2005, just before us.
On arrival, we found our apartments to be right at one end of Paleo, about a mile and a half from the main part. Paleo seems to be all along one winding road, much of which does not have a footpath, so be careful when walking around.
The apartments were basic, nothing to write home about, (typical of Greece apparently), but it was a place for sleeping and that’s all we expected really. The real strength of the place for us was the pool and pool bar. They were lovely; the staff were brilliant and really friendly. They loved the kids, and the pool was always clean and tidy. If you want a lazy week around a quiet pool then this could be what you're looking for! Daytime snacks/breakfasts were nice, but be prepared to wait if you order several things or they have a few customers.
Eating out was also very nice. There are 3 main tavernas within easy walking distance and were all reasonably priced. They all served a good selection of Greek food and whilst they are obviously there to cater for tourists, it did feel quite authentic. Two of them held regular Greek nights which were fun.
Getting around: If you don’t mind walking this is probably your best option! It cost around 6 euros in a taxi to get to Paleo centre, which isn’t bad, and the bus cost 1 euro each. The bus service was not very reliable however; you could wave the bus down though in between stops if you wanted to set off walking, but that’s a risk. They are also VERY busy, and the last bus back is 6.30.
The Grotta was a 10 minute (ish) walk where you could get taxi boats to the small beaches. We had a fantastic time on one of the smaller beaches and even had it to ourselves for a while. The snorkelling was good also as the sea is very clear. The taxi boat will pick you up at a time you arrange and we also got to look in some of the caves on the return journey, so don’t be afraid to ask for this before you set off to the beach.
We got a lift up to the tiny village of Krini where the 13th Century castle ruins are (Angelokastro), from a local man with a minibus who ferries tourists up for free (although we did give him some euros).
We did not go up the ruins, it is very steep and not for the elderly. We were also 'trapped' there until the evening when the mini bus made it's return journey, but the waiter at the Horse taverna drew us a map and we walked through the olive groves in the shade down to Lakones, where the Bella Vista was (a hotel at a fantastic viewing point), We had a swim in their pool and got a lift back from the man with the minibus. It's worth going up for the views.
All in all a very good holiday for the money we paid, just don’t expect hustle and bustle. It is very relaxing, people don’t stir until around 10 ish, don’t be put off by the bad comments, we think the pool has probably made all the difference. (Watch out for the wasps all around the resort, they don’t seem to sting when wafted away, but are very annoying as they like to climb into your drinks).
