Greek Night with live Greek music and special food

Friday night we decided to have some fun and we organized a greek night with live Greek music and special food! At first the weather was a little cloudy and we all thought that it wasn't a good idea but it didn't rain and I think that everybody had fun!
Ermioni (for those not familiar, our cook) prepared flambe main courses in front of us and our guests, playing with the fire
and she also prepared a delicious and impressive buffet of appetizers (see picture below) and desersts.
Tolis adn Mario were VERY helpful, admiring the buffet and making fun of everything and specially about the chickens (see photo below)....

...We all sat by the pool having dinner...

and some of us had good fun around the bar...(Vicky, in white, was in her honey moon!!!)
...or IN the bar (like Trish and Gareth from Newcastle who unfortunately they had to leave the greek night early to catch their flight back home)

The night ended with everybody dancing around the pool -except of some of the boys that claimed that they couldn't dance because they had hurt their leg. We tried to make them better with some raki shots and in a few minutes some of them recovered and even DANCED!!!!!!

Thank you all for the wonderful reviews

After a sleepless night (due to the famous night arrivals) we are more than happy to see that our family hotel is
No 2 best hotel of Hersonissos, according to "Tripadvisor".

(http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g503710-d595280-Reviews-Angelos_Village-Hersonissos_Crete.html)
And all this because of the excellent reviews that our guests wrote for us!
The only thing that Angelos, his family and Angelos Village Team can say is a BIG
Thank you
to all of you and to promise that we will continue trying to make your holidays the best possible

Happy Nameday Sophia

Today in Greece is the celebration of the names Sophia (Wisdom), Agapi (love), Pisti (Faith) and we send our best wishes to our favorite Sophia who was in the hotel 2 weeks ago and she was such a big help for us that we wanted to keep her together with her mother Androula (who would take care of our beauty) and Odysseus (who was great help for Mario).
Happy nameday Sophia and our best wishes...

One picture=1000 words...

Mario very inspired prepared four different cocktails for the marvelous Subi, Kiran, Sharan and Pav (you see the on the photo with Nella and Danny).


Subi (the mom) with her three daughters (Kiran, Sharan, Pav) stayed with us for two weeks and we enjoyed very much having them around since they remind us very much of my mom and our family's three daughters (see previous pictures). The girls were brave enough to do Bungee Jumping at Star Beach!!!! and adventurous enough to explore Crete with a car. And the last day they also bought us a present to prove that their stay in Angelos Village was more than satisfactory. Thank you all very much!

Thank you Steve!

Steve send me this picture, together with a very nice "thank you mail" for the Angelos Village team.

Ermioni (the cook) was very happy to know that Steve send his thanks and the rest of the team (Mario, Afrodite, Tolis, Harria and the Papadakis family) send their best.

The picture's title is "Mario and the lethal Raki"...As you can see from the picture "lethal raki" goes together with happy faces, so if the rest of you have picture or happy stories about it, share it with us...
We always wait for your pictures of your holidays and your mails.

Vasso Gianna and Harria

Happy in Angelos Village

Familiar faces...Our Stars

People who visited us and as promised "stars" of our website:

Lewis with his dad Dennis are having fun in the pool with Trudie watching the amazing pool star-Lewis- who is doing his best to impress everybody and win the hotel lottery!!!

Janet and Callum (also known as Harry Potter) the "dancing queen and king", the day of their departure - happy of their holidays - dancing a tango!!!

The "Raki man" the man who survived Mario's raki, Robert, with Mario (responsible for many others hangovers because of the raki and suffering from hangovers himself because of the raki)...and the happy Hannah.

Nella and Danny.
With Nella and Danny we spent hours talking and brainstorming about my November holidays (exotic destinations warm in November). But the funniest thing was that, because they both have been working in family places like ours, they always wanted to help us when the place was getting busy and I had to remind them all the time that they are on holidays and not supposed to work!!! But thanks anyway for the offer...
We are looking forward to hearing your news guys!!! E-mail us and send us more pictures from your holidays!

Win a two weeks holiday the summer of 2008

At the beggining of August we started the Hotel Lottery. The winner will get two weeks in Angelos Village for free for the summer of 2008. Many people found it a good idea and chance to come back so they keep putting their little enveloppes in the green box at the bar as you can see on the following photos.

...and so did my sister Gianna who decided that she could be the one to win, and so next year instead of workin at the hotel, she would make her holidays in Angelos Village. Impossible of course because as we explained to her even if she was the one to win she would't take the holidays....it has to be one of our guests!!!! Anyway I took aphoto of her only to make her feel better...
The winner will be announced the 31st of October 2007 in this blogspot and also in our website (www.angelosvillage.gr) which will be ready then.

Rich, Carol and Ellie (who adored Ermioni's "baklava"-traditional greek sweet) were among the firsts who took part in the hotel lottery and also as promised they wrote a wondereful review for the hotel in tripadvisor. In my turn as promised I made Rich the lottery "star"....

Good luck everybody

Video: A view of the hotel very early in the morning

This is my first try to make a video of the hotel, based on Danny's and Nella's idea. To be honest I saw one of his videos of Angelos Village and so the next morning I tried to do the same!
It was taken very early in the morning, the time I was waiting for the famous and numerous Friday arrivals...
The video starts with the sunrise as viewed from the bar and the pool. It was the 1st of September, a very hot day with no wind at all.
