The Paspalis in Scala (Skala locally) was a great hotel. The rooms, although basic, were cleaned every day & fresh towels & bed linen changed three times in the two weeks we were there. Nikos the owner & all his staff were very helpful & friendly, particularly the restaurant staff who worked very long hours yet nothing was too much trouble for them. …

As usual, finding a good deal and suitable destination involved plenty of Interweb wandering and - one of the reasons I started up this Package Holiday site actually - inspiration for some reason always seems to be in short supply.
