Hi Leonardo,
Sounds like a wonderful trip! I haven't much personal advice since we have
yet to travel the mainland, but I've checked my Greek Travel Pages
(travel agent's guide from 1996 that was given to me). These might be
starting points:
In Kalambaka:
Divani Kalambaka phone 23330, Fax 23638
Renovated 1991. Air-conditioning, heating, bar, restaurant, tes room,
swimming pool, gift shop, parking.

Central Heating, restaurant/bar, 5 rooms have fireplace, friendly service. Xenia Hotel 33 Dodonis St 452 21 Ioannina Tel: (0651) 47187-8, 47301-5 Fax 47189 60 rooms Manager M. Rittas Bar/restaurant, parking Despite what I said about us going without reservations, I don't recommend it for you for this trip. We go inMay, when the season is warming up. August will be busy, although maybe not as busy as in the islands. Also, if I travelled with a child, I would want more security about having a bed. We have stayed in domatias and pensions and have had wonderful experiences and met great people. But the accomodations are not deluxe as in hotels with pools, bars, etc. Depends on what you find necessary. We don't want phones or TVs, but our friends who came along last year felt those things were important. Its individual preference. Cheers, Collette Saunders Halifax, NS Canada |
