Judi,
Just a quick note to say thanks for all your help.
We had a fantastic
holiday, Kefalonia is so beautiful, varied and unspoilt by tourism.
We were very
comfortable in Maria's apartments.
We intend to return (probably in a couple of
years time) and will look to your website as a first port of call for
acccommodation.
Many thanks,

Hi Judi and Paul
Just a quick line to let you know
how much we all enjoyed our brief stay in Aghia Efimia!! Everything worked well
with the accom. in Katerina and Nicoleta Apartments they are spacious and the
interconnecting balcony for a larger group worked well. Their position is ideal
just a few minutes stroll from the main seafront/harbour yet set back from the
main road so minimal traffic noise.
What a find Aghia Efimia is, a
lovely place to stay and relax i feel as though i want to keep it a secret!
Really good to meet the both of you
and thanks from all of us for the local wine you supplied at the tavena it
was much appreciated. The only downside was that we could
not stay longer, however several of the chaps are already thinking of retuning
with their respective wives and partners.
Finally a big thank you from me to
the both of you for all your help on various matters whilst plannig the trip.
All the very best....

Hi Judi & Paul!
We are back in dreary England (landed last night) and
feeling very sad!
Just wanted to say we have had the most amazing,
beautiful holiday in Kephalonia. We are in love with the island...... All 4 of
us declared it our best holiday ever and ultimately, its thanks to you guys...
Thank you so so much once again Judi for organising evrything. Agia Efimia is
just beautiful with the right amount of tavernas etc. not crowded; just
wonderful.
As for the villa...well we have been holidaying in Greece for over
25 years and have honestly not stayed in such luxury; amazing decor, space, finishing
touches all just excellent.
Also our new friends Thanassis and his wife....
what beautiful people. When we arrived, Thanassis greeted us and spent half an
hour showing us around and giving us information. Not only that but he had
provided tea, coffee, sugar, juice, water, bread, butter, jams, beer and wine!!
It just doesnt get much better than that. He popped by every day to check that
everything was okay, his wife came in to clean every day...the service was
faultless and really they were so good to us and such lovely people.
We are honestly feeling really deflated today and already
missing Agia Efimia which felt like home for a week.....
Just want to say once again, thank you so much or
efkharisto! for all your help, advice and support for our holiday. Kephalonia
has got into our hearts...
With greatest and sincere thanks and regards

Hi Judi and Paul,
Just to say that if the holiday is half as good as the
fantastic care and attention you have given us throughout our booking it will
be fabulous!
Thank you so much for all your help and kindness....

Dear
Paul & Judi,
Just a quick message following our stay at Maria's to convey how pleased we
were with the apartment, and to thank you Paul for your very kind gestures.
We
hope to see you next year, and hope business is brisk for the rest of the
season.
Regards

Judi,
Just wanted to say a really big thank you for sorting out the dates
for the apartment so that we can still come in September. I was
devastated when I thought we couldn't come but with your help and replacement
flights here we come!!
Only two and a bit weeks to go, can't
wait...horses and snorkelling gear to the ready! Looking forward to meeting you both.
Best Regards

Hi
Judi & Paul,
Once again we had a fabulous time and the accommodation provided was
excellent. Spiro's & his family certainly made us very welcome and
kept us going with fresh apricots & tomatoes from his garden. The
apartment itself was spotless & well laid out and it was so nice to
sit on the balcony of an evening and just relax. I know it was up a hill
but the walk up was not bad & we managed this no problem. It would
only take 5 min to get down to the village and perhaps 10 min to get back up
again & neither of us are particularly fit.
Once
again Allan & I are very impressed with the service that you and Paul
provide and it is very reassuring to know that you would be supportive in the
event of any problems.
Your personal touch is very much appreciated and I
was just sorry that we did not manage to catch up with you this year but know
how it is.
We
will definitely be back again and will be in contact to see what delight Astro
Holidays can offer. All the best to both of you and have a good summer and give our best wishes &
thanks to Spriros, he works very hard.
love Pam
& Allan.

Dear Judi and Paul
I just wanted to say thank you for arranging our
accommodation on our vist to 'Kef' last week.
Gavril Villas provided
us with everything that we needed and the location was perfect. Could you
please pass on our thanks to Thanasis for being the ideal host and assure him
that we will be back in the near future!
Anyway, I hope that you have a busy summer but still find
time to enjoy the beauty of Kef and dinner at The Brothers!
Regards
Carol

Hi Paul and Judy,
We all really enjoyed our stay at the Gavril
Villas. It had everything we needed and was very peaceful. We’ll certainly recommend it to friends.
We also loved the island and think we chose the best place to stay.
Thanks again and if we come back we’ll
definitely be in touch.
Enjoy the summer.
All the best.

Hi Judi
Just wanted to say a very big thank you for everything.
This time yesterday I nearly gave up on a holiday!
Thanks to you it is all sorted today, flights booked with
company you reccommended, villa booked and car hire organised. You took all the
stress away for us!
Thanks again Judi, look forward to meeting you. All 4 of
us are really excited about our holiday in Agia Efimia thanks to you.

Dear Judi and Paul,
Just wanted to send you a huge thanks for introducing us
to Agia Efimia and for giving us such a great welcome. Jo and I have been going
to Greece together for 11 years and were unanimous that this has been our best trip to date.
It is a beautiful place with lovely people on a fantastic Island - our only complaint was having to come back to Britain. Coming back to work
today was very hard indeed - but great memories to help things along!
The Fotini studios were lovely and we are very grateful
to Fotini and Spiro for their hospitality - and the walk up the hill really
isn't that bad - honest!!
With all best wishes for a great summer season for
yourselves and the rest of Efimia.
Al and Jo

Hi Paul and Judi
We had a great time and enjoyed getting to know the locals a bit more.
Spiro was so kind and friendly! He really wanted to make
sure everything was OK and if we needed help then to just tell him. The
apartments were excellent and the views were amazing.
You really made us feel welcome again and it was nice eating
out with you and the guys at the beginning of our holiday. Nikos was
excellent with the car and we had no trouble. Its so nice to walk off the
plane, see your name on a card and then given the car hassle free.
Thanks again for the 1st class service we get from you guys.
Its an amazing village with the only thing spoiling it
the occasional site of a big blue coach full of sheep with someone
stood at the front with a microphone and a clipboard!
Take care,
Martin and Katrina.

Hi
Just wanted to say thanks to you both for helping make my fortnight such a
fabulous time! There were so many highlights, I don't know which was the best
bit (tho could probably choose the one bit I'd just like to forget....!!!),
helped by having such good fun and company - and Paul, finding the goat bell as
I was having my last cup of coffee was fantastic! It is now dangling from my
tree keeping the birds away and annoying the neighbours!!
Thought I'd also forewarn you... I'm planning to definitley come back next year
(sadly dont think it can be sooner).
(Have to say this is the only place I EVER a) want to come back to and b) bookso far ahead for!!)
Yammas!

Hi Paul and Judi
We had the most fantastic holiday and couldn't have wished for a better location for a relaxing time.
We met old friends and made new ones and are very grateful for all your hard work getting things sorted. I don't like to wish
time away but it will be great to get back next year and carry on the
experience.

Hi both
Had a fantastic time in Kefalonia, it’s just a shame we couldn’t make it 2 weeks but we will next time.
Agia Efimia was our type of place so we’re glad we finally made it there. Vicky Apartment
was lovely especially eating breakfast on the terrace every morning and
Katerina was extremely helpful with anything we asked.
Oh well it’s back to reality now but we can look forward to planning our next holiday.
Thanks for all your help

Hi Paul
We have been singing your praises since we got home and letting everybody know how
lovely Agia Efimia is.
We
hope that your season goes from strength to strength. You have
a fantastic product in a lovely part of the world and it is clear to all
that you love what you are doing. It is great that in this time of generally
dealing with the 'big boys' that there are small, specialist operators like
yourselves who will always thrive due to great customer service, enticing those
repeat clients to return time and time again. Long may it continue!!!!
Take
care and best wishes to you both
Kind Regards

Everything seems to be in place now and we are both counting down the days.
Normally we give ourselves plenty of time but its good that a spur of the moment
decision is so effortless thanks to all your help.
Look forward to perhaps having a drink and chat with you both if you have the time.
Thanks again for all your help, could not wish for better.

Hi
Paul and Judi,
We very much enjoyed our stay; our friends loved the island and have vowed to
return. Thanasis is indeed a lovely man and so attentive. Villa is so well equipped and maintained.
Alison and I will certainly be back; 3 visits since 2005 vouch for that.
Thanks for all your attention to detail and for making life so easy for us all.
Thanks again.
Kind regards

Thank you for the very thorough email to make sure we have all the

unturned!
Thanks again and look forward to our holiday in what’s now less
than 2 weeks!

Hi
Paul & Judi
We
had a wonderful week in Kefalonia - a highlight of our holiday! Thank you
for all your help - we will certainly recommend astro holidays and hopefully
avail ourselves of your services in the future!
We

earth with a thud! Still it is good to be home too.
If
you are ever in this part of the world do get in touch!
Cheers

Hi both
As you know this was our second visit to Agia Efimia and we loved it just as
much second time around. Thanasis couldn't have been any more attentive -
he was there cleaning the pools every morning and clearly cares about his
properties and guests. He asked me every morning if all was good, had we
slept well and was there anything we needed.
We had a lovely stay and will certainly contact you again when the time comes
for us to return to your lovely part of the world
Thanks for your help and wishing you a successful summer holiday season

Dear Paul and Judi,
Having returned from gavril villas we would like you to know how pleased we were with the
property and with the caring way that you looked after our booking. Mr T is
such a charming man who really looked after us during our stay.
We could have done with a small
pan,a jug and a plastic container for mixing, but apart from those things
everything else was there.
Thanks once again

Hi Judi
By providing such a good service in such a gorgeous location and by providing a great lead so that other landlords don't get taken in by the false
promises of the "Big boys", you're certainly doing us as visitors a massive
favour, which is why we keep coming back, but also contributing massively to the
local suppliers and I'm sure that they know it - but I'm equally sure that they
won't ever mention it!
Love to you and Paul, Vicki, Nikos and Katerina - can't wait till we see
you all!
Malc & Bernie

We had a great time both weeks. We saw most of the island and went over to
Ithaca, and believe that in Agia Efimia and Katelios we picked the best places
to stay for us. And within them the best apartments!
We'll certainly recommend you to other people and if we come back would
definitely go to the same places, but we usually go somewhere new so it may be
sometime before we come back! Thanks Sue & Keith

Thanks for your help and journey home was fine. Every holiday has its

Great holiday and may well return another year. Many thanks all

Hi Judi
We both really like Kefalonia, and will most certainly be back sometime - and Astro Holidays will definitely be our first choice for booking accommodation!
Thank you both for everything. Have a great summer, and I may get on to 'That Darn Cat' sometime.

Hi Judi and Paul,
Thank you again for our enjoyable holiday booked through yourselves. Would you
please convey to Andreas and Maria our thanks for our stay at their apartments
and making us feel so welcome (especially at 1.30am). We did see them before we
left and thanked them ourselves but if you could convey our thanks again it
would be appreciated.
Once again thanks and hopefully may see you next
year.

Hi Judi and Paul,
We had a truly wonderful time and Vicky, Nikos and Katerina were so nice and
helpful. This was the BEST holiday we have had in Kefalonia and we are so
looking forward to next year when we would like to do the same, but starting a
week later. Hopefully you will contact us later with offers
for next year.
Please keep in touch and thank everybody for all their kindness

Dear Judi and Paul,
We would all like to thank you for a wonderfull holiday. The Villa
was superb, plenty of room for 3 couples! Kefalonia as usual beautifull
and weather could not have been better. Nikos provided us with great brand
new cars which we enjoyed driving and all our other needs were catered for.
So thanks once again and we hope to see you again soon.

Note to all who are thinking of apackage deal to kefalonia - FORGET IT!!! We have done
------- and ----- and yes they were ok ish but this year went with astro
holidays in a fabulous apartment all arranged with
Judi and Paul who we were so lucky to meet in the village the year before. The
standard of apartment was fantastic and Judi's eye for detail gave us the
comfort to enjoy our holiday in this wonderful
location even more. They found us the jewel in our crowns and now we are having
a job to top it anywhere else. They are truly
wonderful people!!!!

Hello Judi & Paul,
We wanted to say that we had a great time in Agia Efimia. It
was just what we wanted, relaxing and in an ideal setting. We had been to
Kefalonia before (6 years ago) and stayed in Lassi, that time we found the
island to be perfect but not the resort. This time we got the location
right. When we do re-visit Kefalonia we will definitely be staying at
Agia Efimia and will be contacting you for our accommodation. Although it may
not be for a couple of years as we still want to explore a few more Greek
Islands.
Please pass on our thanks to Nikos and his family for their
hospitality. Best wishes, Lee & Suzanne.

Hi Judy
We had a really good time at Makis appartments; it certainly got hot towards
the end of our week! We don't normally go back to the same place twice but we
might make an exception this time although we would probably avoid July/August.
We wanted to see more of the island but it got too hot to explore. Didn't
matter too much as our boys loved the pool and the sea.
Thanks

Hi Paul and Judi,
Our week in Kefalonia has been magic. We're officially hooked and look forward
to coming back and staying again in Maria's apartments - thank you Andreas for
your hospitality. Loved the town, the beach and taverna's, especially
To Perasma - excellent food and always a warm welcome. Thank
you too Paul and Judi for helping our first visit to Kefalonia go so smoothly.
We will definitely use your excellent service again.

Hi Judi and Paul
We had a superb holiday in Agia Efimia. The Clio apartment was the best
place we have had on any of our travels, and Nicos, Katerina and Vicky were
very good to us.
It is the first time Paul has ever said that he wants to
revisit an island. We have never been to the same place twice, except for the canals, since were married! Thanks for looking after us, we will point out your website to anybody that
is coming to the islands. Many thanks for everything

Hello Judi and Paul,
We
had a lovely time in Agia Efimia.
We loved our holiday and I am sure
at some time will return. I am spreading the word about Agia Efimia, how lovely and
peaceful it is and how welcome we were made. Katrina and Nikos were very nice
and very helpful. Its lovely to go on holiday and have everything as you
expected it to be and not be disappointed.
I hope you have a busy summer, in
the nicest way of course, and I am sure when we return we will be in
touch.

Just had to write a line to thank you both for making our holiday so enjoyable. All arrangements went like clockwork and we have had a lovely restful time which is exactly what was needed.
It was lovely to get to know some of the local people who treated us so well and made us feel so welcome. This was of course only really made possible by the two of you making the introduction. Just so nice not to be treated as a holidaymaker.
I have every intention of returning to Agia Efimia so I shall be in touch. If in the meantime you are ever in the SW do come and see us
With very best wishes and thanks again

Hello Judi,
We have arrived to Agia Efimia, the journey was safe and
better than we expected, so we are very happy customer of you.
Nikos and
his mother Vicky received us with warm welcome, the apartment is nice and fits
to our requirements.
And Kefalonia: this is really beautiful, it is
amazing. We have visited Greece 4 times before, but nothing is comparable to
Kefalonia - the feeling is just perfect for a relaxed holiday then just
an additional point to be even more perfect: free wireless internet is available
at the balcony..... well, this is not the most important, but creates even
better feeling.
So, many thanks for your guide and support, we will
definitely spread the name of astro-holidays in Hungary.

Dear Judi & Paul,
Just a quick email to say a
huge thank you, we loved Villa Suva, it was fantastic, better than I imagined
and the internet pictures don't do it justice. Agia Efimia was perfect for us, just
what we wanted, we loved it, everything was perfect, food, scenery &
location.
I will definitely recommend it to others and
hopefully it wont be long and we will be back. None of us wanted to come home, bit of a shock
coming from 42 degrees to 17 degrees at Luton, grey skies, rain and wind. then
hailstones. Yuk
Thanks again

We would like to thank you both for your assistance.
The flat (sorry,
apartment - much posher) was just what we were after and what a view. Maria

goodbye, they invited us in for a coffee, cake and figs (yum yum) what a
smashing couple.
Agia Efimia ticks all the boxes for us and we
will return (maybe not next year).
Thanks again. Best wishes

Dear Judi and Paul
Having now got a better idea of the island - we agree that Agia Efimia is probably the most central and ideal location for guests to travel both north and south. It's almost (in our opinion anyway!) one of the loveliest resorts on Kefalonia.
Your local knowledge and connections was also extremely useful and we very soon felt part of the local community!
Thanks so much for making our holiday such a lovely experience .... we very much hope to be able to return some time in the future.
Best wishes
Chris, Chris, Charlotte and Adele

Hi Judi and Paul
The journey home couldn't have gone any better, we found the airport no problem, were second in the check in queue, checked in, up to the taverna for about 2 hours for a leisurely lunch, quick visit to the duty free, then we got called to board our flight on time and actually arrived back at Gatwick 20 mins early. Even the drive round the M25 was ok.
Anyway thanks again for making our first visit to Kefalonia so memorable.
Best wishes
