Comments: Tasos, Pavlina & Kostas, Thank you so much for a wonderful week. It was all we hoped for and more! It is such an amazing spot, like paradise! Feels like it was all a dream now we\'re back at home! Thank you for a perfect wedding day, wonderful decorating (thank you Pavlina, I know you spent hours getting the place ready, it was perfect) and an amazing meal (this time two weeks ago we were just digging in! Everyone loved it). Could you send me your photos from the day? I will send you some of ours too. We will be practising our Greek dancing for our party here in June, Aisling can teach the rest of us as she was the best! Feel free to put photos on your website Thanks again, Linsey & Aidan.


Hi Tasos, Pavlina and Kostas,

I sent a comment to your website but I'm not sure if you received it. We just wanted to say thank you very much for the best week ever! Your place is amazing, paradise. The wedding was all we had hoped for and more, a brilliant day. The decorating was beautiful, thank you Pavlina for going to so much trouble. The food was delicious! It all feels like a dream now we're back at home!

Could you send me some of your photos and feel free to put them on your website? We have some of ours up on http://www.flickr.com/photos/26707893@N04/2505213176/ if you want to have a look, will send on some more when we've sorted through them.

Thanks again,

Linsey and Aidan.

Hello Tasos and Pavlina,

We have arrived back in Cardiff safe and sound,unfortunatly the car had a flat battery,so we had to find someone to jump start the car!

Thank you so much for a lovely holiday,I have so many happy memories of my time with you,perhaps one day I will return,how could I resist such a beautiful place!

I hope all is well with Pavlina and her mum and when the time comes it will not be too painful.

With very best wishes,

Take care,

Jackiex

Dear Tasos and Pavlina
Thanks so much for making us so welcome at your lovely place, we got back to London on Sunday despite the earthquake which hit while we were at the airport, scary! Just a 1.5 hour delay to our departure.
I hope your son in Patras is okay as we hear that is the centre of the earthquake?

We had a beautiful holiday and are of course very sad to be back in UK and at work again but hope to come and stay with you again next year, probably from 22 May to 31 May if Nephele is available?

Thanks again, say hi to Pat and Chris for us - lucky buggers.

Cheers.

Fantastic Holiday
Yasu Tasos,

Ti Kanete?

Just a quick note to thank you and your family for a lovely time during our visit at Portadelmar. Many thanks for arranging the car hire.

Also, a big thanks to you and your flying trainer, I had the most exciting time, I was involved far more than I could have hoped for, I assisted with take off, flying and landing. Again many thanks.

I hope Pavlina and her family find some comfort in the memorial service for her Mum, please send our condolences.

I told Costas I would try to get some video to you, I'll try and work on it at the weekend. Your son is a credit to you and Pavlina, you should be very proud of his achievements, he is a fine son.

Hope to speak to you soon and my Mum and Sister send their regards and their thanks for a lovely time.

Kind regards





Billy & Sandra

Hi x

Well one week back in England – and I want to come back! ! !
I had such a lovely time and England is so so cold! I have moved to Hove by the sea this week and can hardly walk along the seafront the weather is so bad !

Anyways! I just wanted to thank you all for such a wonderful holiday. I felt so truly lucky to have fallen into the middle of such a special family and such a beautiful place. It was very very special x
Tasos – thank you for your enthusiasm and love of music and for getting me to sing again. And don’t worry about the glasses – I reckon theres some fish wearing em looking very cool !
And Kostas – thanks for a great table tennis match – I watched the amazing wimbledon final yesterday and was reminded of our game and obvious similiarities in skill x Still trying to sort out how to do an mp3 file Let me know where to send it?
Lots of love to Pavlina too and hope your all having a wonderful summer.

Hope your all having a great week. Don't work too hard and be lovely to hear from you all if and when you have time.

Big kiss from a wet and windy uk

Hi Tasos

We loved your place. We will when funds allow return for a couple of weeks. the state of the economy and the euro is not helping. Would only have one request, please can you hide the Neil Diamond cd from Pavlina b4 we arrive.

Very best to you and all your family

Hello Pavlina & Tasos from wet and chilly England!

We would like to thank you both for a fantastic holiday - it could not have been better! We loved the Calypso villa and its two terraces, it was perfect for our needs. We could not have had a more relaxing and enjoyable time, and would definitely recommend PdM to anyone.

We will certainly be back for a return visit some day, thank you again.

Best wishes to you all.

Tasos, Pavlina, Kostas, Elina,

Thank you all for such a great holiday, it was the most relaxing 2 weeks we've ever spent anywhere - made all the better by the lovely setting and your super hospitality!! Sue sends her regards and the girls are insisting we retrun as soon possible, Avril and I share their enthusiasm!!

Remember Elina you're welocme to give us a call any time you're in Southampton and I may even subject you to some of my cooking, though it may not be as good as the food Tasos and Kostas served us from the BBQ and pizza oven!!

We hope you're all very well and enjoying the Greek sunshine and look forward to staying in your lovely villas again soon.

Best wishes,

Russ, Avril and Sue (plus the girls of course!)

Comments: Hello to Tasos, Pavlina & Kostas

A big thankyou for providing us with the most lovely week in your piece of paradise in Zakynthos - It was more than heaven - peaceful, beautiful villa, wonderful views and everything we needed was there in the one place. As a family, we had had a very stressful and traumatic year with certain things, and the holiday you gave us dissolved all the stress and upset! I was very sad to leave, and unluckily for us our airline managed to check us in despite us being an hour late!!! I hoped they were going to offload us so we could come back for another few days!!! My Mum and auntie had the best time, and myself I will be back with my partner next September, we hope to persuade his sister and husband to join us, to experience being part of what feels like a small village all of it\'s own! I am not looking forwards to going back to work tommorrow - I keep looking at my watch and thinking \'what would I be doing in Porta del Mar now?\' ... the answer is always... resting on balcony, swimming in clear crystal sea, making cups of tea to take down to the beach, and looking up at the stars... please email me with some prices and dates for early september next year - my deposit is at the ready!!! Yesterday I made a greek salad for lunch, but it didn\'t taste the same as when Kostas made it!

Thankyou again for the best holiday I have ever had.

Kindest thoughts - Tara, Marie & Kathleen


Hi Tasos and Pavlina

Just to say thanks for a great holiday. We all loved porte del mar and hope to come back sometime.

I only have one suggestion which is maybe thinking about having air con in the living/sleeping area if kids are sleeping there.

Just a quick note to say another big 'thank you' to you, Pavlina and Kostas for making our holiday so wonderful.

We had a fantastic time, you all made us both feel so welcome and we will certainly recommend Porta del Mar to our family & friends.

Hi Guys!

Great to hear from you, I am well and truly back into work mode now. No Mythos, no wood fired pizzas and no warm weather.

We would love to come back one day, Charlie has not stopped mentioning you all, and the turtle in the pond!

I plan to send you some of our photos tonight. Feel free to use them on the site if you like.

Speak soon and thanks again for such a wonderful honeymoon.
