TRIBUTE from Kathy on Lesvos 2007

With such a large group of dancers, there were many more than enough dance lessons in the hotel, covering widely differing dance styles, when I got time to go to them and plenty of opportunities to dance informally or freestyle. A week was not long enough for this venue  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the 2007 Lesvos trip, I am keen to repeat it.
Beach Activities were just great with upbeat and helpful staff that explained everything really well, especially those with not much experience, like me. The waterskiing was free and they also did organise canoe trips such as stopping off for a coffee in town! The Bikes provided were top notch, and lots of nearby interesting places / sculptures, turtles river and bars to cycle to.

Just do it! Kathy

What’s included!
