Having fun at Neoi Poroi

Having returned from Neoi Poroi, a very nice resort for tourists 1 hour from 8essalonikh and 20 minutes from Larissa, I have been bugged to write once more for our adventures with our tourist agent. But let's start from another point of view.

For starters, we have decided to go on vacations. Yes its summer but I think you already know that. We searched on the internet and tried to find a nice studio so that we can stay for 1 week. We called several studios, but we seemed to like one a lot. Evi tours seemed to be our missing piece for the puzzle. In the beginning everything was fine. Oh yes she loved us. I had been to neoi poroi once so there was no problem for me to understand everything. The agent has under her manage 3 studio houses (Mpesi – Natali and Niobi). I told her that we will be going by train and she suggested that I should take the expensive one near the station (15-20 minutes from the sea). I said that we didn't need it and that we wanted a room in mpesi. Room closed, payment sent (from 280 euros 100 euros) ok.

After 1 week and 6 hours travel we reached neoi poroi. A magnificent place for tourists. 10 minutes from Platamonas. At 12 o clock we have decided to go and meet with evi at evitours (a handshake meet let's say). She told us that the room wasn't ready and she asked me for the rest of the 280 euros in advance ( oh yes ). I told her I didnt have that much money on me and that we would return when she had the room ready. She told me that the room would be ready on 13:30 and she suggested that we should drink a coffee. On 14:30 we decided to go get the room. She asked us for 180 euros and I asked to see the room (I was paying in advance so I wanted to see what I was paying for) and she told me didn't you see It in the internet?Ehm yes I said but we want to see the room. So she asked one of her employees to show us the room. At a first glance the room seemed ok. We went back, paid (she told us how to use the air condition and asked us not to call if anything goes wrong) and took the key and the controller to the air conditioner and we walked for 10 to 15 minutes to go back to the room. Upon reaching the room for starters it had nothing to do with the photos, photos were nice and the room wasn't. The room has been cleaned very messy. We found water in the bathroom everywhere, a toilet paper inside the toilet, a blanket inside the cabin up side down and no toilet paper. So I go down furious to find a manager forthis studio apartments (I remind to you that the only manager was the evi tours agent 15 minutes walk) . And oh yes there was nobody to be found. The thing is that the office closed for noon and so there was nobody to contact. In the afternoon I called I asked for some other staff, ( soap, towels, my bad ) and the toilet paper. She said there should be one inside the wc. I told her there wasn't and we closed the phone. After that we heard a knock on the door. I asked who it was two times and nothing. So I opened the door and found a toiler paper (used) outside our door. Oh yes you have guessed correctly if anything happened to the room, we were badly doomed there was nobody to help us. Thank god everything went fine. On the last day we said that we would leave on 12 o clock as evi has told us to bring her the key by 12 o clock. And so we packed our staff and went out to the balcony for some watermellon and out of the blue oh yes one of the staff members. She asked me what time are you going to leave (no problem here). We will leave in about 1 hour and 30 minutes ( 11:30 ) and she said to me by 11 o clock you must have left. (oh god what the???? yes we know).so at 11 o clock we hear a knock on the door a woman from the cleaning staff comes in tosses some matresses on the bed and leaves,she asks when are we going to leave and we tell her that we will leave on 5 minutes.so we take our bags and we go to evi tours to speak with evi. Oh yes she heard nothing (you came early, I told you to leave by 11 o clock,you ignored the cleaning girl), she blamed us for everything.Oh yes she has lots of customers and all rooms are full so she didn't really care to apologise to us. To be honest mpesi was in a good position and our room 16 had a nice view. But the agent office was very bad it gets a symbolic 3 / 10. Well if you think that we are trouble makers the only thing that we wanted to hear from evi is that they were sorry but instead she didn't and she insulted us a bit more so I think a three is a good number for such service. The oven on the olympos street had very nice croisants. The train to platamonas was very nice. And do not forget to rent a double – quadriple bicycle in the square you get the train to platamonas (a shop with pools and electronic games) at the left side, very fun experience very good people. Ose was nice too.

I hope I haven't bugged you too much.
