…id not have to own or get all the fussy special adaptors you need on other airlines. The food was pretty standard airline fare, though you did get a choice of 3 main options for the breakfast (omelette, French toast or cereals). They also had a movie on demand service which seems to be quite new, and they struggled to get it working and then about 2 hours into the flight it stopped working. The seat itself was large, and went fairly far back but w…
…really that efficient. 3) The place is very remote and so if you are there you are very isolated and far from anything. There is not a lot to do at the hotel – and the gym that they say they are “proud” of is pretty basic with a multi-gym and some cardio machines. 4) The bedrooms are ok – but the air conditioning/ heating system is very poor and is noisy and either boiling hot or off. Though the 2nd time I stayed the room was much better and I am…
…been divided up into various “lots” where someone has the right to sell chairs and umbrellas for that section as well as drinks. So there is some friendly banter as you go along the beach to try and get you to stop and sit where they have their section. There are a lot of vendors on the beach when ships are in selling drinks, large sea shells, spices, jewelry and then are also roaming guitar players who will stop and make up a song about you. The…
…ens seems to only open in the morning and up to 2,30pm, but the one at the airport has much longer hours and so it is worth stopping by there before you leave the airport and get the latest brochures and things that are on. 2. However, no matter how long you are staying in the city, I recommend as I often do for people visiting a city for the first time that you do one of the “round-the-city” style tours. There are 2 very good options in Athens: o…
…a sort of 4 poster design but without the canopy on the top, large comfy chair, and chair and desk to work at. The bathroom was as beautiful with a wall of frosted glass doors with a large shower behind one door and a toilet behind the other.Even the meeting rooms, which are in another new building, were good. The provision of free internet access in the bedrooms was also a nice touch. The fitness center was a real disappointment. 3 cardio machine…
…n airport in town but this is only for domestic flights. The international airport is called Chiang Kai-shek International airport and it is very modern. The traffic getting to and from the airport is slow, although the roads are very good but you need to allow well over an hour or more. I was very amazed with how lush and green and tightly packed the hills and mountains were with trees and vegetation. I don’t think I have ever seen such lush and…
…d is very comfortable (with great pillows!). One thing I like a lot is the air conditioning is so quiet you almost have to double check to make sure it is on as you hear nothing. This for me is a big plus as you will need it. The safe is huge and you can easily pop laptops and the like in easily and the desk is a good size and there is lots of storage space both in the cupboards and on shelves that the TV stands on. They really have got a great of…

…take about 30 seconds each, zooming up the equivalent of 306 flights of stairs. On the 68th floor is a stunning enclosed viewing area with floor to several stories high glass (a few timid people on the tour had to stand back a few feet from the glass as was pretty scary for them). There is also an open air platform on the 72nd floor. There are these clever devices where you can look at the view in real time and flick between a typical day and nig…
