Ahh Fedra Mare, what a great place to spend your anniversary trip. We are back there in 3 weeks time. As you say the breakfasts are off the scale.
Shame about the beach, the seaweed really needs keeping on top of. It was either last year or the year before that the sunbed law was introduced, I believe designed to ensure that enough beach is free for general use. But I hate being on a sunbed arms length from a stranger and the last two years Thomas boats hasn’t had his beds out which was our preference because of the space afforded between them. Did he have them out this year Tredegar Boy?
Your restaurant choices was a carbon copy of our favourites, only previously experienced bookings necessary at Manthos and Sandhills, so it will be interesting to see how it is during the school holidays when we have to go.
What was your no.1 restaurant TB?


Re: Thomas boats....don't know who or what that is BAJ. There were beds outside Athena, a new place called Joia, Delfino and another further along which I can't remember.

Our favourite restaurant was Sandhill, followed by I think Cicala then Manthos mainly for the vibe more than anything. Spent 95% of our time in the old village area and only went up to the "strip" twice. Sandhill and Manthos both had an area off to the side overlooking the sea where you could sit and have a drink pre or post food which is a nice touch.

Got back last Friday (27th) after our 2 week stay at Fedra and our first visit since 2019.

Well there have been lots of changes of which some were good others less so.
Staying at Fedra was once again brilliant. Dimi and Charitini have again raised their game with excellent accommodation, service and a breakfast which is so extensive you don't need anything else to eat until the evening.

The overall quality of food in the places we ate was very good indeed. We ate at Fantasea, Manthos, Mistral, Sandhill, Waves, Cicala, Olympia, Little Prince and Zorba's. Surprisingly we found you had to book a table for most places especially Manthos, Sandhill and Olympia. You had no chance of getting a table by just rocking up as in previous years. The only place we ate at which didn't seem especially busy was Cicala which was difficult to understand as the food was very very good. Prices were very much higher than our last visit and in some cases very much on a par with what we experience here in south Wales.

The weather was gorgeous.....30 degrees each day with a variable breeze.

The beach was a different matter. The area to the left of the stream was covered in seaweed which by the time we left was 3/4 foot high. No clearance in the 2 weeks we were there. On top of that dogs were being allowed onto the beach especially in the evenings where we saw some owners allowing their dog to do their busy at the waters edge. Seeing this was a first for us. Apparently the responsibility for the cleanliness of the beach falls to the mayor. He's clearly failing in that duty. The sunbeds to the right of the stream were packed together as the license is based on the space rather than the number of beds. It looked a bit like Benidorm from a distance. 

Even though the beach was relatively quiet the taverna's were very busy from what we saw. Disappointingly the Condor was the only place that had any live music and that was a bit ropey.       

All in all it was a lovely holiday. A special trip to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary but I don't see us going back in the immediate future as the amount of money we spent was comparable to our Sky Princess cruise last September and then we didn't have to fly.

Yes, bit of a breeze, but it is looking so nice a forecast for those on here soon to be there... I believe TB should be almost packed by now for their special visit Friday - do enjoy!

Dining room table has been full of all things holiday related since Monday ready for packing today. Been working all week making sure the garden is in the best condition before we go away and cleaning the house (as a bloke I don't get the second bit but its a discussion I've never won). :)

Can't wait. As my wife said.......counting the sleeps.

Visiting in June for the first time since 2019 and we're expecting things to have changed and to be more expensive. I'm aware that the Little Prince has changed hands and there's a new place opposite Olympia but that's about the limit of my knowledge. What am I missing? Any pointers much appreciated.

Well they've worked incredibly hard for many years and deserve a rest. Will the restaurant continue under someone else or will it close down?
