A slightly different angle on the toilet tissue issue.  As others have already mentioned, showers in apartments can be a little indiscriminate with where the water goes.  In my experience a lot of it ends up on the loo roll - so I put it outside the bathroom door whilst I'm having a shower.

Don't try do your washing yourself,i tried this for the first few days and my clothes ended up in a dirty pile in my apartment.The water isnt great for washing clothes.There's a great wee laundry place in Sidari,near Canal D'amour that do a big bag of washing for 10 euros.They will dry it for you too.

Oh one other thing.DON'T book any of your tours through your reps because they are a rip off. Most of the Greek Tour shops do the same tours for far less. We paid over 130 euros for the beach and bbq through the reps but would have paid roughly 15 euros per person through the tour operator!

Also most of the time,you will NEVER see your Rep for the whole of the holiday,don't be afraid to ask other holiday makers or even the hotel owners for help.Most of the time the hotel owners are lovely.

If you are self catering and intend cooking most of your own meals..then before you start shopping ask the the shop keeper if they deliver, then that way you will not have to carry heavy bags of groceries and water back to your apartment/villa.

That is so true!!!!

Also, most self catering places only give you one toilet roll. You have to buy the rest yourself. Its only about 80 cents, but some folks do still moan!

Ok, an American here, what's a scented nappie?  I got the scented part, but I thought a nappie was a diaper!  I can see that I'll not only have to learn more Greek, but the British idioms will come in handy too.

Thanks guys, for the tips!

Its a scented nappie bag.  Like a carrier bag.

Hi Cyn,

It's original use is to put used diapers in, hence the reason it's scented....I think

Be prepared when returning to the UK/home to look around for the toilet paper bin in your loo!

It gets me every time!!!!
