Thalero Holidays Center in Lygia

My wife and I have been visiting Greece for the last 20+ years, visiting various islands. I would like to start by stating that Lefkada is a very beautiful island, and we enjoyed every minute of our visit. Regarding Thalero holiday centre, On arrival we found the proprietors of the centre very unfriendly or inviting. We were also very shocked at the state of the premises, the place is very tired and out of date, (pre-war) in need of some love and care in the form of paint! The room we were allocated did not resemble in any shape or form the pictures that were advertised on the site. For instance, to shower you had to hand-hold the shower head as it was not attached to the wall, and the shower curtain had seen better days; I have taken pictures to prove just how bad this room was. The kitchen sink plug did not stay fixed, and as quick has you were filling the sink, it was emptying! The room had no hairdryer, this is the 20th century, not the 18th century! The air conditioning was so outdated, I could blow stronger and faster cool air out than that draconian machine could!). I have spent less money on past holidays and had greater value for my money and fantastic rooms at that!!! All in all, what should have been a wonderful, long anticipated over-due holiday, turned out to be a big disappointment; we felt that we had been ‘lured’ by false advertisement, and it is no wonder we could not find this centre / self-catering apartment on YouTube. I cannot understand why this centre is still in business. JET2 need to send a representative to view these room to understand how ‘dire’ they are. It is the first time we have used JET2 and I am now loathed to use the company again

Okay let’s start with the positives, the staff are friendly and the pool is clean. The accommodation is extremely dated and looks and smells old. The big issue for us was the road noise and the noise from the residential neighbours who were constantly chain sawing, strimming or doing other noisy things. Night time you just here the traffic all the time, as the property sits off the main road from Lefkas Town to Nidri. The food at the bar is basic and overpriced.
