"We had the most amazing week in Evia with the Beyond Beach Team. It was our second time at Stira Bay and we thoroughly enjoyed the activities, meeting new people and also hanging out with friends we had met on previous BB holidays.\r\nThe beach team led by Michelle are superb and go above and beyond to make sure that everyone is looked after.\r\nThere was a wider range of activities to choose from this year and we enjoyed the cycling, running and other classes that were on offer.\r\nThe addition of beach towels also meant our cases were a bit lighter.\r\nThe location of the hotel means that you can easily get into Nea Styra and the old town so lunches and dinners are nice and varied.\r\nWe would definitely do a BB holiday again in the future as a family we thoroughly enjoyed it!"

"I have just returned from Stira Bay holiday with 18 year old, Rugby playing son, Theo - we had a fantastic time and cannot wait to return!!\r\nBooking was easy, questions were all answered, the transfers from Athens to Evia were super-smooth, the hotel was in a beautiful location.\r\n\r\nBut the best thing?? Was the Beyond Beach team led by Michelle - they were all so friendly, helpful and accommodating, nothing was ever a problem and we throughly enjoyed our time with them.\r\n\r\nImportantly there were plenty of boats, kayaks, paddle boards, bikes and other equipment for everyone - we never had to wait for anything. \r\n\r\nAnd such a great variety of activities- we always planned to make the early morning swims and exercise sessions but some late nights socialising with other families, with too many fabulous Majitos and Pina Coladas, meant we didn\u2019t quite manage to make any of them! Next time. \r\n\r\nWe can\u2019t wait to return next year! \r\nAnd I have included one photo which sums our week up. \r\nA massive THANKS to the Stira Bay Team"

"We have just returned from a fantastic week at Lixouri Bay! The booking process was very easy with the UK office answering my many questions in advance of our trip. Transfer to & from the airport in Kefalonia was efficient with the taxi company messaging me in advance to combine us into a minibus with another family to save costs. The family run Lazaratos Hotel was fabulous, be prepared for it being out of town though with no facilities or shops nearby, we took a taxi into town with two other guests when we arrived for E10 each way and stocked up on lots of bottled water, drinks & snacks for the room etc. But the beauty of it being out of town was that we felt our 13 yr old son was safe walking from the hotel to the beach with his new friends. From everyone sitting not really talking on the first night by the end of the week we felt like we knew everyone & made some lovely friends! Great buffet food on the inclusive nights and always something that our fussy eater could eat. Great choice of delicious food at lunchtime from the poolside bar. The beach facilities were great with lots of different sized windsurf sails & boards available. My husband was on one of the three catamarans every day whilst i enjoyed the single hand Topaz boats. We didn't go to any of the organized sessions as we can already sail so cant comment on those. Our only niggle was that the staff took a while to accept that we (including our son) could sail and let us take boats out in windier conditions. We would definitely go back."
