Hotel Dandis in Tolo

It was still a couple hours drive to get to our hotel. We made a quick potty stop at a very modern, clean rest stop near Korinthos. Soon after that we left the main highway and took a couple of two lane country roads through much flatter territory to the other side of the island. It took us awhile to find the hotel. We found Tolo with no problem but Niko and Jim had to ask a couple of the locals where the hotel was. The town of Tolo was tiny and it didn\'t look like it would offer much entertainment for the evening. It really looked like we were in the middle of nowhere. I wasn\'t expecting much until we pulled up to the hotel. It was a big modern hotel. The lobby made a great impression reminding me of the beachside hotel we\'ve stayed at in Fiji. It was accented in blonde wood and sported soft leather sofas. The lobby was open to the pool area on the opposite side. The pool was huge and very clean. I had a nice big modern room but alas, the a/c didn\'t work. Luckily I had a big patio window that I could open and the sea breeze brought some relief from the stuffiness. We had a nice dinner in a ballroom on the ground floor. The Greek beers were the best thing to quench my thirst in this humid climate so I had a couple. We enjoyed a small salad bar and something with rice. Naturally I was still hungry. After dinner we walked away from the little village and toward the beach area. The area was rather lively. I had a Gyro and a couple beers at a nice little outdoor bar. The place was packed with German tourists who came to watch Germany play another World Cup game on the big screen. Unfortunately, Italy beat them in overtime and thus went on to the Final.
