It has, NO DISCO'S, NO NIGHTCLUBS, NO AMUSEMENT ARCADES,NO TATOO PARLOURS, NO THEME PUBS, NO McDONALDS, NO FISH AND CHIP SHOPS.

The vast majority of our normal rooms are completely suitable for children, though we will advise you accordingly when you book with us. We will under no circumstances book accomodation for you, which we do not feel fits your individual family requirements. We also have a very limited amount of accomodation for parents and up to five children, in a purpose built self contained family appartment. This is very popular with families, so early booking is strongly advised. Phone us or E Mail us for further details and a firm price quote.
If you are still not sure, we will put you in touch with previous visitors whose family matches your own, so you can ask them any relevant questions and get answers from people who have the same perspectives concerning family travel, that you have.

A big emphatic YES. We only arrange visits to the village and all the accommodation is situated within the village, in this way we achieve our objective of getting you involved and enjoying the villagers way of life. Every year, we get the horror stories of people who think they have booked a holiday in the village, then find they are somehere else, often in resorts which are the complete opposite of our village. Our staff will be pleased to give you honest accurate information of the location of any property you might have been led to believe was in the village. Remember, it is not in the villagers interest to mislead you in any way.
The obvious answer is book with us !!!
However the Mail on Sunday who have led a tireless campaign to try and stop this practise of mis-selling, have produced some pointers which we have reproduced for your guidance:
The following areas highlighted iin black, whilst not conclusive, will give you a good indication of how to avoid mis-selling.
1) DO THEY INSIST YOU ARRANGE YOUR OWN FLIGHTS ? Greycat policy: Whilst we are happy to arrange accommodation only, we will ALWAYS arrange flights if you require them. This gives you the added bonus of ATOL protection.
2) WILL THEY GIVE YOU ACCURATE DISTANCES OF ANY ACCOMMODATION ? Greycat policy: We will give you distances IN WRITING of any aspect of our service. You can choose the point in the village, if not we will give it from a central landmark, eg telephone kiosk outside AVRIOS RESTAURANT. NB Anything more than 600 meters from here IS NOT in the village.
3) WILL THEY GIVE YOU THEIR BANK DETAILS TO MAKE YOUR PAYMENT ? Greycat policy: We are happy to do this if you prefer to pay in this way. We will NEVER ask for your bank details, be very wary if asked for these !!.
4) ARE THEY HAPPY FOR YOU TO CONTACT PREVIOUS CLIENTS ? IF SO, ALWAYS CHOOSE CRITERIA YOURSELF eg PARTY OF SAME SIZE AS YOU or CHOOSE INITIAL OF SURNAME YOURSELF AND/OR AREA OF COUNTRY. THIS PREVENTS ROGUE TRADERS CHOOSING A COMPLIANT ACCOMPLISE. Greycat ploicy: We have a comment page from previous visitors on our web site. We are more than happy to provide contact details of previous visitors which meet YOUR CRITERIA OF CHOICE.
HAVE THEY A BONA FIDE UK ADDRESS/CONTACT POINT IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE/LEGAL CLAIMS (NOT A P.O. BOX) ? Greycat policy: Whilst 99% of our infrastructure is in Mastihari Village, we maintain a UK address and phone number, clearly listed on our web site, which has been UNCHANGED for 22 YEARS !!
BY FOLLOWING THESE SIMPLE GUIDELINES, YOU SHOULD AVOID THE PROBLEMS OF MIS-SELLING Greycat response: We fully support the Mail on Sunday in their efforts to stamp out this shameful practise. From a purely personal point of view, this continuing abuse not only wrecks peoples holidays, it also seriously damages the local economy by diverting money away from it, which you the client had clearly intended it to go.
