Το παρακάτω κείμενο εστάλει στις Times του Λονδίνου ( The Times ) μπας και ξεφορτωθούν την γκρίζα διαφήμηση που στέλλει κόσμο σε τουριστικές παγίδες και camping του κερατά.
Dear editor,
I read about your recommendations on camping in Greece and as I was traveling on the first week of August there I decided to take it up and stay for a night at Enjoy-Lichnos camping near Parga.
Well, what can be further than the truth than what was written on your newspaper by Mr Richard Waters.
At first the place and beach were on a very nice setting but from then on it started to get bad.
And I am mentioning points one by one to make sense and to prove beyond reasonable doubt that this place is one of the worse camping places in Greece. For all the points mentioned below I have photographic evidence that I can forward if u would like.
1. Overcrowding: The place was packed with distance between big tents of average of 2 metres. You couldn’t scratch without your neighbour listening to you, and when he was smoking all the smoke was passing through your tent too.
2. Dangerous animals 1: My neighbour kept a very large pit bull dog who kept barking till 3 am, all under the eyes of the 18 hour guard. Even though I was with 3 small kids and those dogs should not be left alone but muzzled when in public places he was free to roam the camping grounds and beach
3. Dangerous animals 2: Snakes were around and Sulphur was everywhere to kept them out of the camping place
4. Unhygienic habits 1: Dogs were bathing in the beach
5. Unhygienic habits 2: Boats were parked on the beach opposite the camping ground and every time a boat was starting the beach was full of gasoline.
6. Unhygienic habits 3: terrible toilet and shower facilities that even if they had someone cleaning them all the time still the overcrowding and bad quality of the construction kept them at very bad condition.
7. Unhygienic habits 4: Restaurant with dirty utensils (I had been given a fork with dry salad on it) and glasses with grease on them.
8. No Parking: There were not enough parking places for all the cars and people parked by the road on corners and everywhere else they could find. I was lucky and my car was only 200metres from my tent.
9. Noise and disturbance: people had parties till 3am and nobody seemed willing to tell them to have them on the beach or keep quiet. So not much sleep will be possible in this camping.
10. Smoking: The beach and the camping looks like an ashtray, shouldn’t it be a place for smokers and a place for non smokers? Or at least keep containers to put out cigarettes.
11. Food Portions: The portions of the food in the restaurant remind me of portions of food at kindergardens. We ordered 4 plates of fish and 2 portions of chips, Greek salad and taramosalata (yuk) and we were 1 adult and 3 kids ages 5,6, and 8, we ate everything and we were still hungry. The octopus portion was just 2 small legs (around 50grams of fish) and costed around €9. No “camping” pricing here.
12. Pricing: The prices are mentioned by you, and as seen on line in the camping’s web page http://www.enjoy-lichnos.net/ do not add up to what they charged me. We were one adult 1x€5.50, three kids 3x€3.50, one car 1x€3.30 and one large tent 1x€4.50, total of €23.80 and I was charged €28.80, €5 more. I didn’t even bother asking for it as when I asked for a receipt I was given the sum on a hand written slip which is illegal.
Voila, this is my update to your reportage of the camping place at Parga and I would strongly challenge the report by your reporter as I know the habit of grey advertising is running high everywhere in the world and especially in Greece. Could your reported mention the reasons he decided that this place was one of his recommendations? Has he stayed there? Does he know the owners in person? Or he has a problem with commenting on all that?
Everything above will be published on the internet and any response by you will follow any publication.
