Hiya

I stayed in Piskipiano last year, its a lovely village. you get your quad bikes form a place called phenonemon for about 150 for a week and you need a full licence. they are wicked dangerous though seeing as everyone just drives tehm around while they are drunk!

Hey I spent a couple of summers in crete myself, Piskopiano is great and only 5 mins walk into hersonnisos. You'll prob end up getting taxis home cos the hill is a killer but they won't cost much.

If you fancy a bit of home cooking there is a lovely restaurant in Pisko that is run by an Irish lady and they make the best mashed potatoes around. the name is escaping me now but its the first restaurant on your right as you head in to Pisko from Hersonnisos direction.

alrit . do u need a full licenece for the beach buggys? any good karaoke bars in piskipiano. with 22 of us for the first week it wud be alot of fun to go to a karoke bar.

No to be honest you'd want to be going into hersonnisos for the bars etc. Some nice restaurants in Pisko but not much nightlife.

As regards licence you do for mopeds but I haven't a clue about beach buggies, I would presume you will either have to give your licence or passport for security more than anything... people have a tendancy to crash them and then do a runner

yeah hopefully for the beach buggys its just ur passport u have to give . yeah hersonisis is great but last year i didnt see one karoke bar

Went Island hopping around greece last year stayed in hersonissos for a week or ten days can't remember star beach white party was one of the best nights of my life it was ****ing unreal,Thousands of people at it all wearing white class.

Better off getting locked before you go to it cause its quite expensive in there.

Another club you should look for is COPACABANA its right down the end of the strip its a dutch energy dance club not into the music at all and there weird jumpstyle dancing but it was class absaloutly mental and just a laugh we went there nearly every night.

I your bored during the day theres a local pitch with a little stand and a nice pitch to play football on we stayed across the road from it and hopped the fence a few times and played on it.

The Blarney Stone often have a Karaoke night and there is are a couple of bars along the main strip (one is opposite New York as far as I can remember) that used to do it a couple of nights a week
