1am video soon ! Thanks for Watching ! www.buymeacoffee.com/scotsman

[@deemarie8647]

I was there in 1999, it was like a war zone. People walking about with broken arms, legs. Honestly absolutely wild.

[@phillramsay3037]

I am an ex Kavos worker from the early 00s. Whilst it has changed it is still really similar. Went back for the first time in around 20 years last year so this is alway a trip down memory lane seeing vlogs like this. The demographic has changed, it was always 18-30s back in the 90/00s but with the advent of low cost airlines and cheap hotels you are starting to see people of all ages and nationalities.

[@LiamBranch]

Wow, looks like a ghost town now. Had my first lad's holiday here when I was 18, just after it had been on Sky TV's Greece Uncovered, the place was absolutely buzzing. Never had another like it since, even Magaluf is pretty empty these days.

[@STEN4201]

I used to live/work in kavos for many years Kev, changed so much looking at it now. Great vid

[@ScotsmaninTenerife]

Thanks

[@andrewrothnie7275]

Hi Kevin I was a holiday rep for five summers in total, one year in kardamena in Kos and four years in faliraki on island of Rhodes. Brilliant times and the greeks are brilliant Best years of my life😂😂

42nd and Rolling Stone was there in 2001 l remember them well 🍻🍹great times, a lot of new restaurants and bars now but thanks Kevin for taking us back down the strip and I look forward to your 1am video to see if its as lively as back in the day.

Kavos. It was 30 years ago that I was there, when I was 21. Lads holiday.

[@UlsterScotsRanger]

Was in Kavos 20 year ago. The Rollling Stone bar was definitely there back then. Used to go to a bar down one of the side streets for pints of headf****r, Good times.

[@chriscallanan9565]

Wow kev, went to kavos twice in the nineties, the only bar I remembered is the fountain bar. I remember the streets you just walked down were heaving with people. No cars could get through. Can't believe how quiet it is. Thanks for making it to kavos to show us what it's like ,especially with being under the weather. Nice one kev.👍👍

Glad you have done this vlog mate, Kavos is one of the most well known party places in europe after Ibiza and Magaluf. Surprised at the lack of people but like you said it were very early.

[@sharony9831]

Been to Moritika, paleokastriska and kassiopi in corfu. And just returned from Stalis in Crete and went to Malia for a night before it got crazy. Love the Greek people. Tenerife 15th to 29th December 😊. Looking at Dalyan in Turkey for May 2024.

[@andrewlavender-n1g]

Great video Kev, I went to kavos in 1988 on a club 18-30 fantastic two weeks their, 42nd street was there, there was another club I think it was called future place had some great nights in their

[@douglasthompson296]

Nice one wee Kev.I.N, so that's Kavos😂. I'll give it a miss 🧐 however if I was 20/30's again it would be a different matter 😂 It's like the Laganas party strip on Zante island. Thanks for putting yourself out there for us armchair travelers 😎 Cheers DougT

[@roberttasker3615]

I remember going to kavos 15 years ago we used to eat a penny’s kitchen nearly every night the food in there is spot on Kevin

[@championkhamis12]

I was there in 1981, Myself and my Mrs did an excursion from Benitses to a hall ( apparently it was supposed to be a nightclub 😂) I remember it was very near the small beach at the bottom of the main street. We hired a scooter and went all over the island, very quiet then and I don't think I would like it now. 42 years ago! Quick as a flash. Enjoy it while you can people 😊

[@ScotsmaninTenerife]

thanks

[@paulamccarthy8197]

[@toppergreen5864]

First lads / workmates holiday 1993-4 (found the VHS video that one of the lads did in the loft the other month will have upload it) was mental back then , remember the police car going up the strip after 12:00pm all the bars would turn the music down one by one then turn it up when it left. Hotel / villa we were at was guarded by the owners dad with a 12 bore hiding in the bushes.Remember a Hacienda copy night club ? Pool parties in one them hotels you mentioned away from the strip. Also no food spots open after the clubs had shut , just a old VW camper selling sandwiches and rolls

[@ScotsmaninTenerife]

Lol

Hi kevin us lads went out there for hols in 95.and worked there in 96 97 and missed 98 when sky filmed grece uncovered most of the workers and dj.s were still there in 98. Jc.s rolling stone bonkers and the pubs mr beans jazz and twins.a great trip down memory lane thanks.

[@foolonthehill731]

I remember my first trip abroad back in '96 in Faliraki and being pissed and falling for that penalty shot game. It's genius. Naturally the keeper saved all of our shots and it cost us a tenner each or something. Afterwards, laughing with the keeper, it turns out he was once 4th choice goalie for Panathinaikos🙂 It's tricky I find at my age now travelling alone abroad. I'm always conscious of not coming across as some weird seedy pervert bloke. I shouldn't have to feel like that, but I get it. Fair play to the good people of Costa Adeje who didn't make me feel that way at all. You must get some grief filming everyone Scotsman? I find most people in life are sound. It's just the odd one that you have to be wary of here and there.

[@andrewrothnie7275]

Faliraki great place

[@wendyatherton4096]

Went to Kavos in the 90s..used to eat in the Village Taverna and end up in the Black Duck 😅🍹 🍸.. Good times

i am in my 60s and been going to kavos for abot 15 years !! was there in june !! the village was called hungry hippos ! same owner just a name change ! you keep saying nothing for the older generation but you are wrong there is a lot of older people have been going to kavos for years !! going back to the village they do greek dancing and the morfeas used to have greek nights but they dont appear to now !! i love kavos

[@ScotsmaninTenerife]

Interesting to hear great that you love Kavos I just found the place was full of kids including the hotel which I didn't get any sleep in but not complaining I knew it would be lively. As I always say each to their own you will know Kavos lot better than me and great to hear another viewpoint .

[@michaelkuryk6257]

hi kev just a heads up seem's like a lot of people don't know that kavos is not 18-30 anymore, has not been for nearly 5 year's now, it's aimed at family's & couples now, the kavos tv shows showing the crazy holiday maker's made the local's decide enough is enough next thing 18-30 is gone.

[@ScotsmaninTenerife]

its defo still 18-30 mainly , i know they are trying to change it a bit but if the strip is still there they wont be able to change it to be honest as there are only a few quiet streets off it, I wouldnt bring a family to kavos there are much better resorts for families.

[@stephenvivian7801]

Good vlog kevin as alway thank you hope your feeling better

[@ScotsmaninTenerife]

Thanks 👍

[@rkerr9992]

Kavos was my first holiday abroad Kevin 34yrs ago what a time we had,was Drachma then very cheap,I think that area further out is called St Georges but still comes under Kavos,the hotel Morpheaus was the main hotel back then definitely a lot bigger resort now I remember two bars called Splash and The Black Duck,the local police used to drive through at midnight as the music had to be turned down

[@04mancusos]

I went twice. Once in 2008 (i was 15 and went out with my sister and her mates who were 18+) , and the again in 2017. My faves were Buzz, Edelweiss (it's probably gone now), SOS, 42nd Street and Rolling Stone. EDIT- Snobs is not new, it was there in 2008.

Mr.McNally, love the night time videos, like the look of the Kavos strip. So a fella is in the public gallery in court as his neighbour is up on a double murder charge, the judge says to the accused " you are charged with bludgeoning your wife to death with a hammer, how do you plead ?", GUILTY, the neighbour shouts " you dirty rotten bastard ", the judge shouts QUIET IN THE GALLERY, you are also charged with bludgeoning your wife's lover to death with the same hammer, how do you plead ?", GUILTY, again the neighbour shouts "you dirty rotten bastard ", the judge says " that man, why do you continue to disrupt this trial with these outbursts ?", the neighbour says " every time I went to borrow a hammer that bastard said he didn't have one ". Take care kid.

[@angierobinson5570]

Very much reminds me of when we went to Malia in Crete in the 90’s Kavos would be great for the younger generation but not for the likes of our age group I don’t think Kevin 😄 enjoyed the vlog as I’ve never been to Kavos 👍🏻 I don’t think I will be visiting their though 🙂

[@iainnoble8982]

I was there when higuita did the scorpion kicks. And Collins beat Eubanks Was a great pub back in 1995 that did full Scottish breakfasts. Tatie scones, haggis and black puddin 👍
