Holiday Companies / 2003 offerings

« on: November 04, 2002, 09:05:17 AM »

We have already booked with First Choice for October 2003 (we did this last April !!). Their total holiday costs flying from Newcastle and using Stella Pension (B+B) are eceptionally reasonable. Newcastle airport is very handy for us and we cannot (yet) beat their prices from that airport at that time of year.

Holiday Companies / Reps

« on: November 04, 2002, 08:55:09 AM »

The First Choice rep left half way through our holiday during the 1st two weeks of October and was replaced by an exceptionally good "trouble shooter " class rep - Richard who was exceptional. He was totally tuned in to the type of place and the type of people for Plakias. He was not in trouble shooting mode but that was his calibre. His predecessor, we nicknamed her the Rotweiller, would have scared the wits out of Malia hard types - pinned me to the wall with a lecture on not attending the welcome meeting. I nearly felt guilty till I found out later nobody had attended - not surprised. Then messed up our rooms so that we (nearly) could not keep them for the day for our late flight home. Richard had to sort the mess.

I think reps are useful but they should know how to merge into the background unless needed or unless (as per Richard) welcomed into the social circle. Many folk at Plakias are old hands. We hare newcomers having ony been 5 times !!. We don't need the reps to explain where the beach is.
