He is Dionysus (or something very close!) I have seen on here that Dennis is often used! Cannot wait til October to be back, learning a little more Greek as I sup a Mythos or 2!

Plakias / Re: Plakias Tourist train
« on: April 28, 2016, 05:57:23 PM »
The train was wonderful, I really regret not using it more. The day trips to Preveli, and to the gorge were great, going oh so slow, able to smell all the aromas of Greece (does Mythos smell?), annoying all the traffic trying to overtake etc. We discovered Stelios taverna in Lefkogia thanks to a lunch stop on a train day trip. Alianthos ran the train, and I believe it did not pay its way, so much so that on one Sunday mornings normal trip to Souda, we advised the driver that we wanted to return on the 12.30 train, got to the train stop in time for 12.30, and were picked up by the train driver in his car as the owners told him the train was not busy, and the owners could save money by using his car for us!
We also go to Petra and Anaxos on Lesvos, and they started a mini train there 2 years ago, running along from Anaxos, through Petra to Molyvos and the castle, and it is a roaring success, much to the annoyance of the taxi drivers. Whenever we went to get the train it was packed, and I assume it will be there this year, but we are off to Kalamata in June and Plakias in October, so Lesvos will have to wait until 2017, by which time I suspect my supplies of Ouzo will be running dangerously low.

Mythos is definitely available from Bargain Booze. A family member has just emptied the Bath store of Mythos, 500ml. for me!
http://www.bargainbooze.co.uk/
Same price as the Tesco offer, 3 for £5.

Now to start my search for Fix!

 Barny, Please tell me you are not going to have a beer with your breakfast - your last post mentions a good nights sleep and maybe a beer. In the words of Morecambe & wise, you have all the right ideas, but not neccessarily in the right order!

I have bad news folks - Tesco has stopped selling Mythos !!!! I cannot find it at our local, and there is no mention on the Tesco website. Morrisons have also stopped, so the only option is Adnams brewery, but it is expensive plus delivery costs. Not sure I want to pay their price. My search will continue, and if I have any news I will post here. Likewise if anyone else has a ling, please post.
PS Bargain Booze list Mythos, but I am hard pressed to find a Bargain Booze shop, their website is out of date, and some shops that list are now closed!

PPS Fix is also wonderful, so any retail outlet selling Fix will get my custom as well.

Where to eat...or not! / Re: To Exepoito

Voloudakis, Thanks for the pictures, sad to see the changes, progress some would call it!
Is the fact you have posted the pictures reason to make us all jealous? Are you in Plakias now?

What is the update on the taverna buildings that were damaged last May? When we were there in October, some had been partially rebuilt, but lots more work needed to finish.

We won't be in Plakias until this October as we have decided on a new Greek destination for this June, Agios Nikolaos, near Kalamata, Mani peninsula. Still seeking another destination to rival Plakias, having discovered Mytiline (Lesvos) a few years back.
If you are in Plakias (damn you!) have a Fix or Mythos for me.

« on: February 25, 2016, 05:13:03 PM »
Hi Daza, just seen your post about Olympic, price depends on time of your trip. We are flying from Gatwick, October 11th. with Olympic using easyjet, and the price now is up as seats are filling on the aeroplane. I don't know what airline Olympic use for EMA. The week earlier is still using Germania, but that is their last flight of the season from Gatwick, all later departures are with easyjet. It does not look good for anyone hoping to go to Plakias in mid - late October. I was lucky and grabbed the deal on Christmas eve from Olympic.
I hope you can find a good deal for Plakias.
Perhaps this post should have gone into the holiday companies section?

Yes, it seems to be a normal offer for Tesco, I always have some in the fridge, and a couple of large Mythos glasses in the freezer, ready for dreaming of Plakias.
I have also seen the same deal in Morrisons.

Plakias / Re: Sofia hotel 2016
« on: January 11, 2016, 05:17:32 PM »
Too late now for others, but as I was on the Olympic email list, I was aware of their 12 islands of Christmas promotion, and day 11 was Crete, promising to save £100 per booking, and, true to their word, I bagged a week at KC for the price I would have paid Easyjet for just the flight from Gatwick!!!!
So we now have 1 week in Plakias in October, early flight from Gatwick, no transfers, but booked taxi with Zacharias, 20kg. luggage (need to replenish Ouzo, baklava and Loukoumi stocks).
Job done.
In June we will be in Agios Nikolaos (Selinitsa) on the Mani peninsula for the first time ever, looking to find another Plakias
See you all there.

It truly is a Happy Christmas - we have just booked, today, for KC next October, thanks to the '12 islands of Christmas' promotion by Olympic.
Flying Easyjet to Iraklion, a taxi transfer that I will book direct with Plakias Taxis, and all at a price I am not allowed to disclose!!! (you might get jealous)
Happy New Year it certainly is!
Yiammas to all.

Holiday Companies / Re: Olympic Loyalty Bonus (or not)
« on: December 01, 2015, 03:00:46 PM »
Ooooh, what have I missed? Am I too late (no, jump up on the cart!)(apologies to Lonnie Donegan)
What time of year are you booked to go? We like to go in October, but this year the latest date is leaving Gatwick on 4th. October, a little earlier than previously, perhaps Olympic would do a deal for that week? Must try & 'phone them, but well done to you.

Where to go / Re: Agios Nikolaos, Peloponnese
« on: November 07, 2015, 09:15:05 PM »
Thanks for the reply, Agios Nikolaos will be perfect for our needs. Finikounda was a close second choice, we were considering B+B at The Korakakis Beach hotel, but the prices were too steep.
A long wait until June 23rd., I wonder if Plakias is calling for a May holiday??!!
