Holiday Companies / Re: Olympic 2014 (already)
« on: September 12, 2014, 03:56:13 PM »
As a few people have posted - when booking with Olympic, be prepared for the flights to change. We go in just over two weeks' time and have received our tickets but heard today that we're being switched to Thomson flights instead of Travel Services. Fortunately, our airport hotel booking for the night before still works out ok and, although we'll miss breakfast, it does mean that we'll arrive in Plakias earlier :)

Where to eat...or not! / Re: Kastro
« on: September 05, 2014, 07:35:12 PM »
I have mixed feelings about Kastro. Pros: The view is great and we have had some good food there. Cons: I was once quite ill from some undercooked sausages and, when we were the only diners there, we thought the owner could have been a bit cheerier and more welcoming.

Thanks Noopsy, it's been a few years since we've been to Plakias so this will be handy, specially for the newer restaurants.

"No news is good news" - no contact from Olympic within 72 hours so I guess we're good to go. :). After many years of visiting Greek islands in September, we've recently started going at the beginning of May and have been blown away by the abundance of wild flowers and butterflies; the only down side being the low sea temperatures.

Looking forward to this late holiday though as I know that arriving back in Plakias will feel like you foot slipping into your best fitting shoes. :)

Thanks for the cautionary note, Ali and Dave. I'll wait until I get another email from Olympic before I book the airport parking. All being well, we look forward to seeing you both in October.

The deal has disappeared now but could be worth looking again tomorrow or another day as we saw the price start at £245, then disappear, then back at £199 a few days' later, then yesterday, £169. I see Bali's still at £169, as an alternative.

We've just booked - 14 nights for £169 including baggage and transfers. Worth thinking about if, like us, you've been looking for a bargain late deal. :)

Plakias / Re: Storm damage to The Far End
« on: January 18, 2014, 05:17:06 PM »
Thanks for posting the video. It's been a few years now since we've visited Plakias but we always headed for the shade under the tree whenever we went to the beach. It won't be just the shade we'll miss: we would often see familiar faces there each year. I hope the authorities leave the part of the tree that's still alive. Given a chance, it might grow and eventually re-establish this much loved feature of the far end.

Where to go / Re: The Pelion - katigiorgis
« on: July 26, 2012, 11:13:27 PM »
We always got our shade from the Tamarisk trees at the end of the Far End :). Hope you have a great time in Katigiorgis: sounds like you're guaranteed a relaxing time.

Where to stay / Re: Prices

I've just booked some BA flights after several weeks of monitoring prices. The price was the same before and after deleting cookies. Also the same when searching in eBookers and Opodo so I would doubt that BA adjust prices based on whether you've previosly visited the site.

Never tried Lysseos in 7 visits to Plakias. Karen's veggie and they've never had anything that's appealed to her. Hope to try it one dy though.
