Transfer times are about 2hrs 45mins, I haven't heard of any real bad ones yet!!
the transfer to plakias was fine. we got a split transfer. bus from heraklion to rethymno, and a taxi (people carrier) down to plakias. but coming back was a bit of a pain. got told we were getting the bus to heraklion - which turned out to be the same taxi back to rethymno and were left standing on the side of the road waiting for a bus for over half an hour.
one couple had a problem on the first night - they got to plakias in a taxi at 3am (with no rep) and were kicking up hell in the pool bar at costas chrysoulla because there wasn't a key in there door and there wasn't anyone their to help them - but after i took there papers of them i realised that they were staying at costas chrysoulla ZORBAS APARTMENTS, so told them where to go but they weren't impressed.
you take alot for granted after being there so many years - but for people there on there first visit not knowing where they are going and having no rep from rethymno onwards must be a bit worrying
for anyone going with olympic on a package deal - morvan was getting kinda confused before we left. she said instead of getting your room number and information of the rep at the airport, they now wanted her to attach the information to the apartment doors (on the understanding that it didn't blow away) but neither her or myself could understand how you are meant to get the info of your apartment door when you dont know which apartment is yours?
?i guess it will be fixed after its first week of disasters
george - i passed on your regards to morvan
