Gossip / Lance Chiltern and Marengowalks maps.
« on: May 18, 2014, 05:20:11 PM »
Hi all and any,
                     Does anyone have any up-to-date info on Lance Chiltern and Marengowalks or where I can get access to his range of publications?
I have had dealings myself in the past when buying his excellent books and guides for walks around Plakias, but all links and sites (marengowalks.com,  marengowalks.supanet.com, etc) seem to lead nowhere.

I'm after his guide to walks around the Lindos area of Rhodes.

Cheers,
Mark Butt.

Gossip / Can't get a response.

Evening all,
                  Can anyone help?
I have been emailing Elani at the Alianthos Beach for a while now about arranging a deposit for 2009, and am getting no response at all. Does anyone know why?

Originally arranged a PayPal transfer but the wheels came off that big time, so am trying the older (and more expensive) bank transfer.

Holiday Companies / Transfers

I can now say that we are going on holiday next month. Yipee! O.K., it might be the end of June but whose counting?  java script:emoticon(':D')
This year we have arranged to hire a car from Heraklion airport for the full two weeks, mainly to give us more roaming options but also because of the notorious Plakias 'Death by a thousand stops' transfer. We have done it several times now and we feel that we have almost seen as much of Crete; and everyone else's accommodation, from a coach window; as we have during our stays.

My question is for those of you out there who have done this before.
When, in your experience, is the best time to inform your holiday company that you do not need the transfer?
I am leaning towards when we arrive. Seek out the rep, find out room allocation, thank them for their assistance and then go our own way, as oppsed to informing the company before we go.
Thoughts, experiences of this please would be welcome.
We are going with Olympic for the first time after several years of First Choice.

Where to go / Other resorts

Now I know that to some the very idea of staying anywhere other than Plakias may be considered grounds for expulsion, but....

Now that Butties minor have almost flown the nest the much loved one and myself may be in the decadent position of being able to have two holidays in 2005. Both are likely to be in Crete and one will be in Plakias, but we are also looking to try new pastures.

One place that has caught my eye as a potential starter is Myrtos near Lerapetra. The Rough Guide to Crete; a publication I have found never to be shy in coming forward, calls it a 'charming unexpected pleasure, kept as clean as a whistle by its proud residents', praise indeed.

Members of this forum have been going to Crete for a long time and have a wealth of experience of what we all know is a wonderful Island.  
I wonder, is there anyone out there who has experiences of Myrtos, good or bad that they would be prepared to share?

Butties, Mark.
