These jellyfish sound yuck!
I will have to read up and look at pics of them before we go so I know what I need to be avoiding!!!

Does a jellyfish "attack" require hospital treatment?

This site is great - I am keeping printouts of all the suggestions of things to do / places to see for when we go in July (hurry up July!) just have to make sure I don't lose them all before then

Thanks Barny- I think I will be keeping out of the sea then!
Goats I am OK with - even if they bite which they don't usually

Yuck re your jellyfish incident - was it incredibly painful?

I've asked about cats and dogs and insects - my next question is about ...... fish!!!

Are there many fish (in the sea)?

I love swimming and paddling but I have a bit of a "thing" about fish coming near me - can't go in if I see a fish - which I know is insane as they live in the sea and it's their home and they're more scared  of me than I am of them (allegedly) etc etc but I'm still fishphobic!
Is it a fishy sea?
(I don't mean far out - pretty close to shore!)

Is it seaweedy? (Not fond of that either!!!)
I know I am wuss of the decade

Plakias / Newbie - couple of questions :)

« on: February 10, 2003, 05:24:45 PM »

Thanks for the info
I will not be panicking too badly about the insects then - although I bet I will still end up the best meal they have had all year LOL - I still have 76 scars from bites last August! (Sad aren't I to have counted!)
I'll invest in a bug buster thingy before we go then!

Glad stray dogs are not too much of a problem - will be extra nice to any cats we meet - maybe take some flea drops for them? I appreciate feeding them may not be a good idea coz they still have to cope over Winter so maybe get rid of a few itchies if they have them???

Glad to hear NIKOS place is clean - basic I am quite happy with - but was hoping it'd be OK
I am so excited - wish it was not so long away

Plakias / Newbie - couple of questions :)

Hi - have been reading everything with interest.
My boyfriend and I just booked a holiday to PLAKIAS for July / August and I have a couple of questions ... well actually I have LOADS but I will try to restrain myself

I am a BIG TIME animal lover and I am concerned about stray dogs and cats ... are there many in the area, wanting to know wso I can prepare myself mentally for it - and if there are ... is there an animal shelter in the area - if strays are a problem Id like to be able to maybe take some useful things over to donate to make myself hopefully not feel so bad about the animals - although I'm hoping there aren't too many  stray animals around  

Second question - sounds silly coming from an animal lover ... is it very "insecty"?
I hate big insects and those grasshopper things that you hear but never see and am allergic to bites - wondering how bad they tend to be over there.

Last one (for now)
Am staying in NIKOS STUDIOS which I am expecting will be pretty basic - would you think that it will be so warm I will want to take an electric fan over with me - I am not a fan of hot rooms at night time

Thanks for reading .... I am so looking forward to this trip,, not been anywhere like it before - generally just go to States but fancied a relaxing change!!!
