Forum and Website discussion / Spam Spam Spam??

Referring to the resent postings of JohnB, where he promotes new apartments in Plakias, it would be interesting to find out what you forum members think about this. Ultimately it is in the hands of the administrators to decide this, but I have a feeling that we all have opinions on this subject.

Gossip / Weather frustrations

« on: May 15, 2005, 01:28:19 AM »

Hi anybody


Try to imagine this: It is 15ht May, two hours after midnight and broad daylight. The temperature outside is -2 C and it is half an inch of fresh snow on the ground. I had planed to mow the lawn today. It would have been the first time this year.

OK   I volunteer to live north of the polar circle, but sometimes it just gets to me. And I can not escape to sunny Plakias until the end of June.

Sorry  
Just needed to blooooooow off some steam

Where to stay / Going to Plakias

« on: March 01, 2005, 02:30:16 AM »

Hi

My name is Tom and I live north of the polar circle. I found this great site while browsing for accommodation in Plakias. I have gone through the names and pictures to see if I recognised some of you members. But unfortunately I seem to have missed all of you.

Found Plakias by chance in 1984. Used it as a stopover on my way to a kibbutz. Stayed at Filippos' youth hostel for a week and got hooked. Have been back again and again, mostly staying at the hostel. I also held the position as a janitor at Meltemi for a short period. Great days in the sun, but sometimes spending the midday hours bouldering or climbing on and in the shade of the cliffs east of the beach. Unforgettable memories. Also spent the best part of a summer living in a bamboo hut on the Preveli beach.

Anyway, I can ramble on like this page after page so I better come to the point. The hosteling days are over. I have children and must wear a thin layer of respectability. Last time in Plakias (2000) we stayed at Clio Studios. Good rooms and nice shady garden, but some days they had a noisy group upstairs keeping the children awake. We have booked a flight on the 28th June staying for a week. If someone know of a place to stay that is like Clio's, but with no upstairs, then please pass me the details.

I better explain what I am looking for: Two twin bed/double rooms with a kitchenette, in a quiet place with no swimming pool or bar. Perfect location would be a bit back from the harbour or a little bit out of town towards Souda.

I am really looking forward to coming back and hope that the last 5 years haven't been to hard on the place.


Tom
