Reps

That's probably the case John.
We went with Olympic in May. I paid about £240 for a single room for 2 weeks. Flight only at that time was about £200 - so clearly we saved, as we had no more costs for room and transfer. (I can't remember exact prices, as I didn't do the bookings)
Different in September though - £400+ for the same arrangements - so MAYBE we could make savings? Either way, it wouldn't be a lot, taking transfer and travel costs into account.

Going back to the subject of reps - you're right, I don't think we need reps really at all especially when we all know the place so well. Talking of individual reps, I know Peter too - he was probably the best rep I ever have come across (I never knew Jeannie when she was repping although I've got to lknow her since, but I'm sure she was great too). Peter loved Plakias and he really knew his stuff. I always respected him for the fact that he was the only rep who tried to entertain you on the transfers to and from the airport regaling you with wartime tales and ancient myths. It was he who inspired me to read the books "The Cretan Runner" by George Psychoundakis and "Ill Met by Moonlight" by W. Stanley Moss - both available in the supermarkets in Plakias - and I'll never forget the trip back from the Samaria Gorge on a particularly hot and drowsy afternoon when, on coming through Frangokastello, he told of the ghostly soldiers said to still be heard on a particular night in May. I've never been back to Frangokastello since without getting that eerie and dreamlike feeling reminiscent of that particular afternoon.
Peter has indeed returned to the UK now with his wife and kids. I believe he is living somewhere in Scotland.
