Reps

How's this for a two in one answer Barny:

Right - we don't need reps - especially those like we had to suffer this year.

Yes, Jacinta married Manolis in September 2000 (and it was a real hum dinger of a wedding!). They are living happily in Rethymno - and Jacinta is thinking of returning to part time work next season - after the birth of their first son earlier this year.

ostraco:
Well good news on the Rep front. Olympic are blessed with the services of Ana this year. Despite it being her first year as a rep, she was a credit to herself and the company - and we observed one set of her guests who really put her through her paces - drunk and sober (the guests, not Ana!)

Greecemad:
I don't use Reps these days as I always book flight only. If you know a place I don't see what use they are anyway.
One of the reps I remember was Peter who was a SunMed rep in 1990. Is he still around in Plakias as I have seen him in later years, firstly running 'The English Breakfast Bar' and later working in one of the travel agencies.

ostraco:
We've discovered that especially early or late in the season, it is actually cheaper to use a package rather than go under our own steam - except perhaps if you are happy to gamble on getting a cheap flight late.
Yes, I remember Peter from SunMed days. Until last year he was running the English Supermarket, but I believe he has now returned to the UK.

John R:
We go late in season and for early October 2004 (28 September actually) we have already booked flights from Glasgow. We always hire a car so the transfer problem to/from airport are solved and included for us in that cost. I don't think our costs are going to exceed those of First Choice - if indeed Plakias  re-appears in their later brochures as you suggest - and they are certainly comparable with Olympic prices in their 2004 brochure. We will also have a good choice of accommodation which we shall book while there this October (2003). We feel spoilt for choice of accommodation and cannot make our minds up where to go. We know exactly what is available - just too much choice. I wish now we had made the same arrangements for this October 2003 holiday at Plakias.

We normally fly from Newcastle (night flight) but next year we have chosen Glasgow as it is an early morning flight and we can have an inexpensive hotel room the night before which includes the cost of parking the car there for 15 days and is cheaper than parking on airport car parks.

These economics for independent travel may not apply to the same extent for those who use Southern UK airports ?
