Just beware of the cost though.... I'm on Vodafone and it cost me 39p to send a text (although nothing to receive one).  I made no calls myself but Rob used up all my remaining £5 credit when he rang me on the first Sturday night for a call which lasted 3 minutes at most.  It might have been costing him £2 a minute but it also cost me to receive the call!  It's also a bit hit and miss as to whether the message gets sent instantly and sending by replying too didn't seem to work unless I took the 44 off the beginning of the number and replaced the 0.

By the way, Rob 's on Virgin and his phone didn't work although I read on the Virgin site that you can use your phone abroad if you are on their monthly direct debit service although not, it seems, on the Pay as you Go!

Hi All,
Just noticed how much flights to Heraklion have gone up since I last visited in 2023. A return flight is up by around ?250, that is in August with extra leg room seats but no food.
But I'm still going !

Plakias / Checking in?

« on: August 25, 2015, 07:55:30 AM »

This time last week I was there, I had another wonderful two weeks and enjoyed all the times in Kyma, Antonis Place, Harakas, Lyseos and especially my room at Stella Studios.
Two weeks without wind! One rainy hour, loads of food and beer!
Good supermarket service Alison,
Hope you're still enjoying it Dave and Les?
If anyone is still worrying about the Greek money problem then don't as in Plakias nothing has, in my opinion changed, if anything I thought it was a lot busier this time.
Happy hols to all there and waiting to go!

PlakChat / Bike rental

« on: March 03, 2015, 05:27:15 PM »

Hi All,
What's the name of the place that rents motor scooters and is just on the road that the chip shop is on?
They have them outside on view?
Or is there any other place to rent a 'funky moped'?

I am thinking of getting one of these as my first 'big' camera. Has anyone any experience with this, or recommend others?
