Just read the headlines in the Mail about the weather up’t North. It looks a bit nasty guys for anyone north of Manchester and the further north you go the worse it gets, so take care ok.
Us down here basking in the mild temperatures of the southern riviera are thinking about about you OK!! Summers coming... ;)

Dictated by Pete & Dawn.

We visited Spinalonga again this year and came across this monument which has been erected in 2010.
I am intrigued to know why it's there and what the inscription says. Can any locals help me out or anyone who speaks/reads Greek.

Thanks!  

Dictation ended!

Forum and Website discussion / Odd Topic Notification

Paul I received a topic notification from you (evidently), but it was different from the norm.
The link was this:

http://www.ploppy.me.uk/index.php

Which took me into an evidently new layout using as it said 'SMF just installed'. It's as far as I can see totally unusable, but you can see all the messages.

Info please and I suggest no one hits that link until Paul gets back on this one.

Where to go / Ligres Beach
« on: January 02, 2010, 10:26:05 PM »
Hi Y'all
I have a friend of mine who stayed at Ligres Beach a couple of years ago, and she insists that she went though a Gorge to get there!
She went through Spilli then obviously turned right into the Gorge and then down into Ligres, so she says and who am I to not believe her. She's a woman after all  
I've driven to Ligres a couple of times and I've never encountered a Gorge and cannot find one on any map.
So does anyone else know of a gorge on the way to Ligres Beach, from just outside Spilli?

Hi Paul

What's this all about:

http://www.ploppy.me.uk/index.php?topic=1362.new

???

I usually get the ''Topic Subscription Reply Notification ( Plakias Forums )'' via email, but this looked odd as it was headed:

''New Topic: malaysian spycam''

Then indicated the above link.

Hi Paul

Just doodling as one does and went into the 'People' section.
The article re: 'Tina and George' is fine but theres a link at the bottom to contact us.
That email addy died ages ago, so it might be a wise idea to delete it!
Perhaps suggest a message through the 'Message Board' or a link direct to me, I don't mind!

It looks like the 'Home Page' hasn't been looked at (updated) for a while!

The SL's got a mention on the Sarah Kennedy show on Radio 2 this morning.  
Beware all others this could go to their heads, more so than the Raki!!

Holiday Companies / Hidden Greece
« on: January 17, 2008, 02:52:37 PM »
Hi All

Just had an email from Hidden Greece, they've got a new website up and running. I've only had a quick shoofty, but it has a feel of the old 'Sunmed' brochure (bless 'em) about it:

 www.hidden-greece.co.uk

enjoy

george g...

Just a taster of their email speil:-

Hidden Greece's website is now firing on all cylinders!

To be honest, we embarked on the upgrading of our piddling website in 2006 with little enthusiasm. For nearly 50 years we'd enjoyed producing brochures which our clients enjoyed too. How boring, we thought, to move with the times. That was then the prevailing foresight.

However, we were persuaded otherwise by Peter the Printer (who had gone ambidextrous and become a ComPeter Buff) and by Graham (the ghost of websites yet to come) neither of whom of course had the slightest axe to grind. We gave in and, last year, put all our accommodation details on our website. Now we've added everything else.

After 18 months of burning the candle at both ends, we have time to look at the monster we created. We are gobsmacked: it not only does everything the old brochures did (except fit in an envelope and we're working on that) but offers vastly more - and better - pictorial coverage of our places and accommodation which makes it easier for you to choose the right holiday. Now, of course, we claim we knew that all the time. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Hi All

I'm out of here now until 02.01.08, so I'm going to be a bit quiet.

May I take this opportunity to wish everyone a good holiday and an even better new year

PlakChat / RAKI
« on: September 12, 2007, 10:57:44 AM »
I got into work this morning and found a litre and a half bottle of Babbis's Raki on my desk  . Unfortunately we are not allowed to drink on the premises but it does smell good.

Hey Paul any chance of adding smellorama to the sight  , I'd love to share it with everyone who has post Plakias blues.

Thanks and welcome back Pete and Dawn, and Tracy, Pete tells me we have yet another convert.
