Ha ha John, NAVIGATE? after that debacle?  Yes, we enjoyed ithe mountains, too, and its an excellent idea to go en masse next time.  Hopefully we'll be there (without the rain).

Where to eat...or not! / Where to eat?
« on: September 22, 2003, 04:39:10 PM »
Here is the result of the Best jury:

Plateia - Myrthios      12 points  tremendous food, good atmosphere views to die for
Mythos - Damnoni     10 points  fresh fish, delicious
Mytos - near church    8 points  good food (and good raki- Peter)
Manoussos                 6 points  traditional taverna, very friendly
Alianthos                    4 points  Good food, huge portions
Medousa                    2 points   Great atmosphere, need I say more?
Secret Nest                Unfair to give nil points as the fish was great, too quiet.

This list is very subjective.  Over the years we have eaten in many other places and can't say we've had a disappointing meal anywhere.

Hi
Yes, we enjoyed another wonderful holiday, despite the wind.  Doesn't it get everywhere?  Great to meet everyone at Medusa.  Great pics, John.  Sorry we've none of Freddie or the donut man.  Good idea to have an annual reunion although to be fair, it may have to be more often than 'annual' to give others a chance.

The only place where I've heard of problems of theft is on Preveli beach.  There are safety deposit boxes at the Alianthos car rental office which we generally use, more in case of loss than theft.

Plakias / Countdown
« on: September 02, 2003, 06:41:53 PM »
I hope you will get as much out of Plakias as we do.  To us it is paradise, the only place we can truly relax.  Does anyone know about Ley (spelling?) Lines?  It was suggested to me that perhaps there are these lines in the hills behind which contribute to the peace and tranquility.  We have only 2 more days to go!!

Where to stay / HOTEL OASIS/PLAIAS
« on: August 15, 2003, 01:46:31 PM »
Don't know about the hotel and fridge availability, but the winds should have died down by then, unless you are unlucky enough to experience a south wind.

Plakias / Spending in Plakias
« on: August 12, 2003, 08:39:02 AM »
We use credit cards for car hire and also for our apartment rental ( they take cards), and then euros for the remainder.  We change here in UK at Marks and Spencers as we get a good rate there pay no commision.  We haven't found an exhange place in Plakias which doesn't charge commision.

Where to stay / Villa Ioanna
« on: July 31, 2003, 09:32:24 AM »
We have passed the Villa Ioanna may times and it looks good from the outside, although I know that looks don't always mean everything.  I am sure though that you will be very satisfied, after all, most accomodaios can be called 'basic' in Greece.  As for 5 minutes walk, well I think that is a bit optimistic, I think 10-15 more like.  There is a short cut down to Palegremnos beach, but the walk to Plakias, well downhill at a run, maybe, but the drag back up after a few beers maybe a different matter!  Just keep the noise down on the way back  as we are stayng at the top of the hill!!

Yes RobM, they were 'Old English' and weren't they delicious!!  They don't make them like that any more.  I used to love spearmint strips (bright pink) too, whatever happened to those?  It would appear we are in the same age band - ah. yes, I remember them well!

Plakias / Cheap Flights
« on: July 29, 2003, 05:38:46 PM »
The last two years we have booked with Britannia Direct as we found these offered the cheapest prices.  I do agree though that the earlier you book the more liklihood of cheaper flights.  We booked in January for September, but it's worth checking out.

What a great idea!!  The 9th  at 9 would suit us fine and we'll go with the majority as to the venue.  As we don't arrive until the 4th, it may be cutting it a bit fine, otherwise hey! our time is our own!!
