Where to go / Other resorts

Yes, the weather is unreliable in Corfu, we've been there a couple of times when we've had the odd day where it's pissed down!
   As far as St. George's South goes, we went there in 1995, the rubbish wasn't too much of a problem, just an abundance of seaweed washed up from previously rough seas.What I like most was the walk along the main road with the variety of bars and restaurants (I think we did every one!).
   Agios Gordios (can be quite confusing as there'a a St. George's South, Agios Gordios - which as you probably know means St George, and Agios Georgios North) is a lovely little resort that has very little vehicular traffic, a few bars and restaurants dotted about, a lovely beach, and not much else.To some I suppose it would seem a little "too quiet!"

Me and my wife have been going on holiday to the Greek Islands since 1994 when we had our honeymoon in Acharavi,Corfu.
     Since then we've been back to Corfu twice (St. Georges South and Aghios Gordios),Rhodes twice (Lindos on both occasions), and Zakynthos twice (Alikes on both occasions).
     The only times we haven't been back to Greece is once when we took a holiday in Kenya, when we've been renovating the house, and when our dog was too ill to be left in unexperienced hands.
     I bought a touring caravan 2 years ago as we were finding times a bit hard, but I sold that in October after getting racked off with our weather and booked us a 2 week holiday in Plakias!  

   I thought Corfu was cheap, but then went to Zakynthos and for the first time ever had a holiday were I could eat whatever I fancied and get sloshed virtually every night and still have money to take home and buy 200 fags to go home with and a nice watch on the plane.
    Lindos was pretty, quaint, as hot as hell with a few degrees added on, but a little bit dissapointing as the younger generation seem to have rowdied it up a bit, but knowhere near as say Benitses in Corfu, but the beach there is grand.

PlakChat / First visit to Plakias

Hi all!

Me and my wife are going on a 2 week holiday to Plakias in July this year.We are self-confessed Grecophiles,but we are usually in the Ionians when we go away,apart from the two occasions we've been to Rhodes.
    I have been to Crete before,but that was back in 1988 with 9 workmates and we stayed in Aghios Nikolaos,the rest of the holiday was an alcohol-induced blur!
    We're staying in Lamon Aporthotel (I'm sure you'll have lots of things to say about that!),but all we require in accomodation is somewhere to put our weary heads down for the night, and somewhere to wash, etc.
    From what I've read and seen about Plakias, I'm sure we're going to have a great time as we don't do "Rowdy", even though we do like to occasionly have a "mad one"
    If any of you regulars are in Plakias during the "arse end" of July, then perhaps we can meet up and have a giggle!
     
    All the best to all!

 Chris Harris.
