Harumphhh!   >:(
I get emails from Olympic but I certainly didn't get the 12 islands of Christmas promotion sent to me!!!! I'll have words with them. No - fat chance of that - communication with Head Office is difficult to say the least. Well done JB Mouse on your bargain.

ooh - If you've already booked then it may be a bit late (unless you perhaps amend the departure dates with Olympic) but from my local airport - Tuesdays have transfers only -  but this year, Olympic are offering other departure days too, but they don't include transfers . Perhaps there are transfers from your airport if you choose and alternative day??? just a suggestion.

Holiday Companies / Re: Easyjet

I just had a peek at Jet2 for EMA and compared to Olympic Holidays as an option. I noticed that Olympic (package holidays- not flight only) are now including the Friday Jet2 flights to HER "later" in the season - GREAT I thought - but then I noticed that the price does not include transfers on Fridays - you have been warned.
Keep looking people and share your observations - we all love a bargain (well I do anyway).

Where to stay / Re: Costas Chrysoulas - across the road

Do you mean the Ouranos- opposite Minikos restaurant?. We were lucky enough the other year to be allocated room 902. A polite email request to C.C. for similar carried no weight however when returning this September, nor for preferred alternative rooms in C.C.'s main block as an alternative which we liked from previous visits. Got palmed off with the Coralli studios opposite C.C. main block and NO sunshine till mid afternoon. Was not a happy chappie but ..... had to make the best of a bad situation which considerably reduced the WOW factor of the holiday this time around. Best of luck on your endeavors as the Ouranos appts are fabulous. Give him his due - he was extremely busy/full this Sept/Oct but as a returning customer 5 times I was hoping for something better!! Still not got over it as you can tell!!!Bah!!! Plakias however was FAB as usual.

Where to eat...or not! / Re: Harakas !

If that's the "French" place, then I give it the thumbs up - service great, portions were fine. I had the bekri meze (spicy pork- with chips AND rice) which was fab. Went back for my "last night" meal as it was my fave (although I tried the spicier Mexican pork instead - v. good too but preferred the bekri meze. I'll be returning for it again whenever next time is(???) Daza.

Plakias weather's looking well grim today with thunderstorms tomorrow. Is everybody home and snuggled up with the central heating on or are some of you still out there enjoying everything else Plakias has to offer??? Been back 9 days now and missing it - and had my boiler serviced (no jokes please) just in time for our own foul weather to come.D

More details in the above websites but in short

Higher prices due to tax hike from today - 20 July, 2015

The standard VAT rate and the reduced rate are still 23% and 13%, respectively, while the super-reduced rate is 6%. The 30% reduction in the islands continues to apply and these rates stand at 16%, 9% and 4%. (Recall that the abolition of this scheme for tourist islands will take effect from 1 October 2015).
