PlakChat / Re: Plakias-On My Own ?
« on: August 07, 2013, 08:24:12 PM »
Thanks all !

Just checked back on the site today for the first time since I got back !

Yes I did go -I have been back now about 5 weeks-seems like a long time ago now though -as I have since been redundant from my long time job-so it never rains but it pours !

It turned out I had quite a nice holiday-stayed at Alianthos Beach-where the staff were very friendly and helpful.Memories were everywhere but after the initial couple of days-not too bad. Once I had got over being on my own after about 2 or 3 days I got into a good routine and even quite enjoyed the evening meals on my own !

I did Samaria Gorge and went to Argiroupolis for a couple of days-which were the highlights.

Not sure when I will be back though !


Take care

How long would it take to walk to Lefkogia -in the cooler evening say ?

Any ideas ?

Where to go / Argyroupolis-Accomodation and Tips ?
« on: June 11, 2013, 10:29:32 AM »
Hi There,

My idea is that I will venture out to Argyroupolis on my trip-does anyone have any tips etc though ?

I think I will be looking to stay 2 nights so I can fully investigate what sounds like a fascinating village/area (only having read what the Rough Guide says).

The bus seems to go twice a day from Rethymnon-early morning and late afternoon-thats a tricky decision on which bus to go for also.

Anyone know of good accomodation-or is there plenty-I am guessing that there are plenty of daytrippers but maybe not that busy with overnight stays-but I could be wrong.


Thanks !

Thanks everyone..you have all been a great help..

I'm not sure what I will do yet..but what you have said will certainly help when I make a decision (probably on the night before the flight !)

I guess its a choice between -sit round weeping in rainy London or sit round weeping in the hot sun !

Thanks

PlakChat / Plakias-On My Own ?
« on: May 28, 2013, 09:58:12 AM »
Hi There,

I am just going through the break up of my long standing relationship-20 years or so..which is a nightmare to be honest. I am not coping very well/not sleeping or eating much either.

Now the thing is we had booked 2 weeks in Plakias in Mid June..staying at Alianthos

Not sure whether now to go on my own or not-there will be memories as we have been going since early 90's on and off-but will it be too much to go ?

But does anyone have any comments to make -whether I should go ?

Thanks for help

Holiday Companies / Olympic-Will they give lift (Flight Only)
« on: March 18, 2013, 02:04:01 PM »
Hi,

I wonder if anyone knows whether the Olympic transfer coach would give you a lift to Plakias if you have booked a Flight Only ..maybe for a small fee ?!!

Shall I contact them maybe ?

Many Thanks !

Where to go / Paleochora
« on: October 07, 2010, 02:13:06 PM »
Hi There Plak People,

I have been many times to Plakias and quite frankly we love it !

Anyway was thinking of going back to Paleochora (went once a few years back and rather liked it).

However the crux of the matter is that there seems to be no holidays companies that do Paleochora from the UK !

Anyone know anything different ?..I thought someone like Simply Crete would have done it..but it seems not.

Anyway I look forward to any answers !

Thanks


Rob

Plakias / Medousa

This is very good news.

My better half and I were about 10-15 metres away when this happened right outside the Hotel Livikon as we were walking back from the beach.

I must say we did fear the worst at the time-as it was very harrowing.

We asked about a couple of days later and the consensus was he was "ok".

Holiday Companies / Itinarary Change from Santa Maria-Olympic

Cheers Graham & Karen !

Ahh..that name does ring a bell...who used to use them then...was it Kosmar ?

Its a shame that no UK company uses Apollon anymore..I quite liked it there !

Thanks again

Holiday Companies / Itinarary Change from Santa Maria-Olympic
« on: May 28, 2009, 08:56:41 AM »
Thank Mike for your reply. I guess its the sign of the times !

I'm glad to hear about the prices though !

Now here's a question about Kostas/Chrysalou ??!!

We stayed a few years ago in a block just up from KC....was smaller..but it had a pool round the back...and you got to KC by walking down the side of the pool. Is that block actually part of KC ?...I can't remember for the life of me !

Thanks

Holiday Companies / Itinarary Change from Santa Maria-Olympic
« on: May 23, 2009, 01:23:19 PM »
Hi All,

I have just been informed that I have been moved from Santa Maria to Kostas Chrysoulla because  and I quote "..due to a reduction of our low season allocation.."

My holiday is in 4 weeks time (late June) and frankly we are a bit gutted by this...we have stayed at KC twice before many years ago...and we booked SM because it was out of town a bit and looked nice !

Anyone got any ideas on this....we guess that maybe they havent had many booking at SM and are moving everyone to KC so every one is in the same place..

But thats just my take on it..

Fom 1 very dissappointed traveller..

The upside is that we are still going to Plakias...but..

Not very happy today
