Where to eat...or not! / best for single woman

« on: April 18, 2010, 10:07:40 PM »

I will be in Plakias in just over 2 weeks and will be alone for the first time, my last trip was in 1992 so I'm out of touch, I would be grateful for any suggestions as to where are the best places for a single woman to go ?


Thanks Jann

Hi Jann,

Harakas on the front is lovely, very friendly lady owner who will make you welcome. The tables are situated so you don't have to be in the middle of lots of people and can sit to the side.
I really hope you have a good break and a relaxing time

Lin

Oh thanks Lin,

I've just looked on the map and I know where it is now. I'm staying at Kostas Chrysoulla so it'll be quite handy.    

thanks for your wishes I'm sure it'll be great, Plakias is 'special'

Jann  

I think you are very strong doing the trip on your own Jann, I'm thinking about whether I could manage it later this year alone as my husband passed away in December and we have been going there for the last 17 years with only a year or two break. Let me know how you get on it may give me the confidence! x

PlakChat / Luggage Allowance

It's still 20kg with Thomas Cook

not on the flight i've booked for next month!

Curious - our flights for 9 Sept. from Stansted were booked last year. Maybe they've reduced the allowance since then.

Our tickets that arrived yesterday still say 20kg flying from Bristol with XL

Where to go / Zante - request for recommendations

« on: April 18, 2006, 10:13:13 PM »

Hi Graham and Karen
We were in Argassi  a few years ago and managed to find a 'suitable' beach at Gerakas, it is also known as the Turtle Beach, just walk to the end!
It is past Porto Zorro and keep going to the end of the road. We had a good holiday there, you will need a motorbike or car to get there. There are other beaches too, try Cap'n Barefoots website for more info.
