Where to go / Resorts similar to Plakias

« on: September 01, 2009, 07:52:04 PM »

We are intending to return to Plakias for a week next year, but would also like to stay at another resort that is similar to Plakias elsewhere on the Island, so that we can experience another area of Crete.

In the past we have stayed in Georgioupolis, but that is nowhere near as nice as Plakias and it has gone downhill since we stayed there 4 years ago.

So does anyone have any ideas, so that I can then do further research.

Thanks

Holiday Companies / Easyjet to Crete!

« on: January 01, 2008, 11:50:50 AM »

Just noticed on their website that there are no flights after 30 September - unless that is the date up to which one may book at the initial stage - doesn't look good for us October regulars


Happy New Year to everybody

Well I believe this is because Easyjet have 6 month schedules, and October is in thier Winter schedule, which is not on sale yet, then again, they may decide to not fly in October

Holiday Companies / Easyjet to Crete!

There is an easyjet advert in this morning's Guardian advertising flights from Gatwick to Crete (amongst other places like Mykonos and Corfu). There is no mention of which Crete airport and there is nothing about this on their website yet.

Gatwick is no use to us in the North, though.

Well according to the Easyjet website, they are flying to Heraklion from Manchester, though there are currently no details of the flights.

I am going to see what there is from Gatwick, and if cheaper, cancel my GB Airways flight.

Holiday Companies / BA - here we go again ?????

« on: October 27, 2007, 09:51:30 AM »

Well we had booked with BA for next August, as they were very good in May this year when we visited.

Not sure what is happening, but it will not be for the good, as Easyjet are a budget airline, and the price I paid for our flights 11 months ahead are not on a par with a budget airline price.

I would expect to of paid around a half of what I did booking that far in advance.

So I am not sure if we will visit next year now, as it depends on what Easyjet decide.

So having arranged everything, I might just have to unarrange!!.

Where to stay / Kostas-Chrysoulla Studios

« on: September 30, 2007, 07:18:23 PM »

Has anyone that booked at the Kostas and booked independently, find it strange that no deposit was asked for, as in years of doing it myself, I have always been asked for a credit card or a deposit!

Where to stay / Ouranos Apartments

« on: September 30, 2007, 07:15:48 PM »

Well we have now booked into a two roomed apartment as suggested previously for our holiday next August.

My only concern is that though it has been confirmed, there has been no request for a deposit, which I find peculier.

Will be interesting to stay in these apartments, as I have no idea exactly where they are, though we stayed close to them earlier in the year.

I have been informed that we would be in the block Uranos, does anyone who has been to Costas-Chrysoulla know anything about these apartments?

I am looking at next years holiday, and was wondering about this accommodation.

Are any of them 2 room apartments, so that my wife & I can have the bedroom, and my 2 children can sleep in the lounge/kitchen or whatever you want to call it?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I can confirm that they have exactly what you want at Kostas Chryssoula. We stayed there the first two weeks of July. We had booked through Neckermann. The apparment we had was actually called "Christina appartments", but they belong to the Kostas Chryssoula family. We had a room to ourselves, with balcony and bathroom and then a second very large room with a small kitchen in it and 2 single beds for our kids + a balcony. It was all very large and very clean. I do not know whether there are more such rooms in the other buildings (there are 5 different buildings), but I think there are ...

Can anyone tell me, if these apartments have air conditioning, as I believe it is really required, if we are going in August.

Plakias / new villas in plakias

« on: July 26, 2007, 03:45:17 PM »

Well My family & my In-laws stayed at the  villa alkisti in May.  

All I can say is that I do not believe any accommodation in Plakias will ever be able to live upto the luxury you had in this Villa.

We were spoilt, though next year it will be more down to earth, as it will only be the four of us, and these villas in August are too expensive for that number of people.

Where to eat...or not! / Lysseos

« on: June 02, 2007, 01:59:34 PM »

my turn to be the dissenting voice on this thread  (sorry uli, ems and roger), although i must say mandy really likes Lysseos, i don't rate it, i find the portion sizes too small, the food a little boring and the (female) staff indifferent to unfriendly

I would have to agree with this opinion, having ate there once, during the last week, our party were mot impressed

Holiday Companies / Low cost air lines links

the is a new service to heraklion with GB airways

GB Airways
[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=5479\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

    Well I have just booked flights for the end of May next year with GB airways. for 6 people.

The price was only £1040 including all charges, which was less than half the price of chartr flights for the same weekend. Also the flights are during the day, so no night flights for a Friday.

Just have to confirm my accommodation now!!

Where to stay / musicman

« on: May 05, 2006, 03:31:27 PM »

No, I have not been to Plakias since June 2002, when we stayed in the Oasis.

Next year we intend to go at the end of May, for half term, as my daughters will br 6 & 3. This means that the Oasis is too far out from the town, with two young children, so we are looking at apartments closer in.

Where to stay / Apartments with access to pools

« on: May 03, 2006, 02:26:13 PM »

Can anyone advise on any apartments that have a swimming pool, or that have access to a pool.

My younf children, 6 & 3 prefer the pool for part of the day, as they go off the beach after a hour or so.
