I was going to retort that the discount was not real, and to tell people to beware of Greek holiday companies bearing gifts. I had a price at the top of our budget last week and we were still mulling it over, and thought when I got the email that a £200 discount for the two of us would be very acceptable... However, when I looked at the same holiday yesterday it was nearly £200 more, taking it completely out of our range. Olympic had taken off the online discount and put the price up, then put on the advertised £100.
I started looking elsewhere, with other companies, and today decided to check again. Well, wonder of wonders, the price had come down to slightly lower than the original price. I checked in a bit later with the intention of booking, and it was down by another £60. I phoned, and by using loyalty bonus points as well, got a week in August at Kosta Chrysoulla for £800 for two, which for all of you who are able to go out of season and may not realise, is a very good price.
So, yippee, we will be back in Plakias 4-11 August, and free of teenagers. We have taken along a friend for our daughter for the past three holidays, now it's the turn of her friends' parents!
I know Dave&Les are there, and I hope to meet Barny (who has put his holiday dates into the calendar).
