Welcome back.  €75 a night!  That's expensive!

Have a good holiday, Greecemad.

Thanks everyone. I had a great time and I'm back to the grind now. Didn't stay on Folegandros - couldn't find a room for less than 75 euro a night.

Greecemad

That's rediculous, what were the rooms like?

Stupid question really I don't suppose you even looked at them.
Still the Hiltons can be expensive at this time of year, so what were they, Hotels, apartments??

George,

I did look at the room. It was just a basic room, but as nearly all the rooms on the island were full she wanted the full price as displayed on the back of the door. The island is very popular with wealthy Greeks. I went once before, during the Olympics in 2004, and rooms were available at reasonable prices. It must have been because of the Olympics that the place was a lot quieter.

On other islands I was paying 25 or 30 euro per night, sometimes including breakfast.

My second best favourite Greek  resort is 'Parga' it's on the mainland but feels like you are on a small island !

Kingfisher seen in Paleohora in September 2007:



It was in the late afternoon and there were two of them working a 300 metre stretch of the rocky eastern side of the peninsula on which the town is built.  They seemed to have a regular circuit of about 6 places on which they would perch for 20 to 30 seconds at a time.  We never saw them actively fishing but assume that was their purpose despite it being salt water.

That is a superb photo.

We nearly always see kingfishers at Plakias (we did this September while sitting on a bench at the harbour). Without fail we see them at Aghia Galini.

Jann:

We love Parga nearly as much as Plakias and Thassos Town.

We find he walking in that area ito be second to none and the Tavernas to be almost as good as those in Plakias.

We are to return there in early May next year, to stay at Valtos Beach for 2 weeks.

So next year it's Parga in May and Plakias in late September.

Could anything be better?

   Oooh, lucky you Daniel. I'm so jealous
 
You can get some fantastic olive oil in one of the little shops in Parga, can't remember the name of it now  

 I have also been to Thassos and visited Thassos town which is lovely, but stayed in Limenaria.  

  Happy Days !
