Where to stay / Little Prince?
« on: September 08, 2013, 04:23:32 PM »
Apologies as I know it has probably been posted before, but are the Little Prince studios large enough for 2 adults and a 2 year old?
We need somewhere near Margarita's for family next August and cost/lack of reasonable flights are making it very difficult to justify all going independently.
It looks like Thomson is our only choice and we need accommodation for 4 adults and a child in total.
I know there is a lift there which is also a bonus as my husband (with scooter) can access them, just a bit concerned the family might feel a bit squashed in a studio.
Thanks for your thoughts/ opinions.

Information and help please / Re: Taxi from Airport to Little Prince
« on: May 10, 2013, 09:53:08 PM »
We also go by taxi booked through SS Travel. We are allowed to take an electric scooter on the flight, but not on the transfer bus even though it is light weight and collapses easily.......therefore we have no choice!
That said however, as we are "flight only" Thomson customers ( we book accessible accommodation separately with Noula) we have to pay almost as much on additional coach transfers anyway so we are happy to pay the bit extra for convenient taxi.
We have used the taxi transfer from SS Travel several times now and are really impressed!
Roll on 26/7 when we will be using it again!

Where to stay / Woohoo!

After a pretty rubbish 18 months health wise for my husband, we decided last night to take a long shot and email Noula just to see if she had any disabled friendly accommodation for any time over the summer.
It was hard to imagine that the accessible suite at Margarita's would be available but worth a try!
Absolutely delighted to find that we could book two weeks from July 26th. Booked flights from Exeter and hey presto, we're heading back. Can't believe we've been able to sort it so quickly and easily!
Not the cheapest holiday we will probably ever have, but I can't imagine one more desperately needed!
Thanks again Noula.........get ready to get on that scooter!!

Haha! That's exactly what happened to us when we went! Scarpered PDQ (ok, maybe not that fast with a wheelchair but we tried) and were never tempted back. Total contrast to every other place we have visited during five visits!

We had great fresh fish at Fantasea, Mistral, Nafsica and Sunset last year. The best was at Sunset - absolutely delicious!

When our children were young we would holiday in France, either camping in a trailer tent or in a self catering Pierre et Vacances apartment if we were skiing.
Having scraped together the money for the basic holiday, I have to admit we did pack up the car with food as everything always seemed sooooo expensive in France (except the wine of course).
We rarely ate out and even this year when we skied we did the same as we knew that the small shops would be very expensive and that paying €5.50 for a coffee on the mountain would eat into our budget pdq!
Having said that it is so, so much nicer in Corfu as we are able to eat out every night...what a luxury compared to cooking on the tent stove.
We did however take the basics with us on both visits this year and we simply can't afford to eat lunch out every day too.
I guess we all do what we have to do moneywise so we can access a few weeks of well deserved relaxation!

We have met the same italian family for the last three summers at the Manthos end of the beach. They now come with brother and family so there are more of them to spread out but are always pleasant.
This year we met a group of "younger adults" (ie than me)!! with a gorgeous little girl who we met eating out in the evenings on several occasions too....Yiannis made us laugh as he kept whispering how crazy they were!
To be honest I like being next to ppl of different nationalities as I can 'tune the noise out' much more easily than if I can understand the conversation, I can't help but earwig!....Give me them over loud british folk anytime.
Our meal at Yiannis's one night was much more pleasant in between two large groups of italians than it would have been if we had been over the road....the racket being made at the Mythica by one group of incredibly loud and gobby brits was terrible.
Sorry if it was anyone on here! haha!!

On the hygiene front.....we watched him from the hammock swings in Margarita's garden...he got out the car, wiped his sweaty head with a hanky, cut the melon and rinse his hands in the stream.... in that order!!
Tempted? I think not!

With regards to Fantasea...one man's meat etc....

We too went in June and were the only people in the restaurant. We had a fantastic meal... Kostas and his father were wonderful; attentive, helpful and informative re the fish we had and the old family recipe they used to cook it.
Fabulous view/sunset...it was almost as though Richard had hired the place exclusively for a romantic dinner a deux!!
(Yeah right)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We will be back!

Think we were there at a similar time Iris, and we ate great food at; Sunset,Mythica,Nafsika,Manthos, Fantasea and twice at Mistral.
We've decided we seem to particularly like the "old end" of the village - looking forward to our return visit in August, just to make sure!
