Title: End October
Post by: benson on September 11, 2011, 07:38:39 PM: Hi,

Been to Agios Stefanos many, many times but never at the end of October.

Me and the wife were looking at a long weekend in York or Chester but Ryanair flights mean that it's cheaper to go to AS.!!

Has anyone ever been the last week of October ? It's the last week of the season I think.

I'm wondering if it will all be open ? And what kind of weather we can expect (don't expect a tan top up !)

4 nights with flights, accomodation and car hire £350 - bargain :)

Thanks for any comments

I think the weather will be just a gamble. We were on the beach first week in October some days. Evenings were sometimes quite cool. Just have to take it as it comes, I guess! Still - with a car you could visit some of the pretty villages around. Hey - it's fun and you don't need to turn the central heating on!

most places close on the third week, but enough open to enjoy the holiday, as the people gather in the open places, so still fun!

After looking around it seems that the last thomson flight out is Friday 28th Oct.

So we are now going between 13th and 17th Oct.

Does anyone know the email address for Costas at Gravia. Will trek the hill if he's open you see.

Thanks,

better still go to Terezas for BBQ night (wed), good prices, loads of good Greek dancing and great food too,
it was the best night of our holiday!
