great review gavlah

we only done 1 week this time due to the fact wales done very well at euros and France aint a cheap place ... was also a part of the group of 35 for my sisters birthday party , we stay at spiradoula near margaritas supermarket old end . family are truly top of the range . due to short stay it was hard to get all favourites in and also let the kids eat where they chose .

first night tasty corner due to lateish flight

2nd romanza . table for 10 accomodated superbly , also picked up by andreas father and offered lift back but the downhill walk was relaxing after a few drinks and good food
3rd brusko . superb food and great atmosphere . maria and costas and all staff help the night fly by
4th barras . usually our 1st night and cant fault the place . giorgiou dimitri and family were quite busy but always attentive as usual . complimentary beer ,wine and panacotta at the end of the night was extra touch
5th manthos . kids love the bolognese in there . i love the fish .. wife loves the setting .
6th fantasea . setting is spot on . fresh fish is great and kostas is a very good host , was quiet though
7th olympia . sisters birthday party . great night  , great food again as usual . good to see him busy as well as feeding 35 at one time too.. usually chill out there after food but we had a bar crawl to go on ..
ate at tasty corner on the sunday before flying back at 21;00

great nights had in acabar , 3w , beer oclock , athens and gutted to miss out on so many other places
1st time ever we never done the condor at least once but thats only due to the fact the kids have grown up and go on their own now lol . 

most days on the beach , weather good after a dullish start monday tuesday , jazzmine pool otherwise or silver moon for diving championships

just about got time to relax a bit but wished we done longer

highlights for me was the last minute after party that margarita and chrystantho put on for my sister after her birthday party . lastminute.com with  more cake ,shots and lots of music '   Plus the family we stay with never cease to amaze me in what they do for us. overall a great week just not long enough

roll on 2017

Safe to say Mythos will remain unchanged , along with ouzo , metaxa and all cocktails. Alcohol has been  23% VAT since before the "crisis" . Phew !!!!!!

Well the trombonists are always blowing their own trumpets, bakers have too much dough and hairdressers should think about taking a haircut ....I wont pass comment either , only to say "are you looking at my hymn sheet? " tough times ahead  methinks for the natives .

The rate is so uncertain Jimbo. At the mo we are receiving a great deal in comparison to recent years  but who knows where this will run, big decision this week for Greece and the eurozone. The money shop walk in rate today in our town branch is 1.3703 for cash . Never purchased just enquired because id never of given it a second thought without my mate telling me about them. Thought they were a payday cheque cashing thingy or pawn shop !!!  All in all good news for us and the resort too.

Anyone tried the money shop yet??.  Very good comparitive high street rate. Check it out , you, ll be suprised.  And they will usually negotiate up if you want enough.  Better as I write than any other high street chain. 1.3789 .... no commision .... an old paddy mate put me on to them, its all he uses for trips home .

San Stefanos news and views / scooter hire
« on: May 05, 2015, 02:13:13 PM »
Hi all, does anyone know the new correct procedure for hiring a scooter/car, buggy etc after june . I believe we now need a code from dvla but it only lasts 72 hours !!... which is ok unless you only hire a scooter as in my case randomly. I may hire it after 4 days , I may not but I cant help but think "how do people think these laws up ?"... I have read there may be a premium rate number to call if your 72 hour code has run out ?????. Love to hear Nikos reaction to this when we arrive in July .......

« on: February 19, 2015, 03:46:40 PM »
 Flights booked, crazy how one day they are nearly £400. Next day we get them for 220 . Goes to show you gotta keepya eye on the ball. July 26th till august 6th . Now to take advantage of fantastic rate. Will probably buy a few now n collect more each month, just hope they dont pull out of the euro... dont think  that will happen in next few months anyway but could make our hols even cheaper .
