stopped at spiradoula with the most wonderful family you could ever meet . cleaned every day , fresh tomatoes ,limes, cucumbers supplied as soon as they noticed we were running low . cant express how great this family is , next years jolly already booked with them as usual ,just awaiting flights. We were bit apprehensive of first time flying with Bryan air but i gotta say they were great. on time going out and 30 mins early coming back . basic seating  but its only for 3 hours . son had 3 seats to himself coming back !! 3 members of the family had a week at jasmine pool bar and it was a great place too . Spiros made them feel very welcome , even organising our transfers , nice brekkie there and snacks and drinks thru the day very good . 2 storms whilst we were there but luckily in the early mornin so no disturbance really !!!

Thanks , wasnt sure, not too far a trek 5am with camera n coffee

pretty good news regarding extra MYTHOS vouchers . could be a bumper year for the locals .

These recent moves by the ECB are certainly negative for the Euro but it is taking a long time for these factors to reflect in the Euro’s value, we don’t expect anything drastic here, just a slow erosion of the Euro’s value,” said a senior Euro trader today, “we just intend to sell the Euro on any rallies,” he added. The prospect of the Bank of England raising rates well before its peers in Europe is certainly holding the Pound up against both the Euro and Dollar. Sterling forecasters are sitting on their hands before the wage and house price figures due for release later this week, any sign of a weaker housing market or lower job creation could translate to a Sterling sell off and lower rates versus the Euro, Dollar, Australian Dollar and Yen. -

if these latest figures thursday are good  , it could be 3 goes on the paraglider  too !!!

 Olympia- Stelios n family great hosts, food always decent 3 visits last year A1
Romanza-Superb food , great atmosphere and reasonable prices , even had last round of drinks  on house, hill bit of a climb but nothing crazy, host even offered to take us back to village, cant believe it was 1st time there in 14 years visiting san stef, a definite return this year
Perros-Again 1st time eating one night when it was very windy they couldnt do enough , good prices and a tour of apartments for the wives
Barras- Love George and the family, s  happy cheerful characters always feel at home here
Waves- great for chilling while using the beach
Havana- great for chillin also in the day

To be fair the resort is all good , pretty much get what you want at most times,

Hi all . I believe the old sundowner is reopening this summer, cant find anything on fbook page , wondered if anyone had any info,  always stay with the owners of this bars family and very nearly invested in it 2009 . Only to bottle it at last minute , thank god due to mini recesiion and tax changes in greece. Always loved the place when mick n helen had it . July 27th soon be here ..

ryanair fly from manchester ..got great deal for 27th july 2014 . with bags etc 4 passengers £766 all in .. early flight 6.05 but on the plus side arrive to a whole day ... flight back is a day flight !!!!!

would have recommended sunset until this year . for some reason there is only a snack menu now. Evinos looks very good , the day we decided to go there this year it was blowin a gale !! menu looks good
