Well, you all told us we would love it and we did! ;D
I've just booked again at Tereza's for August 31st 2012 and it can't come soon enough. :D
What a wonderful place it is. I've got to wait a year now though! :-[
-
Booking ours for then so will see you next year
-
Great. That'll nice to meet you both.
-
All booked fo then Denise - so will see you next year - 50 weeks to go :)
-
Return flights for july now released by Easyjet. Booked within 90 minutes of returning home yesterday.
-
We will be there then too, 24th Aug to 3rd Sept so may be meet you too :)
-
Where are you staying Soulie ? We met Angela (Sunshine) this year and it's always good to put faces to the names .
-
... it's always good to put faces to the names .
I can think of one or two exceptions !!!
-
Why do the Teresa only have 15kgs free luggage and others such as Barras have 20kgs free? Extra 5kgs costs extra to make it up to 20kgs
-
Thats strange Jules as they both with thomsons
-
I know. Some of the others are also 20kgs free as well
-
We had 20kilos with Tereza's this year for free but had to pay the extra for
next years holiday.
We usually manage about 16kg in one case and about 18 in the other.
Can't get it down to 15kg so had to pay the extra or else I'd worry.
-
Couldn't risk having only 15kgs. Rather pay the extra and know we are ok.
-
Just done a week with carry on baggage only. Saved £60. Absolutely no problem with what we could carry.Both brought home unworn clothes. We didn't spend half of the baggage saving on toiletries and sun tan products. Could probably do it for a fortnight with a pocket sized camera, combats to carry MP3's, buy beach towel for €5 and dump. Must buy a Kindle too. Could easily keep everything down to manageable weights. We were totally shocked by how easy it was.
-
If you read a lot, e-books make a huge difference. We've lugged several forests around the world in the past. I just bought 6 books for Gillie's Kindle (yes I know I'm a very kind idiot) and the weight is zero.
-
We paid £1014 for the 2 of us for 2 weeks the price now is over £1200 and they are showing as only 1 room left at Teresa so glad we booked when we did.This years holiday cost £900.00 but that didn't incude breakfast so we think we have got a fair price.
-
We paid more than you as we changed the flight from Gatwick to the earlier flight which we like.
We also paid for extra legroom as I get a bit claustraphobic on board.
I think it's very good value compared to this years prices as we too didn't have breakfast this year and of course we have to next year.
I'm in my lunch hour at work, so I can't remember exactly what we paid but it is somewhere around £1200. I'll have a look when I get home.
That also includes extra baggage allowance.
-
Our price includes the extra 5kgs at £15.00 per person but not extra leg room - (2 shorties here) May book prebooked seats nearer the time. Also next year we are having a minibus both ways with 4 of our friends after this years debacle for the transfers.

Crikey the prices have gone up a lot over the last couple of years - when we stayed at Teresas in June 2009 it only cost us £800 B&B for 2 weeks.
In 2010 we booked Easyjet from BTL and we stayed at Fedra Mare - total cost then was around £700.
We didn't come to SS this year but i did look for next year - Teresas too expensive for what it is, so i looked at Ejet and that was reasonable at £120 return each - add in a stay at Fedra Mare and it would've cost around £650 with a taxi transfer.
However, we've decided against it again for 2012 due to cr#p flight times from BTL with Ejet and Thomsons being too expensive.
Maybe we'll be back in 2013.

For two of us in July 2012, one week at The Athina and two weeks at The Romanza including 2 x Easyjet flights and taxi transfers both ways is £1150 total, can't be bad!!

hi,we are hoping to go back to san stef next yr but thompson prices have gone up a few hundred on what we paid this year,so how do you go about booking independently,there would be 12/15 of us,so could this still be done do you think
thanks
debs
-
A wee bit difficult with so many people I think debs, with only 2-4 it's easier as the hotels wouldn't have the capacity for your group as their private bookings are limited. Thomsons have the lions share of accommodation, as usual!!

thought that might be the case,but thanks anyway

we have been sat in travel agents 3 hrs today trying to book next yrs visit to san stefanos,because there are 15 of us and we need to go in 6 weeks hols its been a nightmare,we have ended up with 2 families flying out on the 20th july and the other 3 familes on monday the 23rd july,4 families have managed to get back in at the athina,the 5th family have had to stay at barras and go self catering,its not ideal but its the only way we could all holiday together.
-
At least you will still be together during the day and also the family you have at Barras could still eat at The Athina as well
-
having stayed at the athina this year,we are going to try self catering at vickys ,early june whats it like;thanks.
-
It's great.Can't complain about anything.
We've booked to go back for the fourth time on 4th June,
so we could be there at the same time as you are.
-
Andy's up from Kapetanios will be totally indie next summer 2012 so you can pm me for group rates
-
Vicky's are in a great location, fab views over the beach and sea.
-
all booked up for 28th may 11 nights at vickys,something to look forward to through winter.
-
Booked today for 24th August staying at the Barras
-
That's great. We'll cross over on one week then. Glad you got that week.
-
We have other friends staying at Barras from 31st August so no doubt will see you in there at some point
-
Booked today for 24th August staying at the Barras
we have friends staying there in july who couldnt get into the athina with the rest of us,so im hoping its ok for them
-
We are booked in Athens bar 20th August - 3rd September. Not got flights yet as was thinking of Easyjet from Manchester but they only have flights up to end of August at the minute. Does any one know when or if they will release them for September as well? We could do Jet2 from Leeds again but as we live in Manchester I would prefer to go from there and Easyjet seem about the same price even though the flight times are slightly worse.
-
Booked for 2 weeks from 2nd July at Fedra Mare again. Going earlier this year as I don't want to miss any of the Olympics. Bit of an anorak when it comes to the Olympics. :-[
-
Hi Tredegar Boy, we are staying at the Athens_Bar Apts for 2 weeks from the same time,
Hope to see you there, also I believe we may see Waspman at the same time too!
-
You could well see us in 2012 Tony, we're at The Athina Hotel from 29th June 2012 for 1 week then up to The Romanza for a further two weeks, might see you in the Athina bar where we'll be having a drink with Spiros.
-
That would be great, I'll even get the beer in!
-
Now booked for the Little Prince again flying from Edinburgh on 1st June. No budget flights from Scotland yet I'm afraid so it's back with Thomsons once more. Jet2 do go from Newcastle but prices weren't that cheap and a Monday flight and the departure times didn't suit. Paid £562 per person with £30 off the total. A little more than last year but at least we're booked.
-
With all the malarkey over Thomas Cook, I checked our booked ones for next year with Thomsons in Tsaros, and found they had gone up by £46 each person for the May one!! Obviously a good business opportunity here!
-
Thomson's never miss a trick!!
-
Hi all. It's been a while since I have posted but I could not wait to tell you all that the wife and I have booked into the Little Prince, 22nd June for two weeks. I do realise that most of the regulars have probably covered this subject over and over again, so sorry to ask but can you give me any useful info on the Little Prince accomodation. I remember jimbo in the past mentioning the place. Thanks in advance.
-
Have a look at the LP website: http://www.thelittleprince.gr
There's a lot of really elegant prose there written by (cough) me. Ask any supplementaries - happy to oblige.
-
Just another 198 days to go !!!
-
And a little more for us!!
It's windy and icy here - -where is that summer beach!
-
Sun's out again today, blue skies and a very light breeze. Temps around 17c. Nights are cold and damp now so logs cut and fire blazes after 6pm once the sun has disappeared and the dark is upon us. Wishing you a great weekend.......
-
E-Mail came round at work today asking us to put in for next years leave.... Every where else I've worked you knew in August when your next years hols were!

Jimbo, thanks. I knew you would come up trumps. Sorry for the delay with the reply. Been busy, honest!

Our friend Alan & Carole just booked the LP as well.
It was advertised at far too high a price, then it reduced substantually for one weekend,
they booked immediately, and on monday it shot back up!! Crazy!
-
Just trying to work out if we can afford a cheeky week in June as well as our 2 weeks in August. Looks like around £600 with Thompsons so could be going for this in the next couple of days - as long as the finances will stretch!
-
Sorted 11h June, 7 days in the Romanza for £600 for the 2 of us. Finally achieved our aim of going twice in one year!!
Never stayed that far up the hill before so a bit of a new experience as well.
-
Stunning views and amazing service!!
Make sure you eat up there a couple of times....saves your legs and the food is amazing!!
-
It's a long way up the hill, take your oxygen mask and join a gym to get fit before you go.

I am sure you will have a great time at the Romanza.I highly recommend the Sunday Greek night.
If you have any questions about the hotel drop me a PM.I will be pleased to help if I can.
