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
Title: Re: Just booked for 2012 today!!!!!!!
Post by: Jules on September 18, 2011, 11:59:43 PM
I know. Some of the others are also 20kgs free as well
Title: Re: Just booked for 2012 today!!!!!!!
Post by: Denise on September 19, 2011, 03:51:43 PM
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.
Title: Re: Just booked for 2012 today!!!!!!!
Post by: Jules on September 20, 2011, 01:26:40 AM
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.
Title: Re: Just booked for 2012 today!!!!!!!
Post by: Denise on September 22, 2011, 03:51:27 PM
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.
Title: Re: Just booked for 2012 today!!!!!!!
Post by: Jules on September 22, 2011, 04:49:52 PM
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

Title: Re: Just booked for 2012 today!!!!!!!
Post by: Waspman on September 26, 2011, 12:01:00 PM
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!!

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.
Title: Re: Just booked for 2012 today!!!!!!!
Post by: Jules on October 01, 2011, 10:54:19 PM
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

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,

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.

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.

Post by: swedebasher on November 26, 2011, 02:09:17 PM
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!

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.

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.......

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!
Title: Re: Just booked for 2012 today!!!!!!!
Post by: Richard/Jackie/Nathan on April 18, 2012, 01:21:48 PM
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.

Thanks for your comments and I think we will have a good week by the sounds of it. We are looking forward to tryig a different part of the village as normally stay at Theodossia and are booked for Athens Bar in August.
