Can anyone tell me what the prices are like this year for eating out, drinks etc compared to last year. Am lucky enough to be squeezing an extra week in this Friday as well as our main August holiday and was wondering how much spends to take. Staying at the marvellous Athina holel on a B & B basis only so will be eating out every night. Thank you.

2010 food and beer prices

UPDATE ON FOOD AND BEER PRICES FOR 2010
From several reliable sources in San Stafanos last week, apparently, in the closed season the restaurateurs of the town held a meeting to fix prices for the forthcoming season.
The results were that:
1 Any 2 course set meal will be no lower than 6.00 Euros.
2 Any 3 course set meal will be no lower than 9.00 Euros.
3 Any half litre of beer will be no lower than 2.50 Euros.
NOTE These are minimum (not maximum prices) prices.
All in all, the prices of food and beer are fairly unchanged from last year, so still very good value considering that VAT was 19% and is now currently 21% and is due to rise to 23% within the next couple of months.
Nearly all of the tavernas are adhering with the above agreements, I.E. Most, but not all have adopted the set meal agreement, and again most but not all have adopted the fixed price beer, Nafsika, Mythica, Condor, Little Prince have kept the beer prices to 2.50 Euros, The Romanza Hotel have raised theirs to 3.00 Euros
For the self catering visitors the supermarket prices are very high compared to the UK, a breakfast cereal in UK is £1.00 and in San Stef it is 5.20 Euros, pro rata for many other products

Now then. Looking at your log in name, are you by any chance a fellow sufferer? (Commonly known as a Leeds fan!!)
If so then I'll be there also towards the end of August..........we could swap tales of woe!

As you both live in Leeds it seems likely!
By the end of August we could well have had Hull - 3 Leeds - 0 :-*
-
Ah yes
Just spotted she lives in Leeds!!
It will be an interesting season. I wonder how many games I'll miss due to my hols. Dont know why I buy a season ticket as I always go on hols at the same time and miss a few!
-
General consensus is very similar to last year - maybe a touch dearer - but little in it!
Have a good holiday!!
-
Thank you all for your replies. They were very useful.. Yes I am a Leeds fan and have been very happy with the promotion. I had my photo taken with Jermaine Beckford and Simon Grayson a couple of weeks ago! We go to San Stef on Friday and again on 13th August. May see you all there. x x

We've played Manure the last two years and had holidays booked before the fixtures come out. Letting our box has paid for the hols. 2010/11 we may see them.

Letting your box? - - How rude!! LOL

:D :D :D Tony go stand in the corner ... at ONCE :o

With it being leeds it must be a orange box ;)

Surely that would be Glasgow Rangers?
-
I believe you are both wrong, the "orange Box" is the new stand at Portsmouth!! LOL
-
Surely that would be Glasgow Rangers?
OR Blackpool (mind you we are talking big boys football here) Leeds can't rem those days ;D
-
Surely that would be Glasgow Rangers?
now now don ;)

Don is re-designing Stokes Kit = Tartan stripes!!
-
Leeds and Bradford airport here we come ;D
-
WOW They have a airport :o
-
Aye, lad. We do have airports in Yorkshire. Loads of 'em. We've got more airports than most other counties. That's because it's a big bugger, your Yorkshire.
We're going from Robin Hood airport (Doncaster/Sheffield) a month today. They've just brought out a fillum to celebrate it. You can tell that Russel Crowe's not from Yorkshire. Where's his good Tetley's beer belly, for a start? He's from frigging Australia, which makes him eight times a southern idiot.
Flying from Yorkshire's a lot better experience, luv. They don't bring all that poncy southern perfume around - they just get off the sacred ground and trained Thomson's whippets come down the aisle and say "Aye oop, petal... d'ya want a drink with your Yorkshire pudding?"
Then you're off for a couple of weeks of foreign muck, with nerrie a chip buttie in sight (except in Sidari) and by heck, when that plane comes back flying over the muddy cart tracks, the pig pens, the gritty old mills, and the towering Pennines you know you're back in God's country and reet ready for a curry!
The aircrew are brilliant, too. You don't any of that fake posh "We'll be flying at an altitude of.." stuff. When you leave the sacred runway at Donny, he'll likely say "Reet you lot. First we're going oop, then we're going flat for a bit, then we're going down. Bit like Hull City."
When you're on final approach he'll probably say "We're just going over Barnsley - no need to panic, we'll be all reet when we scrape the pigeon shite of t' windscreen!"
Next year we're getting Air Yorkshire. The world's first low carbon-emission ferret-powered airline. Book now, but be warned - anybody from south of Donny goes to't back of queue!

That were reet funny and i agree about Tetley belly (six pack my AR**) 1 keg will do me ;D
-
I agree that was funny. When I was reading I could almost imagine the accent ;)
-
Welcome to the crew Jimbo - nice one!!
If you can laugh at yourself - yer'al'reet!!
But word of warning!! My 27 Relatives from Sydney are all as tough as Yorkshire Tea
and are on their way to put you one to the wise - being as Aussie is the wrong way OOP!
Sydney would theoritically, be in the North if it was in our hemisphere!! - if you get my drift!! so they are all Northerners!!
The Croc Kickers are coming!! Better run now!!
By the way - My Dad's grandfather came from Stainland near Halifax - been there a few times now - nice country round there!!

Hi Tony
If you are really lucky you could have genuine Yorkshire blood in your veins.Your ancestors could have sailed to Australia with a Yorkshireman from my neck of the woods.Namely Captain James Cook. In fact you may be related to him.As Captain Cooks father was a Scot you could also be related to Don.
The mind boggles.

Wasn't Boggles a story book pilot who killed a radio star?
-
The world just cannot be that small - fortunately!! LOL (Sorry Don ;D ;D)!!

I thought Boggles were those loos the Japanese use...
-
Close Jim - ther's life there but not as we know it!!
Via Wickipedia:
In English folklore, a boggart (or bogart) is a household fairy (not Don this time!!), which causes things to disappear, milk to sour, and dogs to go lame. Always malevolent, the boggart will follow its family wherever they flee. In Northern England, at least, there was the belief that the boggart should never be named, for when the boggart was given a name, it would not be reasoned with nor persuaded, but would become uncontrollable and destructive.
It is said that the boggart crawls into people's beds at night and puts a clammy hand on their faces. Sometimes he strips the bedsheets off them. Sometimes a boggart will also pull on a person's ears. Hanging a horseshoe on the door of a house is said to keep a boggart away.
In the folklore of North-West England, boggarts live under bridges on dangerous sharp bends on roads, and it is considered bad luck for drivers not to offer their polite greetings as they cross.
The Scottish variant is the bogle (or boggle), or even a Don-bogel!!
(yes Don - you could be one!!). LOL

Update from san stef...Ce and Katie ate at aussie oil last night and it was v good Katies shoulders burnt (but nose ok).. the staff at the Athina as delightfull as ever.. bit cloudy this morning though, but they watched the Rhinos yesterday so my tales of a "yorkshire heatwave" have been dashed >:(
-
I think I should define the term,the mind boggles.This is due to the fact there appears to be a certain amount of misunderstanding among our learned members.
It means to startle the mind with fright or amazement.
What could be more frightening.Not the fact that Tony & Don could be related.I think we would all agree that they deserve each other.
It is the unacceptable possibility that either one of them could have a single drop of proud Yorkshire blood in their veins.
It is with heavy heart and to avoid any chance of this I have had Captain James Cook reclassified as a Scot.
This action has the benifit of.
1 Maintaining the proud Yorkshire blood line and so keeping it where it belongs as the Premier County.
2 Keeping Tony & Don north of the border and out of England thanks to Hadrians wall.There they can carry on their relationship and it will not be thought of as odd.
3 Ensuring freedom from their World Cup comments as they will no longer have any involvement.

After watching todays horror show against Japan what price would be available on us winning the Championship let alone the world cup?

I agree,in fact I switched it off and watched us finish 1st & 2nd in the Grand Prix.Not bad for a couple of southerners.

Sorry Yannis - I have to decline your offer of full Scottish Nationality!
Don however - is a very confused soul and tries to keep his options open - but he's quite a nice chap anyway!!
I have therefore escaped the Tartan Hordes - by doing what they all do, move to England in the back of a lorry and work in the Labour Party or the Police!!
(Just Joking - would never work for Labour!! - yuk!).
No - I am 1/4 Scottish - 1/2 Cornish - 1/8 Yorkshireman - 1/8 Londoner and was born in Singapore!!
My Fathers Brother emigrated to Australia aged 16 and I now have 27 close relatives in Sydney and surrounds, so I am a bit of an Aussie'ophile as well as an SS'ophile!!
Bit of a Mongrel - but all the better for it - and I live in -- - and support England first and foremost!!
I am also able to put behind me and move on from the wars of the roses, and those against what is now Wales, Scotland and Ireland (N & S).
Now I realise some people are stuck in a time warp - but not me!!
Funny thing is - I kind of always support the "Home Nations teams" when they play others, but they never support the English!! Funny bitter old world!!
Still I am above that (most of the time - anyway)!! LOL
-
I support any of the 4 British home international teams when they play other nations
I know Scotland or Wales don't support England against other teams in general, but Northern Ireland fans seem to
-
I don't support any country. Just can't get any emotional connection with international football. Probably because I'm 50% belonging to my parents countries of birth!
Did find Greece were brilliant 6 years ago! The atmosphere the night of the final was incredible! I only watched that because everyone in the Thomas bay wore Greek t-shirts that night. Probably won't watch a match in the world cup! Never bothered even when my cousin played in the French finals!
-
Sounds like you are a Heinz 57 Tony lol!!!!! ;)

I thought it was an incredibly subtle performance. It takes a lot of training for some of the world's (allegedly) finest players to come on and run around like headless chickens to such an extent that they depress the opposition into committing harakiri. Joe Cole nearly spoiled it by revealing a secret talent for football. Roonie's passing was abysmal.
It can't be any worse on the 12th. Oh no, don't say that...

It was just like watching Hull a la Tango LOL ::)
-
Well at least the penalty was taken really well as usual! - - - - - it was - - - wasn't it??
-
That was cruel. I don't like you any more. Boo hoo :'(
-
I think it may be our Achilles heel!! Penalty's - - but I live in hope! ;D
-
I didn't mean you, Tony. It's that Sandra that's cruel.
-
Jim - trouble is - you never know if it's Sandra or Don on Sandra's log-in!! (He's a bit of a cross-typer)!! LOL
Some of Sandra's entries are a touch "Don-esque" - either that or she really is cruel!! ;D 8) ::) ;D :D
-
I've just remembered we'll be in SS at the SAME TIME!
It's suddenly dawned on me the Sandra is probably one of the loveliest, kindest, and most beautiful women I'll ever meet.
-
Well she's kind to Don anyway!! LOL (she buys the beer)!
-
Don forces me to type things. If you could see what happened to our would be burglar this morning you'ld know why I do what I'm told. I think Don's taking up baseball as he bought equipment in DW Sports.
-
Sandra - no man should force you to type things, though, as a writer I have been known to ask for an occasional favour on the old querty board.
There is obviously some deep relationship issue here. We will have time to talk about it.
-
Don is using Sandra's laptop tonight - Sandra would never be so coarse!!
-
And Jim Bob is using Jules'........................ Q U ERTY ???
-
It is the new computer virus - Julespeak!!
-
Who's the Jim Bob? We should be told!
-
That'd be Don speak - (he can't help it) LOL
-
I think I'd better load a few psychiatric textbooks into my e-book before we leave.
Multiple personalities is a fascinating phenomenon!
-
Load five - just for Don!
-
Jim Bob, John Boy, Elizabeth, Erin etc! Lived on a mountain and were so goodie goodie!
-
God, I knew I'd read it somewhere!
-
Jimbo -
Would you agree that using your wife's laptop and her Pseudonym, is a bit like electronic internet cross-dressing?
He gets the boys hot, while sitting there at home in a pair of sweaty airtex Y-fronts, pumping querty keys like the phantom of the opera.
If only they knew!! ;D
It seems that last nights "Lovely Sandra", was about to have a shave, before retiring for the night! LOL
Still what ever turns you on!! -
To the real Lovely Sandra - have a wonderful day off and tell Don to get dressed - Yellow T-Shirt, red and white shorts as usual!
I hope he's going to wait on you today and buy you some flowers!!
Good Morning Don!! I've been at work now since around 05:30, nice quiet day I hope as I have a chance to log on!
I expect you will soon be revving up for a nice day off!! -
Me - at 13:00 - I will be heading home - walk the dogs and then it's siesta time!!
Meetings all day tomorrow for me to explain how I/we will be affected by the Job cuts - Happy Days!!
-
I've no time for the Internet when at work, Too busy cracking down on frauds. Too busy wondering how the "cuts" will affect me!
-
Well I have done all the "bread & butter" necessary work already,
and part of my time is reserved for "Fire-Fighting" as we call it,
in other words, reacting to problems instantly to resolve the issue ASAP.
No problems is a good day for me and I then have a little time to spare.
Other days I can have a headache when I leave, the pressure is high at times!!
A bank Holiday workwise can be a quieter day as less staff to look after
and I don't usually have to do any disclipinary or development interviews either!
I can't be arsed to worry too much about something I have no control over, so just waiting for the end results, good or bad!
-
Fingers crossed for you both.
-
Should be fine
