Who love Glens Place!! - Great for Lunch!!

Hi All, nice to be here - to be here - - - - - -!!
Already managed to say a quick hello to Bazza, arrived tired - make that shattered, after a long travelling day.
A BIG THANKYOU to WASPMAN!!  Thanks - I had an ice cold Mythos (so did Linda - so thanks from her as well).
Apols if any typos, in sunshine, hard to read the screen - - hey Don & Sandra, Pele says hi!!
Met lots of friends, including Kostas at the Fantasea Restaurant, (Golden Beach).
Great Menu, thanks for the reviving ice cold frappes!! SOOOOOOoooooo Nice!!
The Grand-kids love the beach - Grandad kept busy!! Nanny - worn out!!
Don't recognise anyone on the beachbed hire yet.
Dimitris is running the ones outside waves, €8 as previously stated for 2 beds and a brolly.
Weather beautiful!!  Just Beautiful!!  Busy Sunday on the beach today - packed!!
I also said hello to lots of my local friends yesterday and today - such a warm welcome - lovely people!!
saw a good act last night in the Condor they "did", multipul famous artists acts, best one for a long time!
write again soon, time for a nice warm shower!!

Does anyone know this or if anyone is there - can you ask Olga on the Athina Hotel Reception, exactly how many rooms do not have a Balcony!
I am worried as I have their brochure which says 44 rooms all with balcony, and the Thomsons website info says 39 rooms & that 2 of the double rooms don't have a Balcony.
I booked 3 rooms there last November - via Thomson's - for this August, my son preferred a double room
I know he'll blow a fuse if he gets a room with no balcony - an important part of the holiday accommodation - as his wife smokes and needs the balcony to do so!
He gets claustrophobia as well so I am trying to find out in advance if we have a problem - Thomson's were no help at all.

I just wonder what information is correct as having stayed there before and always had a balcony - I am now confused and concerned!
I did ring the hotel but the Manageress was on and did not understand me.
I just hope that sods law won't hit us having paid so much money out for 6 Adults and two children!
Any help appreciated!
Tony & Linda

I was looking at the various options for Airport transfer as I always do.
This year my party is 6 Adults a child and an infant, not just the 2 of us.

By car - = 2 x Cars at £107 each plus fuel for an hour each way journey - - - - Around £245 + extra travelling time for the Car park transfer.
by National express = return fares for the Party from Heathrow - (plus you have to get there first) - - - £260.60
I did a few quote online for a mini-bus average £270 - £280.
I called a local car company - via their Mini bus - £200 including meet & greet on return - so this looks like my best option.

Anyone else get a better quote, or better Idea? (yes I know someone - family/friend can drop you off - but 8 of us and luggage???).

Our friends Alan and Carole are roaming the streets of AS (SS), and have texted me a few reports over three days.
Alan say's things are behind schedule in the resort, no one is doing Sunbeds on the Beach yet, not for another week!
Waves and Mango are putting out beds - for their customers only, so buy lunch at Waves and you can get Sunbeds!!
He says the beach is in a state still, lots of seaweed etc.

It seems they have done away with the pool bar at the Athina, and Nandi (daughter from 2 stars), is serving the pool via a walkie-talkie,
with food served under canopies by the restaurant, maybe this will change later as it gets busy!

Dimitri, (Elpitha & Nondas Apt's) is running the Little Princes Bar, Glass shop, has moved into the old Magnet Bar, San Stefanos Travel moved by Margarita's Apartments, as previously told.

Olive Press not open yet, and they went to see Lady GaGa in the Condor last night!! That's it so far!!
