Title: Beach towels on last day
Post by: Teamnickos on June 13, 2016, 08:29:31 PM

We have an evening flight so can have 2-3 hours on the beach on the last day but don't want to pack wet beach towels. I am thinking of buying cheapos from Primark (£4 each), alternate using them with our good ones - then good ones don't get so crusty and can use the cheapies on the last day and then throw them away. Still feel bad about the waste though. Any other ideas? ( don't say "don't have a swim!)
Thanks Frankie

Buy a cheap towel (to share) in resort at 5 euros, then throw it away.

Maybe some of the locals will know of a charity shop nearby - I have seen these occasionally on other Greek islands, although not as plentiful as in the UK! Alternatively there might be somewhere collecting donated items for the Syrian refugees. I saw a lot of the good work being done on Lesvos last year.

  We have just returned from Ibiza ( Es Cana ) with Thomson , and our rep had a table on which you could leave all your unwanted items at the end of your holiday , things like shampoo ,sun cream after sun , There was quite a selection of beach shoes ,towels , etc. a much better idea than throwing them away at the end of your holiday.

That's such a good idea. Maybe someone will know if the same is being done anywhere in San Stef.

Yes I have a lotions and potions table at Vicky's where I am on reception and people donate all sorts of stuff including towels lilos, sunhats etc these can then be used again or end of the season donated to one of the table tops sales for the animal care  tables...........

I really like that idea - I was going to say donate to the animal charities  :)

Surely they just be damp and not dripping wet? Won't you be washing the contents of your case anyway?

Failing that roll them up into a couple of carrier bags

Yeah but even after a couple of hours damp towels are pretty yukky!
Hope you enjoyed your first trip out there
