Totally agree in a way Sunshine Gal..... Was there August and deffo some different people to the normal crowd.

There were lots of cheap hols knocking about this summer and think it attracted people to the resort that wouldn't normally come

We were there the last week in July and first two weeks in August and, frankly, there didn't seem to be much difference. Mixalis did have to chuck a few out of the Little Prince bar, but not while we were there. They local owners and bar-keepers have always moaned about the kind of people who go in August, but with loving the takings. This year, because of the devaluation of sterling caused by Brexit, loads of people were taking self-catering literally and eating pizzas and baked beans in their rooms, and then going to a bar to imbibe.

I think that there is always a delicate balance between being popular and being classy. There have always been cheap deals. We've had some spectacularly good-value trips, because being geriatric means you're not restricted. What seemed different this year was how quiet it was in the evening - not how loud.

When we were there last May(2018) Demetri advised us not to book too early for 2019 as there would be a lot of cheap deals.
We did however get a decent deal booking early as coming from Cardiff only TUI fly to Corfu.

TUI's prices change dynamically on the website under various obscure algorithms. Worth checking every day if one is serious about booking.

We booked for Little Prince next year, in July this year. Checked a couple of days ago and it had gone up by about £200!

I check often even if we have already booked.
I like to see the way  things are going and always on the look out for a quick extra at the right price.

We booked early for 2019 and a few weeks before departure the same holiday, same flights was over 200 cheaper. We have booked the Little Prince again for a week at the end of June next year, different time of year for us as its normally September.

There’s no way of telling really is there,you just have to take a chance because often it goes the other way.
