So the Amber Watch List idea has been scrapped. Normal chaos resumed!Thank goodness for that!
Good to hear that it’s getting busier.Not seen anything advertised D@G, though was told there was a rock band playing at Athens bar last night.
Are there any acts (Condor or Thomas Bay) advertised yet?
You'll love it there. IMO it's the best place in the village.TB, I know the studios are not like the apartments with view etc but we spend very little time in our rooms, are they still ok though?
We been travelling with TUI or Jet2 to Corfu for 12 years. Both have been excellent. I don't really buy the "DIY and the local economy" argument; don't the owners who have contracted to TUI or Jet2 have any income?We have done both, basically worked out which was the cheapest option for us, particularly when there were four of us. Have stayed at Romanza both with TUI and independent as a result of suggestion from the owners to book direct with them. I suppose the owners using operators have the benefit of confirmed stays at the quieter times of the season which guarantees an income and guests using their bar and restaurant. Do the operators pay the owners for the rooms for the year and then it’s down to them to fill it?
We always go to Fedra and they don't have any other source of income.TB our first visit to Fedra Mare on Monday and already have next year booked with them so hope we like it. Just the two of us so staying in one of the ground floor studios.
TUI Friday flight from Doncaster has just moved back two weeks. Bummer.TUI flights at the moment seem a major gamble.
It's all very odd, BAJ...so, can I ask..if you book independently and your flight is cancelled last minute, do you lose the money you have paid for the accommodation, or is that covered in your insurance?Well the owners I have dealt with so far have been great. Those circumstances have happened to us twice, we had Anatoli booked for last July, deposit paid, flight was cancelled and we transferred deposit to Whit week this year. Flights for then were also cancelled so we have moved deposit again to next May. Our accommodation for this coming holiday is Fedra Mare, booked last year and deposit paid. I haven’t explored what would happen to our deposit with them if flights had been cancelled but have no reason to think they wouldn’t have just moved the deposit to a future booking. If that failed I have an annual travel policy which I hope would cover it, but again haven’t explored that. I wouldn’t necessarily be happy booking on trust in other places in the world, but we all know what the village business owners are like. 👍🏻
TUI seem to be the ones cancelling holidays and with only 2days notice sometimes..I’ve seen on Facebook Karen, numerous flights/holidays being cancelled. They don’t seem to be offering customers the alternative flights either just cancelling and refunding…..strange. So far my Jet 2 flight is still going, I have a back up Ryan air flight booked for Sunday just in case 🤞
