Newby .. few questions ...

[tonyco1]

Yes - we look each year - some Apartments rented independantly, are offering a free transfer from the airport, this year.
We went EasyJet and rented last year and it was cheaper.
This year we are with Thomsons again! We always look for a good deal, as most Apt's or Hotels are the same in quality.

I can't book until I see my boss next tue/wed and ok the 2 weeks off so I hope the price
hasn't increased again by then .. I am looking in the region of £960 for 2 weeks @ the Romanza
same time as you Yannis .. how does that compare with prices from Oop North ?  

Hi Mikee
Checked this morning.
Luton now 970 Pounds       Leeds Bradford 990 pounds    
I paid 998 pounds when i booked last June.I am now 8 pounds into negative equity.The first time ever my early booking has not shown a profit.I checked all the San Stefanos Hotels and they are all showing vacancies pretty much anytime in the season.I think we can put that down to the economic state in both countries.
I checked out another option for you.Have you considered booking direct on the Romanza web site.
Cost 18th June - 2nd July  375 pounds/room with breakfast.Includes 4.5% discount for full payment on booking.
Flight with Thomson from Luton including two bags and transfers to San Stefanos 510 pounds.
Total cost 885 pounds.
Must be a better deal.You may get cheaper flights still from other London Airports.

PS
Direct booking was not available when I booked as new web site not up and running.

[Mikee]

Yes £970 from Luton is what I am seeing as well Yannis

I emailed Romanza for the said dates and they have nothing available they said - advised me to go through Thomson

When you add on transfers etc, flying Sleazyjet etc isn't really working out any cheaper (may have done 2 or 3 months ago)?

I guess there is always a 'chance' Thomsons may have one of their 24/48hr sales coming up
but I would question if its worth waiting for as the prices are likely to rise in the meantime as the date gets closer?

[Jules]

Are you also prepared the risk of not getting in the Romanza as well if you wait to book.

[YANNIS26]

Hi Mikee
Sorry for the misinformation regarding direct booking the Romanza for the 18th June I completely misread the website.I have now put my brain in gear.There are other dates available where you may make a saving.
Having said that if the 18th June is the date you want 970 pounds with Thomsons is not a bad price.
Yannis

[Mikee]

Jules .. that is quite true but having looked further, places like Thomas Bay look appealing also

Yannis - no worries, its just that 18th June - 2nd july are good dates for me, there are cheaper
hols if you can fly midweek from Gatwick - but thats too much hassle really - will have to get a move
on soon as I can ok my holiday in work !!

[Gavlah1973]

I think we paid around 1100 quid to go with Thomson in Aug from Manchester.
We live on the Leeds/Wakefield border, didn't realise we could fly from lba! 

[don]

Paid Easyjet £290 for two adult flights - late June. Paid €500 for a 3 bed bungalow and that includes private transfers. Could not match anywhere near that through TO's.

[tonyco1]

I did a similar deal as Don - but  last year.

This year we decided to do the Thomas Bay again - H/B deal for two - with all the add-ons from Thompson,
£487 each, early booking in a sale - not yet seen that price within £100 of what we paid in total.

[biglillypicker]

hi tonyc   think you will have to book for me it cost us £1420 2 weeks for thomas bay inc insurance

[YANNIS26]

Hi Mikee
If you can cope with the hassle & bad flight times check out Gatwick 21st June 2 weeks.
Thomas Bay 492/head HB
Romanza 437 BB
If you want a real bargain how about Voula 275/head
The Voula is located just above the Romanza& is S/C.
I cannot comment on the accommodation but the owners, pool & bar are excellent.
You can get it from Luton on the 18th for 329/head.Leaves lots of cash for eating out and the odd Mythos.

[Mikee]

Yannis

I saw the Voula one - its cheap, but on reading reviews I see why !!

I'll probably opt for the Luton flight (can get a lift there) and transfers
included other side - sometimes just not worth the hassle of booking indep
UNLESS you are looking at saving a couple of £100 which I'm not really

[Mikee]

Yannis et al - it's BOOKED (a week later than planned) 25th JUNE - 9th JULY @ Romanza £920 all in 

Will see you there the 2nd week of your hols then Yannis ... boy you guys better have painted the right
picture of this pardise bit of Corfu that is San Stefano

You will LOVE IT!!!!
