Hello everybody!

[cdavies86]

Just joined this board even though I've been having a little 'stalk' for a few days!!

Going back to SS and the Athina Hotel on the 27th for a fortnight, can't wait I'm ready to burst!! Haven't been to SS since 2006, has it changed much? Glen was just opening his bar by the Athina, hope he's doing well?

Can anyone who's returned in the last week tell me how the weathers been please? Heard it's been a bit dodgy all season!? 

Thanking you!

Hi cdavies86 and welcome to the forum. We stayed at Athina 2008,lovely hotel.
We go on the 20th so I have been checking the weather out, it seems it has been very nice this year with a few thunder storms which soon clear up.

Hi cdavies86

Weatheronline.com gives an 8 day forecast and it's going to be...... hot hot hot for now, forecasting sun all the way and temperatures into 90s, keep checking this you can also get onto the webcams through this site but SS is not working at the moment.
Enjoy your stay.

Thanks everyone for the speedy replies - have got me even more excited now (didn't think it was possible!!)

We went the exact same dates four years ago and didn't see a single drop of rain, so I'm keeping everything crossed!

Glad to know his bar is still doing well... his greek salads were the best around imho!

After two glorious weeks we had torrential rain and a massive thunderstorm the evening just before we left last year, everyone was talking about it at the airport, SS NE was badly hit as was most of that side, hope we don't get one as bad as that this time.....in fact not at all, I think wev'e had enough rain to last us for ever.
Not long to go now.

Returned early 3 August.  Weather great.  Two fairly short Mistrals but it just breaks the holiday up and do something different.  It's a bit of a shame when it's windy that Manthos, Waves etc have the clear blinds down but that is a small problem.  Have another Retsina and Mythos and relax, it looks like the good weather is continuing this week.  Have a peek at the web cam to whet the appetite.

PS. Wondered if anyone on the forum was delayed by 8 hours on Viking to Manchester last Monday night.  Sorry for you but glad it wasn't us.

Hi cdavies and welcome to the forums. We always go end of August / beginning of September and have never really had anything to complain about weather wise in the last 10 years. The odd storm but mostly at night which can be spectacular to see.

YOU REALLY SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SPECSAVERS !!!!!!!!     ........ TWO lovely daughters !  

[cdavies86]

Thank you for all the replies!!

I'm sure Glenn didn't have any children when we were there in 2006, didn't meet Maria either!

Glad to hear that nothing else has changed that much. Hoping that the storms are not like those we experienced in Halkidiki 3 years ago, 5 days of non-stop rain!! Haven't left the country in over 2 years so looking forward to the 30 + temperatures!

Anyone flying from Cardiff on the 27th?

Hi Cdavies

Where did you go in Halkidiki??

I went to the Sani resort twice around 8 years ago. The first time we went it was JUne and we had amazing weather. The second time was in early Sept. We had one glorious week and then one week with 5 days of great storms. Brilliant for watching but also very boring when there's nothing to do!

Dont think I could afford to go back there now though!

[cdavies86]

Forgot to ask about the Delfino Blu....not sure if it was even built in 2006 when we were there but anyway we never turned left out of the Athina to see it....

Thinking of getting married there next year, plans to meet their wedding planner when we visit in 3 weeks. Anyone stayed there/ been to a wedding there?

Such a decision to make, want it to be the right one!!

Thanks

Whats occuring Gavlah?!

My parents stayed in the Sani resort a few years back....they loved it there! We went to a little village called Afitos, on the NE of Kassandra peninsula. Lovely hotel but resort not a patch on SS!

Wasnt much at all to do with the storms, soooo windy out there. One night the french doors on our balcony that were shut tight blew right open, blowing the table and chairs in too! Honestly thought it was a mini hurricane for a minute!

Nice hol, but don't feel the desire to rush back there like I do to SS!
