We stayed in a white sugar cube apt with the blue door on a hill. Night time involved a walk down the dusty path to the bar by the bus terminus where my pregnant wife and I watch the immaculately groomed men hop on the bus to Mykonos Town for the nightlife.

Lazy village where the delight of sipping a warm red wine from a heavy tumbler at the bus stop bar was enlivened by the roll of the dice on the worn backgammon boards. Then out to the headland cafe for a bowl of hot food and some pitta to wipe up the sauce.

No reps in the village - it was magic! In fact even writing this makes me want to go back, but no direct flights from God's own country.

--- End quote ---
We stayed right at the top of the hill looking down on Ornos to the left and the beach where Shirley Valentine ate to the right. Some 5* palace immediately across the road. Apart from the Polish family who managed the apartments we were the "only straights in the village." A non-stop laugh of a holiday. Absolutely brilliant as were the people we met. Since seen one of the couples at Thomas Bay. They did listen then.

Denise:
We're going to Teresa's in August with Thomson and we've got 20kg each.

Waspman:
Doubtful whether you'd get 20 Kg if you booked now Denise, Check it out and let us know.

don:
20kg available with Thomson. No problem.

Jimbo:
You'll be amazed to hear that Thomson have not replied to my logged request for clarification on baggage!

The current distribution on the website is:

15kg - Thomas Bay, Athina, Therese, Romanza, Tsaros
20kg - Stamatis, Little Prince, Barras, Olgfa, Voula

This is for June - ex Doncaster - same flight. You may notice that there's an exact 50/50 split on the distribution which raises suspicion of an automated system designed to grab a few extra quid here and there.

There is no significant correlation with price, and I'm grateful to the Right Honourable Waspman for pointing that out. The following list is ranked by price and allowance shown:

Athina 15
Little Prince 20
Stamatis 20
Tsaros 15
Romanza 15
Theresa 15
Thomas Bay 15  (note: slightly flattering price - 10 days only available)
Barras 20
Olga 20
Voula 20

Could it be that there's a secret agenda here? As the Thomson reps appear to have little else to do, are they taking photographs of clients at various apartments and assessing their weight factor? This could have some impact on fuel costs. Obviously, if you're poor you can't afford to eat so much, which explains the cluster of 20kg allowances at the bottom of the table. I have not seen the clientèle at Stamatis,  but it was clear over the five weeks we spent at Little Prince last year that the guests were, like me, sylph-like and economically scaled.

All paranoid suggestions welcome!
