Inter Resort Pass

[martin B]

hi all which resorts does the inter resort bus go to any one know sounds like it may be a good idea .

[Lesley]

Hi Martin, it runs between the resorts of Sidari, through San Stefano (stops are Romanza and Barras) onto Arillas and St George, some vendors in resort have tickets otherwise if you check either the Thomson or Thomas Cook reps they should also have tkts, if not p.m. me and I wll give you the owners website link to book tkts.  Just 5 euros a day or 15 euros per week. Lso recerntly introduced are child prices......

Sounds good, we have done those resorts too many times and probably won't do the bus, but it's great for anyone who hasn't, cheap excursion!!

Sorry this service seems to have ended prematurely!
Hope someone starts it up next year, as we had planned to make good use of it.

What a shame! I know that there was a good deal of opposition to it by some of the local taxi drivers and some people would not sell tickets as they were afraid that it was illegal. But it was a great idea!

Oh that's dissappointing sounded great idea wonder if there wasn't enough interest

[Lesley]

Hi All, sorry havent been on for a while, family commitments and a busy time all round.....

A couple of replies to points made.......

It wasnt illegal - the man behind it was registered through a Greek tourism office (okay in another resort) but it was all running legally.,  Hence when the taxman stopped the bus all they could do was check out the papers and let the bus carry on running which it did for a few more days.

Yes it did probably put a few peoples nose out of joint hence the decision to stop for this summer only, but that's work in progress I understand from him for next summer, perhaps there may even be a whole network around the island in or in years to come as in other resorts within Greece and around the world.  I think we will have to watch this space as they say on that one.

The whole ethos of the idea was to provide what the customer visiting the island wants.  After all the guests is the most important part of any tourism community.

In the meantime there is an open letter to the PM of Greece on various forums and also a plaint (I believe that's what it is called) to the EU concening, monopolies and intimidation.  We can only hope that the letter is given serious consideration and is answered.

For everyone who used the service and it was well supported, thank you. For more information on where to read the various articles probably best to pm me so I can pass on the correct information via the man's company's website.
