I just booked first 2 weeks in July'12, and booked direct locally, with Athens Bar, and Easyjet Gatwick, for flights.
I think I have a great deal over-all, including Transfer and Air-con.
Aircon (around €70 - 2 weeks) is an expensive add-on for most Hotels and Apartments,
and the Transfer can work out at €100-€120 extra by Taxi, (Return), yes - - - I know that Thomson's do free coach transfers.

So, before I booked it as usual, I checked Thomson's out.

The most expensive deal this week, (for my dates), is Little Prince, £740 each for LP room only,
around £100 dearer than the half-board deals at Teresas, Romanza, Thomas Bay, £60 dearer than Athina,
and £200 more (unusual-must be a deal!), than Nafsika H/B. - - Madness!
I would love to stay at LP - but not for silly money, so I'll settle for some meals there instead this time.
Why so dear? The rooms are new'ish and nice - but is it worth paying that much for room only, - - -
I bet Dimitris doesn't see any of that extra money!
I think it's the usual Thomson con to fill up (what Thomson's see as) less popular venues first, as lots of LP rooms must be pre-booked and it's a popular venue.

Because I got really good flight prices, my deal cost us £450 each for everything; Apartment, flights, A/C, Transfers - -only food to find now!
If I deduct the price of €170 for A/C & Transfers, which are usually extra's on top of a private Apt. deal - I am very happy! (around £375 each).
I am even happier that the bulk of my money went locally and not to Thomson's!!

 

Jimbo:
The prices fluctuate all the time. We got 3 weeks late September for £340 including flights. Just watch the prices.

DavidFid:
We booked before the end of September 2011 for 2 weeks from 27 July 2012 and have the LP for £560 each via Thompson from Norwich. However, have tried to book our friends in and the price had risen to £886 each!!!! 58% more!!. Think it is a must to watch the price daily, anyone have any tried and tested tactics?

Jimbo:
The prices really do fluctuate by large amounts on a weekly basis. It's a poker game.

Today the prices across the village on Thomsons are between about £550 and £850 for Tony's July 27 peak period. Slightly less for late June.

Unfortunately, some people have jobs and have to book well in advance. We can just watch and decide when the web-saver knocks the price down.

The weeks I mentioned were the first two weeks of july from Gatwick.
