Flight or package?

<< < (7/11) > >>

debra:
I have been independently for a few years now.  When I was looking for other members of the wedding party, I noticed one week seemed cheaper for package and two weeks marginally cheaper independently.  Transfers and extras bump it up but prefer to book own transfer as really hate to waste time on the coach!  We paid 470 euros for one bedroomed apartment and friends paid 720 (both for two weeks) for lovely two bedroomed apartment - both at Christinas - and have to say that they are SPOTLESS with the best views we have ever had in Ag Stef.  Air con 5 euros extra/night - but folk who had ground floor 2 bed roomed apartment didn't need it - even in the 40's!  We definitely did though. We ordered mini bus for 16 of us through San Stef Travel which was 150 euros each way - split into couples , cost 60 euros each couple return.  This was height of season - 26th July until 9th August. Flights were a nightmare though and we ended paying around £250 each for them.  So total cost for us as a couple for two weeks in this period was about £960.  Hope this helps.

We tend to find that for our week in June a package is cheaper but for our fortnight in August its cheaper to go independent. Having said that next June we are also 'doing it ourselves' as managed to get really good price for flights from Jet2 and Athens Bar still nice and competitive inc transfer.

 Haven't looked at a Thomson's brochure for years but have just had a look on line at their prices for next June and I don't think there is much difference in the cost of going with them or going independently.We always make our own arrangements and stay in the same apartments in the
old part of the village where it's quiet.
Our first visit in 1987 was with Thomson and we stayed at Romanza when it was just apartments,a couple of times after that we stayed at Tsaros,
also with Thomsons. Nikos used to collect us outside Nafsica in his little old pick up truck,we had to sit in the front and hold the door closed in case we fell out.
After that,having made friends with many people in San Stef, we decided to do it ourselves.
I don't think I could go back to Thomsons now and that coach journey from the airport , the reps and those "welcome meetings".

But he's got a smart mini-bus now,the old red pick up truck was much more fun,throw your cases in the back and jump in and that was before
the hill was tarmacked so it was a bit of a bumpy ride.
