There were lots of cheap hols knocking about this summer and think it attracted people to the resort that wouldn't normally come

Yes I think that was it,so many really bargain basement deals.

Jimbo:
We were there the last week in July and first two weeks in August and, frankly, there didn't seem to be much difference. Mixalis did have to chuck a few out of the Little Prince bar, but not while we were there. They local owners and bar-keepers have always moaned about the kind of people who go in August, but with loving the takings. This year, because of the devaluation of sterling caused by Brexit, loads of people were taking self-catering literally and eating pizzas and baked beans in their rooms, and then going to a bar to imbibe.

I think that there is always a delicate balance between being popular and being classy. There have always been cheap deals. We've had some spectacularly good-value trips, because being geriatric means you're not restricted. What seemed different this year was how quiet it was in the evening - not how loud.

When we were there last May(2018) Demetri advised us not to book too early for 2019 as there would be a lot of cheap deals.
We did however get a decent deal booking early as coming from Cardiff only TUI fly to Corfu.

Jimbo:
TUI's prices change dynamically on the website under various obscure algorithms. Worth checking every day if one is serious about booking.

Karen:
We booked for Little Prince next year, in July this year. Checked a couple of days ago and it had gone up by about £200!
