BAJ can you tell us all about the PCR test? i.e Where did you have it, how much did it cost , how do you get your results? And most importantly , are they gentle shoving the lolly stick down your gullet?  ;D When Steve had Covid I did the test on him and nearly choked him to death!!
Hobbes, do you mean the pre flight test in resort which is lateral flow or the day 2 PCR test after return?

Both-however I can see your comments about them on other threads! The day 2 test-do we have to self isolate until we have the result? Only Steve is supposed to be going on my nephew's stag do the day after we get home!!

No you don’t need to isolate. Just take the test and send off. No need to worry about if or when you get the results.

The test we had done in the village clinic to fly back was a gentle nose swab, as was the random test I had at Corfu airport on arrival. The PCR test at East Mids airport was a much more thorough delve about in throat and nostrils!

Sorry to hear that...I think more people will be going independent. TUI have certainly let many people down..

I wish we could get a breakdown of where the infections are.

Greek national level is 208.

You will probably be able to book directly with Tereza if you still want to go there.

So it looks like the 1st Jet2 flight out of Edinburgh took off early this morning, although it may have stopped off at Newcastle to pick up further passengers.

With that good news along with my Vaccination certificate arriving yesterday, it looks like we will be on our way from the 2nd September at the 4th time of trying

Here's hoping there will be no further setbacks between now and then!

Well that’s good news they are flying from Edinburgh again as we ended up going with Ryanair from Edinburgh as both Jet2 and TUI cancelled us from Edinburgh in august. Was worth it though we had a great time as usual, only just back.

We must have stayed there 20 or more times over the years, so I guess that says something. However we have only ever stayed in the upstairs accommodation as the views were so superb. Very handy for their Kamini bar, Nafsica food and pool, and of course a number of other restaurants nearby (Manthos of late being one of our favourites). A lovely family run place who are such nice, friendly and helpful people. We’ve always asked them to organise travel from and back to the airport.
However the apartments are your basic typical Greek apartments and may not suit everyone. Then again they are also great value for money!
Happy days...
