return visits this year

(1/4) > >>

sharris:
Well, i have normally been to SS in May and September. This year we had the 2 weeks in May but due to unexpected holidays used earlier in year and finance concerns, we hdnt booked our return visit for Sept and were not looking forward to the prospect of not going bck this year - greedy i know.

However, just 4 days after being home, myself and mate Jo have now booked a week 18th - 25th September !!!!!  yippeeeeeee !!!! feel so relieved now !!!!

We thought, sod it, life its too short to worry about crap, and so just booked it !!!!

However, we always go with Portland and stay at Teresa BUT.......Sept prices this year are ridiculous and have not come down at all. That week was £414 with Portland - we have had to go up the hill with Thomas Cook to Kapetanios (£290).

We would prefer to stay at Tereza's but hey its 30 secs up the hill and we will still spend all our time down the road, so its not a problem.

Great news Sarah - didn't think you would resist it. I have been watching the prices with Portland and they are ridiculously high now. If they stay at this level Roy and I will have to have a re think for next year. May even try going independent. Its a shame for the lads at Teresa because they would do very well going independent themselves and make a better profit than letting Portland grab it all.

sharris:
very true, and as i have said earlier somewhere, concern in village that people wont be spending. well at those prices, they won't be full in september which means less people to spend in the bar.

Don't know if i should publicise this fact but am sure not out of line - the guys only get 6 euro per person per night, so they really do rely on people being in the bar / restaurant and the Greek night.

So Portland if you reading this.....SORT YOUR PRICES OUT !!!!!!!

Glad you could do it Sarah. Looking forward to meeting you too though only fleetingly. It does seem to be a  hobbit (sorry that's Chris),  habit of of ours. Last year we met Chris as he waited to be picked up for the airport.
We met Sally & Mick from Norwich in September after attending their wedding in June...In Corfu obviously! We  had just been called for the Manchester flight as they encountered passport control on the incoming Norwich flight. That was 5 minutes chatting through a crack in the glass!!
We will be meeting Gill this time as she waits for her homeward pick up!!

Looks like a rewrite of Brief Encounter!!!! LOL

That's why we try to always travel independently........... We know we are putting a lot more into the Corfu economy!
