Within the EU
You can bring any fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy or other animal products (eg fish, eggs and honey) into the UK if you’re travelling from a country within the EU.

To Pailiopaido is "the bad boy" the one they dance to at Zorbas, and other taverna's

Can't remember the name of the song, unfortunately.
It's called To Pailiopaido (The Bad boy) sung by Dimitris Mitropanos, now sadly deceased (2012)
Surprised Jimbo couldn't find that in his Greek dictionary, very unusual!!

The key point - it seems to me - is that Thomson promote and introduce people to the village. Then, perhaps, they want to go back making their own way. Is there enough critical mass for that to survive?
You're probably right Jimbo but I'll go private when it's in my financial interests!

« on: August 30, 2013, 12:42:43 AM »This is a topic which has been discussed many times. I suspect that if owners can make more money by going independent, they will do so. I do not know the full details of the financial arrangements, but I do find the Thomson knocking a little tiresome. If you do not like them, use Thomas Cook, or some other company, or arrange your own visit.
ROVER, if you could get 30 euros a night per room (privately) apposed to the 5-8 euros a night from Thomson's what would you choose??
Unlike you, I do have first hand knowledge of many hotel's financial arrangements with Thomson's.
The owners of many hotels in Agios (San) Stefanos cannot offer all of their rooms as independent as they do not have the global marketing to accommodate them all, so they are offered to Thomson as this is a "Thomson Town". For example, The Romanza has 32 rooms with only 5 let privately, The Nafsika has 18 rooms with only 2 let privately, other hotels/apartments are similar.
Unfortunately Thomson's do dictate how many rooms an hotel owner can offer as "private"
If you find "Thomson knocking a little tiresome" and expect them to use Thomas Cook where would you like them to stay? Kapetanios, Mythos and Vicky are the only accommodation Thomas Cook offer.
Thomson tiresome knocking is well deserved

Gav's right, 8 euros is the price paid by Thomson's, and the breakfasts are fine.

You're all wrong, The Athina offer any breakfast you want (including the full English) if you book privately, also The Fedra Mare offer the same.
