If easyJet prices drop after you've purchased them there is a "price promise" whereby they will refund the difference with a voucher against future flights

Article 26 Price Promise

26.1 If You have, or the Booker on Your behalf has, made a Booking directly through the Website and You, or the Booker, subsequently find that lower fares (when taken together with all applicable fees and charges) for the same easyJet Flight have become available, You will be refunded the difference as a credit voucher against future Flights on easyJet. The only exception to this “price promise” is if the lower fares have been offered as part of a promotional offer that is launched after You have purchased the Flight. For the avoidance of doubt, this Article 26 will not apply to any Booking made on Your behalf by any licensed third party booking systems (e.g.: travel agents, screen scrapers) or through easyJet’s Call Centre.

They're pointless. Heavy, cold, don't feel or taste right - nobody's got that correct.

I didn't smoke for 4.5 years. I nearly went bankrupt. Some of us need our little props to be productive.

Have a word with Dimitris next week, maybe he can convince you. I can can see you returning from Ag Stef being a converted (and smoke free) man.

There's a limit to what you can get on quad bike, debra. Last time Tony Cox hired one Linda had to walk!

And Jimbo couldn't reach the handle bars! LOL

I thought honey was not to be bought back to Uk

No problem with honey in the aircraft hold:

From UK Gov website.

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.

Sorry Waspman but I don't think that translation is quite correct,"palio" means old and "paidon" can mean fellow or chap,so if we are looking for a literal translation it would be "The Old Fellow" or "The Old Chap",think I've got that right.

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

I shot that video for Gillie because she thinks Vassilis is one of the most gorgeous creatures on the planet!

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!

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
