Have you stayed in a lot of different places over the years Tonyco1 and which have been your favourites?How do you choose where to stay now?
Hi dibully, yes we have stayed in many, many different apartments, in all the corners & up the hills, of the resort, and all the Hotels except the Delfino & Romanza.
Basically, almost all apartments are pretty similar in standard, apart from a few new luxury ones.

As we really only sleep and shower there, we see no point in paying out more than we need to,
so we go looking for the best deal combined with location, these days, and compare it with Thomsons deals.
We know just about all the local people, and no one gets offended if you book elsewhere,
but we do prefer to go independently if possible, as it supports the village more, however - everyone has to watch their budget.

Last year we stayed in the Athina Hotel as we took my son and his family, and Half board was the better option,
(my son cannot budget well on holiday and ran short two years previously in the Theodosia Apts, so he wanted H/B).

On our own, we always try to find a cheap flight first, if Easyjet or any airline has cheap flights, we then find apartments.
However, if Thomsons offer a good deal, we may go for that, but it means looking weekly as their prices yo-yo a lot.

We booked H/B in the Thomas Bay in 2010 cheaper than all their room only apartments, except L/Prince which were really expensive, then.
The way we looked at it was we would have gone room only, but now it was like having free breakfasts, and evening meals, when we wanted to
It wasn't a loss to eat out either, as we would have done anyway - just more to spend in the resort!!

So not much different to many others, except those who only like to stay in a certain place, then the option is to price watch or take a chance.
Any way - we'll be there next week so looking forward to chilling out once more!

Jackie always has a morning shopping in Sidari and she gets the bus there and a taxi back. To be honest she normally finds others waiting for one and shares making it even cheaper.

Oh that's a good idea, will have to look out for people going the same way!  Gonna get the last bus over at 5.30 if that's still the timetable then a taxi back at the end of the evening.

My son used to go Clubbing there a few years back, and always managed to find a free lift there late at night,
just by asking around, and a taxi back, often shared as well!
