Re: best tavern - 15 years ago
The best bar in Hanioti is just off the square no sure of the name but there was this couple who were singing song from the 60s/70s they did a spot on nock three time by Dawn, not sure it just could have been Tony Orlando himself. Well maybe not becuse he went into songs from the shows, alway a sing of a little to much falling down water. Also the fat bloke thinks he can dance but just wobbles aby alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Pella Studios - Pefkohori - 15 years ago
Its the same in Hanioti not so much choice, We have stayed in both and love both. Your anger should be directed towards the tour operators not people who like a diffrent resort.They think they have the upper hand at the moment (drving down locals on price and othere firms and airlines folding). Lets all stick togethere and support the good people of Halkidiki.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: hanioti palace - 15 years ago
Will do and I am sure you will enjoy Hanioti Palace. Not sure if you have but you may want to request ground floor accoddation.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: hanioti palace - 15 years ago
Have stayed there in the past about 3 years ago,have stayed there on three ocations. Rooms are of average size and include a fridge and keep very clean and regular linnen change. As you have possable seen the area around the pool has many sunbeds and only at really at high season is thre a problem to get one but we always managed. The staff are always helpfull and frendly, infact we alway go backby alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: neriedies hotel hanioti - 15 years ago
All prices have gone up an unrealistic ammount we paid £1380 last year the same nexted year is just short of £2000 how do you justify almost 50% increase ? (not at this hotel but in Hanioti)by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Transfers - help!? - 15 years ago

Re: Transfers - help!? - 15 years ago
Sorry for spelling mistakes will try harder ? If you take the time to read correcly I said possable not is ! There must be a crossover between genuine advice and advertizing (spelling again) if you really know the people thier you may just understand. If this is a wind up I have been had.

Re: Prices in Hanioti - 15 years ago
Prices are resonable but the Euro has made things more expencive, but it is such a wonderfull part of the world you soon forget. (well till you get home)by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Transfers - help!? - 15 years ago
We are stopping at the renaissance Just by the Naias, they are the same appartments are just across the street as it say the othere part reception and bar is on the beach. I can recomend Sakis at Kriopigg cars we are using him this time and is very reliable and well established company. Also possable the best resturant in Halkidiki.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Transfers - help!? - 15 years ago
You can get a taxi straight outside the Airport about 75 Euros so no problem to get to resort a lot quicker than coach transfers. As when you return it is the end of the season so should not be a problem to return. The bar manager at the Naias The famous Leonardo will help you sort it out, he has for us in the past. We are flying out on the 5 th with Easy jet so may see you at the pool bar as weby alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: fourka - 15 years ago
I fear this may be a trend with the cut back in flights nexted year and the exchange rate of the Euro. We love Halkidiki and our favorite is Hanioti we should be back nexted year I really hope so. Not finished yet this year back in October for the last week of the season.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Hanioti---how busy this summer - 15 years ago
Try booking for nexted year limmited flights at the moment. XL have already stoped,First choice cancelled flights from Manchester early in the season and started late june. Lets wait and see what happens.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Hanioti---how busy this summer - 15 years ago
But as there used to be more options they have merged flights and reduced the number of flights. Less choice then you will pay a premium. Just wait and see,prices for nexted year apear to be + 25/33 % INCREASE for packed deals.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Hanioti---how busy this summer - 15 years ago
Yes a lot of people miss the northen flights, London must be the center of the universe. I will be traveling from Gatwick in Oct.a pain to get to and thats from the midlands. The Wolves football shirts you may have seen in Wembly bar came mostly from me.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Hanioti---how busy this summer - 15 years ago
Nexted year Monday flights only except Thurs from Manchester with main tour operators. Thomas Cook and First Choice are using Thomson Fly. So I expect to be less choice of holidays,and fewer flight only deals with them. But we will still be there anyway.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Hanioti - 15 years ago

Re: Hanioti---how busy this summer - 15 years ago
We were there 3/17 July agree with magoose possably more eastern europeans than Brtish. Used to be mainly German then mid/late ninties English, now the Eastern Euros. Would say English down 15/20 %. Nexted year possable less as it looks as they are consoladating flights.May only be Monday flights as it looks at the moment.by alanapp - Halkidiki

Re: rennaisance hanoti - 15 years ago
Probably the best hotel in Hanioti large apartment with airconditioning and safety deposit box in room. The food is of a high standard with plenty of options even for veggies. We have stayed there twice and will be going again on 3rd July for two weeks. Hope this helps would recomend this as one of the best in the Halkidiki.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: wembley bar - 15 years ago
Agiss was last seen working on Sky Sports telling every one the nickname of the teams and home grounds. Life has gone to start the revolution but not sure where. But truth is I do not know what has happened to them.by alanapp - Halkidiki
