Re: Afitos - 16 years ago
Hi Angie not sure where the Andreou Houses are but if you are not sure i can recommend the aegean blue which is in a great position just on the outskirrts of the village which to be truthful is good as it can be quite busy in the summer. Also the Achtis is a rather nice hotel i can thorougly recommend or the stamos a smaller hotel with lovely swimming pool, on the road to kalathea there is thby SHOEY657 - Halkidiki

Bike sounds good, i see by your pictures your a biker, what bike have you got? Must admit i am a bit of a scooter boy, sorry. Perhaps one bank holiday we can meet up in halkidiki throw a Gyros at each other then have a few drinks, Second thoughts lets eat the gyros then get drunk. Good luck with the wedding.

Re: Help please re doctors URGENT - 16 years ago
Almost in every village there is a doctor but as you are going to stay here after the end of the season and your area is not much inhabited during the winter it is good to know that in Kassandria which is the capital of the peninsula and only 15 min.drive from Mola kalyva, there is a place that is called ESY, is public, like a small hospital, open 24 hours , they have an ambulance and doctors,by SHOEY657 - Halkidiki

Re: KILLER PLASTIC CARRIER BAGS..... - 16 years ago
Interesting debate who leaves the litter. 20 locals visit the beach one of them drops litter you have to searce to find that litter the following day that person stays at home so no-one drops litter. 2000 tourists visit and one in 25 drops litter all of a sudden you think it is the tourists that drops all the litter as there is loads of litter on the beach. All i can say is at the moment i aby SHOEY657 - Halkidiki
Re: What tour operator are Daphne Village using in 2008 - 16 years ago
Lindy Have you ever thought of booking the Daphne Village direct. E-mial them and check out the prices, BA operate from Gatwick and Manchester which you can book 12 months in advance. You can then hire a car, the drive is very easy from the airport, turn right then straight on, honestly that easy. Or you can hire a taxi again i think the cost would be around 60/70 euros. I have a feeling that iby SHOEY657 - Halkidiki
Re: Sterling Vs Euro travellers cheques - 16 years ago
When i travel i take a few euros then go to the ATM machine for more cash this saves on any hassle when changing money and i get a good rate. Not sure if there is an ATM machine in Polichrono but there is definetly one in Kalathea and as yet i have never had a problem with it pinching my card or not working. Then you don't have to have the security problem off carrying too much money, just don'tby SHOEY657 - Halkidiki
Re: Golf Courses - 16 years ago
Carol No such luck i am afraid, the nearest course is on sithonia www.portocarras.com not sure how long it would take to drive round my guess is 60/75 minutes, from Hanioti, please correct me on this "readers". A friend played the course many years ago and he described it as very dry, he is very tactful so take what you want from this. I intend to drive around when i visit next may bby SHOEY657 - Halkidiki
Re: zeus hotel, afitos HELP - 16 years ago
Blankie You will find the zeus a few minutes walk from the village which is good as it will be a bit quieter as the lovely traditional greek village gets quite busy during the summer. The walk to the beach will take you 5/10 minutes (downhill), to save the legs get the train back up to the village at the end of the tiring day on the beach which will only cost you a euro each. I agree with C anby SHOEY657 - Halkidiki

Re: buying property in halkidiki - 16 years ago
Hi I used a greek lawyer her name is anthoulia who was very helpful, I had a few issues when buying nothing major, mainly caused by me venturing into the unknown, you know how it is, but Anthoulia was brilliant she did things which a lawyer in this country just wouldn't help with her e-mail address is anthief75@yahoo.by SHOEY657 - Halkidiki
Re: CAR HIRE - 16 years ago
Thanks everyone for your comments. I think sometimes it is hard to recommend or give companies bad comments as you can be lucky with anything, I hired a car last year and it was not up to the standards i would expect, so i started using holidays autos who are good but auto-europe seem to be more competetive now. It would be good Dani if you let me know how you get on with auto-europe though my wiby SHOEY657 - Halkidiki

Re: Looking for Studio in Afitos and Transfer from Airport - 16 years ago
Hi Ray It is actually opposite where i have an apartment it is on the top of the cliff, which i think is best as you don't have to walk up to the village for dinner, it is just outside the village which is good so it is a bit quieter around a few minutes walk to the centre. It is on the bottom road towards kalathea, but only on the outskirts of the village it is only at the start of the bend.by SHOEY657 - Halkidiki

Re: Looking for Studio in Afitos and Transfer from Airport - 16 years ago
Hi Ray If you only travelling to afitos for a few days it may be cheaper to hire a car, the drive is very easy it is a direct route and should only take you 1 hour 15 minutes at the most. You register for the car at the airport then jump on a minibus to the car compound which is only a short drive away. though i know of people that use Vasilis and he has a very good reputation. There are manyby SHOEY657 - Halkidiki
