Hi there,
me and my girlfriend are going on hol to foruka on may 28th for a fortnight. well be staying at the everdiki apartments!

just how shingley is the beach, and wots all this @#$%& about the dreaded urchins?

does anyone know how hot it will be at this time of the year?

what do people think about water world is it realy worth going or just a wast of time and money?

ah well not to long to wait now, 5 weeks and 5 days, tickets will be arriving soon!

many thanx joe and claire

Your there the same time as me Joe
Beach is sandy if you stay near the hotel Australia.
Urchins only live around the rocks so stay off the rocks with bare feet.
Hopefuly the weather should be around the low 80's.
and yes water world is PANT'S dont bother mate.
Good luck

regards
Phil.

ah well shouldent be to bad!

ive been told ther is a nightclub or is that the next town on (kathilea or summet)

wot kind of excursions are usually on offer? and are they any good!

hi again joe.

now you know about the beach which with us being early in Fourka the beach may not have been cleaned so may be debries from winter still about.

swim near hotel Australia or 300 meters to your right but NOT near to the headland as its very rocky and swimming by Australia you can feed the fish as they swim around you, snorkle and goggles a must here lol.

Excursions go see Iaila at the car hire shop near the supermarket and next door to butchers shop. DONT go on REPS tours they are more expensive than booking local trips

Iaila will also do money exchange at good rate too hes a nice helpfull man.

well this is starting to sound like a good holiday,

ive read so much aboat this viktoria restraunt but some are saying its just english food in greece, where would you recomend for a traditional greek restraunt that will have a nice after dinner bar aswell?

just bought the suntan oil and cream so its realy starting to hit me now!

joe

personally i dont like the vik

now for real greek food and the BEST Barnsley chop in the whole world LOL
try the Bella Venetia its by the ciggy kiosk in the square and upstairs on a Balcony overlooking the square free soup for starters, great service and not expensive.

across the road is La Plaza which can be expensive but good food
by the roundabout in the square is the BEST 24 hr GYROS shop(i live in there ---apart from the bella venetia )

down by the beach from the square is a very good fish resturant or for fresh octopus try Billys up by the church at the top of the village

by the way joe the Barnsley chop is done greek style.

will be up bella wednesday about 7.30 - 8.oopm

see ya soon

Jeff
P.S if you go to Hanioti well the worlds your oyster
lots of good restaruants there

ooh now im getting rely exited as im a chef myself im looking towards the the greek to give me info on themed nights for my restraunt!

a barnsley chop, dont know what one of those is neve mind greek style? lol!

when are you flying jeff?

my girlfriend claire is wondering if theres any jellyfish as well as urchins? (bit of a wimp)

5 weeks 3 days to go!

joe

hi joe

theme nights .......restraunt wow

id be inclined to go to Hanioti and purchase a greek cook book or try the internet joe the chefs in the restrants seem a bit coy as to giving advice on things

Barnsley chop lol its a BIGGGGGGGG pork chop done in a sauce with veg n stuff.

we fly 21st may from Luton 7 am flight will be in Fourka by 3pm.

Do you REALLY want me to tell you about Jellyfish???

well without wanting to scare the pants of claire
theres BROWN ones as big as dinner plates but are long ways of shore unless we have high winds where they can get blown inshore , just to assure you that you cant miss the things they do sting if touched
next are the BLUE ones these are best avoided as much as possible they can make you quite ill but only seen these around thessalonki not round our shore line.


ummmmm 4 weeks 3 days for me lol.

There are sometimes small jellyfish, just slightly coloured small pieces of jelly really. Dont sting at all these. Seen the laarge brown ones after high winds, but usually May and Sept. Kept well away anyway ! Mind the fish nibbling your toes, doesnt hurt but comes as a shock sometimes.

i think i might just play it safe and stay on the beach with ma beer instead then!

is any one else flying from manchester on the 28th may?

Seriously Joe, dont worry. I am always in the sea and I am really mardy about these sort of things. I now live there for six months of the year and I am terrified of wasps, horseflies, jelly fish and more, but I manage and I dont even run down the beach screaming anymore (wouldnt be very refined now I am over 50 ! might have looked more cute when I was 20.......

Anyway, go in the sea it would be a shame to miss it. Bit cold in May but perfectly OK once you have been in a few mins. Lovely and clear. Have fun.

Jo were flying from Manchester on 28th

cool, you on the same 9am flight?

cant wait to get on that plane and into the tavernas!

hi Jane how was you break????

hey jeff,
every chef has thier own restraunt, mines been in the pipeline since i was 6, hasnt yet materialised though!

this barnsley chop is still worrying me a touch, is it done in a gravy sauce or a white sauce?

5 weeks and 1 day till takeoff!

ha ha ha ha hi joe

White Mushroom sauce of course

greek new potatoes and veg of choice


i can see your mouth watering from here.........................................>

Jeff

Yes were on the same flight as you mate but were taking a car from the airport (cant stand the coach journey) Were staying at the Julia studios across the main road from where your staying.
regards
Phil.

hi phil,

is the coach journey realy that bad?

how many germans am i likley to meet whilst out in fourka?

FASTEST SUNBED SNATCHER IN WEST IS ME!

Coach journey not bad but it takes about 2 hours depending on how many hotels they drop off at first (fourka is always last on the run!) in a car it takes 45 minutes.
Hopefully you will meet no Germans in Fourka however there will be people from Sweden and Czech republic there for the first time this year (could be fun!)
Good news is your hotel is all English so you can have a lie in and still get a bed by the pool.
Regards
Phil.

Fantastic, lie in and still get a sun lounger have never had that on a holiday!

Ah well hopefully il just sleep on the bus transfer and leave the missus to wake me at the hotel (hope she does though)

do you rate the thompson reps much or are they too happy clappy?
