Can anyone help?
I had booked with Thomas Cook to go to the Tropical hotel in September way back in October. I have just received a letter frm them saying that the flight from Manchester has been cancelled! apparently all Thomas Cook flights have been cancelled from manchester to halkidiki this year!
I am extremely disappointed that I won't be able to stay with Vicky and Sakis again this year and have been looking elsewhere. I have come across a deal for the Vicky Apartments which are across the road from the Tropical and have been reading several reviews for them, some of which are good and some of which are very bad, mentioning mold etc etc.
Can someone please HONESTLY tell me what these apartments are like. I will just use them as a base as I will spend the majority of my time at the Tropical pool.
PLEASE HELP!
thanks

I got a letter today from Thomas Cook saying the flights from Manchester were cancelled. As i was already travelling down from Newcastle to Manchester I don't really want to travel any further and can't afford to either.
Carole, if you could post on here when you return what you thought of the Vicky that would be appreciated, as its the closest to my friends in the Tropical and I can go there every day. Just let me know what the rooms are like at the Vicky thanks, especially as you are going on your own.

Carole,
i have unfortunately and its a definite that all flights have been cancelled from Manchester for Thomas Cook, something about a contract with the airline. i truly hope that this does not affect you! Can you let me know what your apartments were like when you get back, in a pm if you don't want to post on the site itself. I will post straight after this on my log in so you can reply direct.
Thanks for your help, i'm sure that I will get to hanioti somehow, but i don't think at this stage that I will be able to stay with my friends, but anywhere else would just be a base so needs to be decent but not bothered about a pool etc cos i will spend all my time with my friends at the tropical hotel.
I hope you have a fantastic holiday in Hanioti, make sure that you go to the tropicana restaurant where Sakis and Christos will look after you for sure.
Thanks

Yes I know Brian, apparently the information has not filtered down to travel agent level yet. but ppl will find that they are unable to complete a booking if they do try.
I can't say how disappointed in Thomas Cook I am, a huge company like that letting down thousands of holidaymakers this year. I hope they get themselves sorted before next year as I have already booked that holiday as well. Their customer service has been rubbish, I am still waiting for a return call from 12.45 on Saturday to try and sort out the whole mess, and that is after having spent over an hour and a half in queues on the phone to try and get through to no less than 3 different numbers.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has trouble with them.
In the meantime, I am trying to make alternative arrangements to get to Hanioti, which will, unfortunately, mean I can't stay with my friends at the tropical, even though First Choice do have rooms available they are charging over £100 more than Thomas Cook and thats money I can't spend. Its very frustrating.
But I'll get there, somehow! lol

Lisa,
The Vicky Apartments are excellent, if your intending to spend alot of time down at the Tropical I don't see you having any problems stopping at the Vicky.
I saw some of the bad comments about the Vicky and I have got to say I was surprised, I have always found them to be well run apartments and are very clean and the owners are very helpful. So get yourself to the Vicky!!!

Lisa here
Thanks everyone for posting and helping me out. I have one more small query. Can you tell me what the weather is generally like at the end of September first week in October. I know it will be cooler on a night time but will it still be fairly warm through the day?
Also, will restaurants and shops etc still be open in Hanioti or will they all be closing down by then, its not the last week of the season, that is the week after.
Last year I came in the second week of September and it was still hot through the day then.

hey everyone
i've heard complaints about vicky hotel cause of the karaoke nights they have (pretty much every night) and how loud they are in late night hours.
I've stayed at the apartments just across vicky (yellow building) that is owned by a woman named Agni and I loved it.They were very clean and quiet and also have air conditioner and good prices.I'll be there this summer too can't wait for it!
her number is 2374061143.
is anyone going there too?

Sorry but the Vicky Apartments only have Karaoke nights once a week. The noise levels on a night are no greater than any other Hotels/Apartments in Hanioti.
I have never been in the apartments over the road from the Vicky but I have been told by various people that they are very nice and also good value for money.

Hi, The Vicky Apartments are really nice and so are the people that run the place. They do have karaoke but only once a week and this has to be finished by twelve.
We have been for the past four years and are going again on August 25th and we can't wait.
I usually travel with a group of about 14 people and we meet up with people that have been there previously and we have never had cause to complain, like I said earlier, the Vicky Apartments are clean and welcoming.
Have a wonderful time in Hanioti.... I know we will
