Re: Hanioti restaurants - 16 years ago
Although not in Hanioti we caught a cab from Hanioti to Pefkahori (5 Euros) 2'ce and enjoyed two very nice evenings in the 'Captains' on the main road oppisite the cabrank, the food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. We also ate at the 'Akropolis' in Kriopiggi which was a little further by cab (in the opposite direction) where the food and the hospitality was equally as good.by Otis - Halkidiki

Re: Weather forecast. - 16 years ago
Just got back today after 2 weeks, had as great time but got bit to death by the mozzies, we were told there were more than usual around this year due to the heavy rains of only 3 weeks ago and because of the trees that were lost in the fire last year bringing the mozzies down into the village, still the weather we had for the whole fortnight was fantastic with yesterday being the hottest day atby Otis - Halkidiki

I too was keeping an eye on it and it was looking good for the 4 days after you arrived but now the weather's forecast to be changeable, oh well i was hopingby Otis - Halkidiki

Re: 7 days! - 16 years ago
Yeah we're going for 2 weeks as well but would still prefer no rain, we've had quite a few wet days on the last couple of holidays we've had (Thassos and Skiathos) and would prefer it to be sunshine all the way this time still que sera sera and allthat.

Weekly Markets. - 16 years ago
Were heading for Hanioti in 2 weeks time and wondered if there were any weekly markets close by also is Thessaloniki the nearest large town or are there any nearer towns that are worth a visit. Is Hanioti the liveliest resort in the region?by Otis - Halkidiki
