Re: Just Back from Hanioti - 17 years ago
Thanks Jeff We know very basic Greek (how to say do you speak English, and I speak a little Greek, and all of the above) but we would both have to work out there and have been told finding jobs will be difficult without knowing the lingo!! Let’s just pray that we win the lottery and don't ever have to work again!!!! Vicky xby Vicky - Halkidiki
Re: Just Back from Hanioti - 17 years ago
I'm sorry to say it does!!! We are currently looking into learning Greek so we can move there, so we never have to feel like that again!!!!by Vicky - Halkidiki

Re: Hand baggage allowance coming home!!!!! - 17 years ago
Hi Kerry Just got back on Thursday and we had bottles etc and I had a open bottle of coke and nobody said anything. They did scan everything though, even the suitcase prior to check in. So other than a few extra checks you can bring the same as usual back. Hop this helps. Vickyby Vicky - Halkidiki

Re: Just Back from Hanioti - 17 years ago
Hi Gary Hanioti is a fabulous place to go with many great places to eat, although there are very few on the sea front. Amythestos has beautiful food, the roof gardens are good, and Gusto Italian is also one of our favorites. Really depends on what you fancy!! I'm not overly sure on the location of the Hilltop Hotel but my parents stayed in the Daphne Village which is in the Hills. There iby Vicky - Halkidiki

Re: Fire in Hanioti - 17 years ago
I know what you mean.......many things you can cope with but without air...no chance. We leave Manchester next Thursday (31st) and so do want to go as we get married in Hanioti while we are there......trying to be positive and keeping our fingers crossed at the same time. I really hope that everything goes ok for you!!! Vicky xby Vicky - Halkidiki
pictures from the last day or so?? - 17 years ago
As there seams to be so many conflicting views if anyone has any pictures of the aftermath maybe it would be useful to post them on here. After all they say a picture speaks a thousand words and this way people can decide for themselves what to do!!!by Vicky - Halkidiki
Re: Fire in Hanioti - 17 years ago
beca I'm with you on the one.....finding it hard to know which side to take but i guess i'll find out myself next week!!by Vicky - Halkidiki
Re: Traveling to Halkidiki soon???? - 17 years ago
Jo I have no doubt in the world that it is awful and I feel for everyone involved. But seeking elsewhere for our wedding is impossible.....the paperwork is location specific and can't be amended at sure short notice.....we wouldn't get a refund should we want to cancel anyway and we a prepared to make the best of this situation. No it’s not ideal.....No it’s not what we planned ....by Vicky - Halkidiki
Re: Traveling to Halkidiki soon???? - 17 years ago
Thanks Raz for your positive and kind words to encourage tourists to the area and help locals restore normality in this dreadful week!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if you don’t understand the wit I am being sarcastic!!!!!by Vicky - Halkidiki
