Re: KRIOPIGI, POLIHRONO, HANIOTI, PEFKOHORI. LATEST WEATHER FORECAST - 15 years ago
Hi Sakis Can you stop the weather reports now as you're making me very jealous. It's rained here ever since we got back on Friday and my tan is fading rapidly! Oh well, hopefully only another year to go before we come back! Angelaby Angie2008 - Halkidiki
Kriopigi Cars - 15 years ago
Hi Would just like to say a huge thank you to Sakis at Kriopigi Cars. If anyone is thinking of hiring a car they should definitely use them as not only were they a lot cheaper than the others but their service was absolutely suberb. Nothing was too much trouble for Sakis and he helped us enormously. We had some communication problems with the owner of our apartment in Afitos (our faultby Angie2008 - Halkidiki
Re: Ideal place to stay in Halkidiki? Help please!!!! - 15 years ago
Hi Another recommendation for Afitos. We have just spent two weeks there and loved it. Sorry can't help with any hotels in the area as we rented a private apartment in the centre of the village. Visited several other villages/beaches in the area and although they were nice they didn't compare to Afitos. If you want any recommendations for restaurants etc let me know but there are loads toby Angie2008 - Halkidiki
Re: TAXI FROM SALONIKA AIRPORT TO AFITOS - 15 years ago
Hi We were quoted 100 euros each way a couple on months ago. Worked out cheaper hiring a small car from Kriopigi Cars and for a nominal charge they have agreed to transfer our extra passengers to and from Afitos. Think you can hire a car for about 25 euros per day. Alternatively, try Med Hotels transfer service. You're supposed to book a hotel through them aswell but we booked the transfby Angie2008 - Halkidiki
Re: Thessaloniki to Hanioti - 16 years ago
Hi We are going to Afitos in August and had the same problem. Taxis worked out too expensive for 5 of us so we've hired a small car for 2 weeks from Kriopigi Cars. They will meet us at the airport with the car which three of us will use to drive to Afitos in and they have agreed to take 2 passengers for a small fee (much less than a taxi fare). They will do the same again at the end of ourby Angie2008 - Halkidiki
Re: Afitos - 16 years ago
Hi Many thanks for your replies. Have received an email confirming availability and have now paid the deposit. Am going to stop worrying now and just look forward to it. Only six months to go! Have received excellent service from Sakis at Kriopigi Cars so thank you to all those that recommended them and I cannot praise them enough. Angieby Angie2008 - Halkidiki
Re: Afitos - 16 years ago
Hi Thanks for replying. Can't believe how friendly and helpful everyone is. I can't get the link to work but found the apartment on Go.Halkidiki.com. Just waiting for final confirmation of availability before sending the deposit but he's not responding to my e-mails at the moment. Do you think I should just send the deposit and hope for the best.

Re: Afitos - 16 years ago
Hi Great news about the beach. It must be a lovely place if you're going back again. Thanks so much for offering to look around for me. Where are you staying? I'm probably worrying about nothing and it will all be fine but the communication with the owner has been a bit limited due to the language barrier. I'm not complaining as his English puts my very basic Greek to shame. Looking forwaby Angie2008 - Halkidiki
Re: Afitos - 16 years ago
Hi. Thanks for the info. Will definitely visit the places you have recommended. We are going in August so I guess it will be busy and hot! We were looking for somewhere fairly quiet but within easy reach of restaurants etc and Afitos seems to tick all the boxes. The apartments look lovely but I can't find any information on them and I'm getting a bit nervous as I've arranged everything mysby Angie2008 - Halkidiki
Afitos - 16 years ago
Hi All Firstly, can I say what a brilliant forum this is. Have been reading through the posts and most of my questions have already been answered. Excellent. This will be our first visit to Halkidiki and we will be staying at the Andreou Houses in Afitos. Has anyone stayed here or got any information on them as I can't find any reviews etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated.by Angie2008 - Halkidiki
