Kassandra this weekend? Nostos Hotel? - 15 years ago
Hi folks, I am looking to go to Kassandra this weekend for 3 nights - starting tomorrow night. I went to Villa Oasis at the start of the month and loved it. Want to try somewhere different this time though, maybe futher down the coast towards Kallithea or Afitos. I have seen some decent reviews for Nostos Hotel. Does anyone have any experience of this hotel? How far is it really to Afitby stoff16 - Halkidiki

Re: Is anyone working the summer in halkidiki? - 15 years ago
Hi vfranek, Well there are a couple of places you could stay that are near the train and Bus Station. Probably the closest, and one of the cheapest hotels (its almost directly opposite the train station) is the Hotel Rex. Try having a look here: thessaloniki.hotel-rex.tobook.com/Greece/Hotels/Hotel-Rex?citypname=Thessaloniki Another possibility is Hotel El Greco, more info here: wby stoff16 - Halkidiki

Re: Is anyone working the summer in halkidiki? - 15 years ago
Hi Antony, I live in Thessaloniki so about an hour from Halkidiki. I have worked in bars in Zakynthos (Zante) for the past 3 summers on my own, so I know a bit about the lifestyle and Greece. If you need anything, feel free to ask. One question, if you don't know the place at all, why are you coming here to work? Also - have you got a job sorted or are you just going to search when you gby stoff16 - Halkidiki

Hi Jane, Thanks for that It deoends on the sort of restaurants that you like - Greek tavernas or? I actually tried an Indonesian restaurant in the city centre the other night, was surprisingly good - note Ive never eaten Indonesian before in my life! To get the bus to Halkidiki, I should take the 31 bus from the City Centre to the small KTEL bus station, and then from there. Can anyone conby stoff16 - Halkidiki
Re: Studio/Apartment/Villa For Rent - 3 Nights - 15 years ago
Hi Jane, I understand that, and I appreciated your advice. The reason we went for this area is we want somewhere quiet and we will probably eat in most of the time, might only be one or two meals out. We live in Thessaloniki, not sure if that was mentioned before, so we get enough of the Greek night life already - I live within throwing distance of Kamara.

Re: Cheap UK flights - 15 years ago
I can't see Thessaloniki on the First Choice website - where did you find the flights? Cheersby stoff16 - Halkidiki
Re: Studio/Apartment/Villa For Rent - 3 Nights - 15 years ago
I'm not too comfortable driving in Greece - haven't driven for about a year. Are taxis possible between the villa and the village? We have booked Villa Oasis from Thursday for 3 nights, now just need to figure out the best way to get there and back. I'm quite a tall lad, reasonably well built so need a bigger car. I reckon that will cost around 120 euros, plus say 30/40 euros petrol. Thatsby stoff16 - Halkidiki

Re: Studio/Apartment/Villa For Rent - 3 Nights - 15 years ago
Thanks John, Which Bus Station goes to Kassandra? Is it the big KTEL or another one? I had an email back from and this looks promising - although Im slightly confused about the location. Does anyone know where this is exactly? Thanksby stoff16 - Halkidiki
