Re: prices in greece at the mo x - 12 years ago
Hi All I really do have to agree with Jane, we have been going to Kriopigi now for the last 6 years and this year when we were there at the end of June prices had soared from last year. Unleaded petrol was on average 1.65 euros a litre and seeing as its more or less a euro for a pound these days thats what I call expensive, local beers and wines were still pretty reasonable at average 2.50 a pby Mr Steve - Halkidiki
Re: Just got back from Kriopigi - 12 years ago
Hi Vanessa Is it the Kassandra Bay hotel you are talking about? If so the season is almost over out there then in october, alot of places close down for the winter at the end of september. I know that Kassandra bay closes around the 09/10/11 everywhere else will be closing down then as well, the weather can be quite cold at that time of year. Shame you cant get out there next month, you wouldby Mr Steve - Halkidiki

Re: prices in pefkohori and hanioti - 12 years ago
Hi Just got back from a week in Kriopigi yesterday, I found that it has gone up in price out there, Food is about the same price as it has been for the last couple of years, depending on where you eat that is, but drinks seem to be very expensive this year unless you stick to the local beers which most places were charging between 2 to 2.50 euros for a pint, spirts are very expensive.

Hello to the regulars of this forum and all the new people.

Re: Just got back from Kriopigi - 13 years ago
Hi I know Kassandra Bay Hotel well, you will have a great time, Alan and Renata are great people and will look after you well. The restaurants up in the village itself are all very good, the best is up in the old main square at the back of the village away from the main road, Big George owns it and the food is fantastic, If you want a good Greek Night go to the Akropolis along the main road onby Mr Steve - Halkidiki

Hello Sakis Just a quick hello to you and a thank you for the great car hire you provided us with again this year, the saturday night Greek Night was up to its usual high standard and great fun as always.

Re: Expert Advice Needed - 13 years ago
Hi TZ Yes there is a bus that goes from Kriopigi to Thessaloniki centre, they are ok but sometimes a bit unreliable, Kriopigi beach is clean and very nice, beach shoes are a good idea but it is pretty sandy in places, one cruise I know about is the mount Athos cruise which runs daily but from Sithonia which is on the next pennisula over. Hope this is some help any more questions please ask.by Mr Steve - Halkidiki

Re: sakis acropolis taverna kriopigi - 13 years ago
Hi Donna Very brave thinking of hiring scooters, they would be a lot of fun, careful where you hire them from though, I think I must be too old now, prefer the comfort of a car, also check your travel insurance as most companys wont cover you for scooters if the worst was to happen. Where you staying in Kriopigi? we are at the Kassandra Bay Hotel, 5th time there now so shows we like it, when yby Mr Steve - Halkidiki
Re: sakis acropolis taverna kriopigi - 13 years ago
