Re: Halkidiki advice required! - 14 years ago
No its in Kriopigi about 4 miles away but worth a visit to them as they also have avery good restaurant.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Halkidiki advice required! - 14 years ago
Try Kriopigi Cars very reliable have used them myself,they also have a lot of advice on driving in Greece. They will meet you at the Airport if you wish, much faster than transfers. Do not worry about the drive to resort it one road all the way trust me. All the restaurants are very good in that area just a matter of choice. To avoid in Hanioti the chinese not worth a visit, the one Indian so so,by alanapp - Halkidiki

Re: rinkwhat beers are drunk - 14 years ago
Some people drink too much and end up singing and dancing and keep the locals awake. Good job they sing in tune. (ANY REQUESTS)by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: info on hanioti - 14 years ago
Do not go to the Chinese been to it only once that was 1 to many. If you do feel you need an Indian the one at the top of the village just off the square is by far the best. The rest of the restaurants are all very good 1st lesson when eating when on holiday eat in the estaurants that are busy and the locals use. The one Brian could not remember is Zorbas very good food and yes Iam sad I do haveby alanapp - Halkidiki

Re: A RAPID ACTION AGAINST CLOBAL ECONOMICAL CRISIS - 15 years ago
Good news! I did not know what to do with those old notes. At least one or two taverners are trying to help us poor U K visitors out. See you in June Sakis and family. Yiammas Alanby alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: fourka - 15 years ago
Do not think any UK tour operater do Fourka now, If youwant to go may need to do it independantly. This may mean flying out of gatwick and booking hotel direct. Have done this option myself (for Hanioti) and is quite painless.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: fourka - 15 years ago
Best of luck Jeff, family comes first I am sure the Greek family will be thinking of you and I am sure sometime you will be back. That young Boyd will have to experiance the Halkidiki thing as he gets older. All the Best Alanby alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Halkidiki Holidays who's will be there ? - 15 years ago
The singers will be reunited !by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: fourka - 15 years ago
Echo your feelings Jeff, not stayed in Fourka but been many times. Stay manily in Hanioti, the writing was on the wall for Fourka when the British tour operataors withdrew from there The East Europeans do not speend in resort. I think we are all feeling the credit crunch but we have managed this year, but with being on 4 day week and not looking good and the exchange rate. We to have close friendby alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Go karting and water park - 15 years ago
The go-kart track is in Kalithea about 6/7 miles away you will see it when you travel to resort from airport. The waterpark is near the airport which is about 60+ miles away the tour operaters do trips but they work quite expensive check with the locals first. Maybe try the Cockney Cafe they are very helpfull and have a lot of local knowlage. If you do a serch on this site there should be some thby alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Holiday reps First choice 2006 - 15 years ago

Re: Weather - 15 years ago
Do not worry it is hot in july often well over 30 c, it is still very warm at night. I always yake a pair of jeans but have never worn them in july or august, I never learn. Just go and enjoy yourself, I bet you will return very soon. We all do this what helps keep this site so popular.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Halkidiki Holidays who's will be there ? - 15 years ago

Re: Halkidiki Holidays who's will be there ? - 15 years ago
We will be there 20 th of June for 2 weeks staying nexted Hotel, will see you at the bar, always like to have a drink with Leo. Not to sure that there will be very many Brits this year (hence this post) ?by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Halkidiki Holidays who's will be there ? - 15 years ago
Yes its tough at the moment I am now working 4 days a week in the hope of better times but not looking to good. Hope the holiday marks the start of a better year ?by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Halkidiki Holidays who's will be there ? - 15 years ago
Thomas Cook as a package in the Renaissance, had to fly from Manchester as the flights have changed again this year. With Thomsons from Birmingham it would have been £1200 more ! Now need to save some Euro's. Hope you are both keeping well and in good voice. See you soon.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Halkidiki Holidays who's will be there ? - 15 years ago
We have just booked for 2 weeks 20 th June in Hanioti. With the poor exchange rate for the Euro in the U K How will it influence your holiday choices ? Is anyone else going to Halkidiki this year ?by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Naias - 15 years ago
Have noticed there is a big diffrence in prices acording to which Tour operator you use to book with. It looks as if Thompsons are better priced at the moment than First Choice. So double check to get the best deal.by alanapp - Halkidiki
Re: Naias - 15 years ago
Have not stopped at these apartments, but have been for a meal and drinks many times. It is right on the beach and close to the village. The pool is of a good size and what I have seen of the rooms they are very clean and in good order. They cater well for familys with a play area and is safe place for them. It also has the best bar manager in Halkidiki (Leonardo)by alanapp - Halkidiki

Re: for change,greek from halkidiki needs advice to visit UK - 15 years ago
The school holidays start about the middle of july and finish start of September so possable late June to mid July may be best time. Every one who comes to England starts with London but there is much more to most countrys than there capital city, and as you like nature and country side you could try our favorite part of England Cornwall. Its in the south west of England the bit that juts out inby alanapp - Halkidiki
