Re: NEW SEASON new crimes - 10 years ago
It is unfourtunate that the authorities are not bothered .They will not do anything unless it will affect them,their jobs,or the money coming into the area. What we need is a TV programme highlighting the cruelty that goes on Any TV producers around?by pedro - Halkidiki

Driving to Halkidiki - 11 years ago
Starting to plan my drive to Halkidiki next month. I'll be going through France,Switzerland and Italy getting the Ancona- igouomitsa ferry. Got the car serviced and will sort out some Europian breakdown cover just in case. Just need some good weather so I can get the top of the MG down and enjoy the sun.by pedro - Halkidiki

Re: taxi price, thessaloniki to polichrono and back? - 11 years ago
The price of a taxi has gone sky high the last couple of years and is now well over 100 euros each way. As Carolinus says her friend would be cheaper. I normally get a taxi to the KTEL bus station 15 euros and then a bus about 10 euros.You stay on the same bus all the way and the trip takes around 2 hours.by pedro - Halkidiki

Re: Scuba diving/ash cloud - 13 years ago
Well I got here no problem. It's such a nice time of year here as everything is so green and all the flowers are in bloom plus it is nice and quietby pedro - Halkidiki
Re: Weather - 13 years ago
The weather in May can be changeable so It would be best to bring some warm clothes . There can also be quite heavy thunderstorms that last for a couple of hours and then the sun comes out again. On the whole it is normally warm and sunny and hot enough to be on the beaches. The sea can still be chilly for swimmingby pedro - Halkidiki
Scuba diving/ash cloud - 13 years ago
I was going to be traveling back to Halkidiki on Saturday to start getting Odyssey Dive Club up and running for the start of the season. I just hope that the ash cloud has gone by then. If these flight restrictions go on for too long it will be very bad for everyone this seasonby pedro - Halkidiki
Re: Beaches in Kassandra and Sithonia - 13 years ago
Have a look at crusso bay in between Pefkohori and Paliouri. It has a very long sandy beach next to a pine forest. the water is shallow and safe. There are a couple of beach bars there for cold drinks and food. It does get crowded at weekends like most beachesby pedro - Halkidiki
Re: Halkidiki - The Anastasia Info - 13 years ago
Hi Have a look on the neilson web site www.neilson.co.uk and they have forums there about the Anastasia hotel. Drop by the dive club when you get there. That's where I will be working. The hotel is about 30-40 mins walk to the village of skioni but they do have a bus. All the activities at the hotel are free but you have to eat out a few nights during the weekby pedro - Halkidiki
Re: Help! How to get from airport to Nea Moudania with 5 passengers! - 14 years ago
It should be around 50 euros to your resort as it's around 80 euros to Paliouri which right at the end of the peninsula. I'm sure someone on here will be able to give you the exact priceby pedro - Halkidiki
Re: Scuba diving - 15 years ago
Hi Andy an Hels. Odyssey still do the snorkel trips. They also do night dives so there is no reason why you couldn't snorklel at the same time. You can send Phredie an email at info@odysseydive.com for more infoby pedro - Halkidiki
