Re: October in Hanioti - 18 years ago
Hi As Jane has said October can be hit & miss,i've worked there in the past when Octobers been o.k but i went on holiday at the beginning of last Oct & although the days were nice there was always a cool breeze,quite chilly at nights & a corking thunderstorm,Luckily i know lots of people there so always had something to do & somewhere to go but i can imagine it could be quite boby Kerry - Halkidiki
Re: bird flu - 18 years ago
I'm in daily contact with my Greek friends who have not informed me of a problem regarding bird flu! I'll still be going there on my holidays.Birds fly,what can the authorities do about it?NOTHING!I've never been in contact with birds over there & i don't eat chicken when i'm over there anyway,i think so long as people use common sense then there shouldn't be a problem,i'm sure we will all beby Kerry - Halkidiki

Re: Camping - 18 years ago
I know there is a camp site down near the beach in Kriopigi though not sure if it's set tents or if you can take your camper van there too,i'll try & find out for you & get back to you.Kriopigi is a lovely little village with a very nice beach & there are lots of surrounding villages & resorts to explore plus some lovely scenery.by Kerry - Halkidiki

Re: cigarettes - 18 years ago
Jonathan i really wouldn't bother i've tried a few,all supposedly guaranteed delivery & never recieved any,some of them very hard to get your money back from too apparently as you can't prove you haven't received them,i was lucky,got my money back but wouldn't risk it again.Just wait for holidays & stock up then!by Kerry - Halkidiki

Re: Nightlife query! - 18 years ago
Lucy yes there are clubs near Kalithea,just outside the main part there's a strip of them,loud music,dancing on the bars,open all night etc there are also "normal" music bars in the main part of Kalithea if the strip gets too lively!You've confused me with the "nearby Halkidiki" bit!Which bit do you mean as Halkidiki isn't a resort,it's the whole area!by Kerry - Halkidiki
Re: Albanians in greece.. - 18 years ago
Now now no need for jealousy Greek!I've got great friends(some of the best ever) of both nationalities & i love & respect them all so i won't pitch them against one another but would just like to put a few points to you Greek..........history is just that..past leave it where it is,if they're so horrible how come it was Albanians that offered me somewhere to live rent free when i had nowhby Kerry - Halkidiki

Re: working in Halkidiki - 18 years ago
Hi have worked 6 seasons in Halkidiki,scale of tourism etc depends on which resort you have been offered work,some resorts busier than others!Generally working over there is a great experience,you meet lots of fab people but has it's downsides to such as the money not being great & very long hours especially at the height of the season(depending on what sort of work you've been offered)Best tby Kerry - Halkidiki

Re: Albanians in greece.. - 18 years ago
If you read an earlier thred titled "Greek charm" you'll see lots of peoples views on both Albanians & Greeks.I personally have been out with Albanian guys & Greek guys & honestly can't say that one has been any more posessive than the other,i have Greek & Albanian friends & love them all equally,unfortunately racism is a worldwide problem not just between Greek &by Kerry - Halkidiki

Re: ????? - 18 years ago
No it's not going down the pan,can't speak for the hot goblin but i know that the OT lot are hoping to re-locate,they have children to consider..can you imagine how boring it is for them in the winter there?Hanioti not exactly a small place,there's plenty more places to eat n drink & besides..it's not the hot goblin that's being sold,it's their chippy!New places springing up all the time so iby Kerry - Halkidiki

Re: Best places to party/ club dance in and around hanioti? - 18 years ago
Taxis are pretty reliable because you call for them when you need them,you can't pre-book them so most bars will ring you one if you ask but make sure you have a telephone card with you just in case you need to use a call box,also bear in mind that at the beginning & end of the season it's quite hard(impossible sometimes)to get a cab after 1-2 a.m as the areas aren't very busy at these times.by Kerry - Halkidiki
Re: Halkidiki review in Reveal mag! - 18 years ago
Yeah i was tempted to write & tell them off Anon but then Nicola isn't the first person to tell say don't do it!!!!Hmmmm we could still get them to send us out there all expences paid & then just errrm "forget" to submit the article!!!!by Kerry - Halkidiki
Re: Halkidiki review in Reveal mag! - 18 years ago
Nicola....yeah i saw that one,Anon as you know i feel the same way about the place as you.Nikos....i have the magazine here,how would you like me to get you a copy of the article?As i said,it wasn't negative just didn't mention a lot of the really good areas,concentrated mostly on Sithonia & mentioned Thessaloniki a lot which isn't even Halkidiki,was very dissapointed with it,could have doneby Kerry - Halkidiki
Halkidiki review in Reveal mag! - 18 years ago
Just wondered if anyone else had read the Halkidiki report in the travel section of last weeks Reveal magazine?I was dead excited when i saw it but then i read it & can honestly say it's the biggest pile of you know what!!!!!Certainly wouldn't make me want to go there if i hadn't already been,it wasn't negative just very vague & didn't do the area justice,in fact it didn't even mention thby Kerry - Halkidiki
