Re: Summer Holidays
The islands are apparently teeming with refugees. I'd be doing some research and choosing carefully, personally.

Re: Summer Holidays
Ah ok, thanks, was thinking to stick to the mainland, and drive the coast anti-clockwise.

Re: Summer Holidays
We're planning north Cephalonia and it seems none have gone to the north of there.
I know it seems like a First World take on a Third World catastrophe but there you go.
Greece has enough problems without this and the tourist industry has taken a hit already but this could set it back years.

Re: Summer Holidays
No summer jollies for me and I'm hoping you have a great time wherever you get to. Having said that, we're playing in Graz in the 11th July. "Hello Lufthansa".....

Re: Summer Holidays
Well, I'm going to Greece ... and I wave my private parts at the migrant crisis and the Grexit. With luck I'll be there to watch the final throes of their ill advised jaunt into the Euro.
I shall take plenty of £'s.

You probably need a break after them being under your feet all the time. I remember those days. They do pass, honestly.

Re: Summer Holidays
Well, tomorrow at 7am I fly out to Cephalonia. Very much looking forward to it.
It also means I can avoid the terrible crashing impact of the collapse of ..... Plymouth's transfer thread.
Watching, at first hand, the Euro fiasco of either Grexit or a cobbled together fudged compromise will be nothing in comparison.

Re: Summer Holidays
Going to Fiskardo at the very North. I've day-tripped their from when we were in Lefkas a few years ago. This will be our 9th go at Greece. I adore the place. Crazy, mixed-up beggars that they are.Prufrock wrote:You been before? It's fecking ace, my fav Greek Island.
Staying in an apartment, one of 6, with a pool and less than 100yds from the harbour and restaurants. We fly out at 7am, so up at stupid=o'clock, but should be having my first beer and taramasolata by 12.30pm.
I am taking plenty of cash, both Euro's & £Sterling so the banks can do their worst.

Re: Summer Holidays
Are you going Ryanair, without paying for the bog on the 'plane? Despite the amount of flying I do every year, I'm a nervous flier. I find that a couple before departure helps. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.bobo the clown wrote:Haa. AT 6am.
