Why an all inclusive package ?
You are very unlikely to find one out of season, tell them to get out to the local bars/tavernas, they will find better hospitality, and almost certainly better food and drink.

Would be a bit dubious about burning it and breathing in the smoke, as it is poisonous.

We haven't really settled on an area yet. When we visited in March we drove around Chania, Souda, Kissamos, coastal and inland. This time we are going to look at Sissi, Heraklion and Rethymno. We prefer quiet countryside rather than beach but we usual look for anything that reduces the risk of our ...

Hi Lorraine, where are you thinking of renting. Most agents will know if pets are allowed, we have rented 2 properties in the last 9 years and brought 5 cats from the UK, so there are plenty that do allow pets.

Alternatively, Sophia in 1000+1 in Kalyves can do it for you, for a fee.

Ok,typical of Greek bureocracy is it not.thankyou for your help The reason for it is, because of all the archaeology on the island, they don't want people just digging holes everywhere. if you find anything, you have to inform the authorities. Licensed users will have to do so, or risk losing their...

Unless the rules have changed, you cannot hire a digger, the operator has to be licensed. You may be able to hire someone to do it for you.

Perhaps staring into the abyss has rendered them speechless? What is this abyss . . . is it the falling off a cliff and car crash scenario that project fear keep banging on about, and the remainers say is a fact ? p.s. Scooby is not living on Crete any more, which may have had the effect of him not...

If you are still looking, the auto electrical shop in Kalyves, opposite the petrol station has them - €30

Try going out very early in the morning when there is not much around. Remember to keep the white line on the drivers side (unless you are in a RHD car :-)). Go anti-clockwise at the roundabouts, should you come across one. Treat left hand turns as you would right hand turns in the UK and vice versa...

If you mean OPPOSITE what used to be `the old bakery', then yes. On the corner by the entrance to the car park on the front.
