thats what you pay a good accountant for to avoid paying tax lol

its between the Kalami and Aptera junction.

Sometimes it needs police intervention to keep the flow going. I think you are right. Its going to take some time to fix the road. Its a sheer drop and needs a lot of foundation to build it back up to road level. It could take months. Am sure they are giving it their priority considering the tourist...

thanks for that.

I normally leave at 10.30 so ill probably leave abount 10. should be enough time if there is a long queue.

Anyone know if the temporary lights are still on the highway and long tail backs.

I am going to the airport on Weds and wondered if I should leave any earlier than I normally do.

Cheers

I download the cityzen app for smart phones. If you book up through the app there is a small discount. plus its convenient to use because as you drive up to the barrier in the airport, the anpr recognises the license plate and sees that you have already paid and the barrier goes up. easy and simple ...

I agree Kathleen. Social life here is much better than in Crete. I have more friends here than I do in the UK as well.

I merely posted my opinions on the fees. I didnt quite expect to get my head ripped off with silly replies from people.

I hope it all works out for you Kathleen

I originally paid my mortgage off last May and its taken them until now to finalise the paperwork and update land registry. The hidden fees were back in May I paid 90 euros for some paperwork the bank had to pass on to the lawyer, but in actually fact they didnt do it. Another hidden fee was I appre...

I will never buy a house again in Crete. I own one now but due to the hidden costs when you sell and if you happn to have a mortgage and pay it off. Lots of hidden costs involved which can run into the 1000s When I come to sell my house, I will just rent because it is easier and less cost. It seems ...

A superb company. Lots of choice and a great support system.

Yes, I have data on, but my topup included 500mb of data and there is no way I would have used that much data in 2 days. Everywhere I go there is wifi so the phone wouldnt have been using much. I will go to Germanos tomorrow in Souda and ask the question and see what deal they can do me for contract...

I topped up my mobile on 4 April with 10 euros leaving a balance of 8.44 euros I sent one text on the 5 April and now the balance is 44 cents. So OTE charged me 8 euros to send a text to a friend in Chania, And if you ring up to complain, they suddenly dont speak any English and hang up. Germanos sh...

so the reason for legalising a property was because the system was, and still is to a point, very corrupt. It does need tightening up for sure but sadly it falls with the house owner and there is probably no comeback on the notary, lawyer or developer, particularly after some builders/developers hav...

its all wrong this legalising your property business. You buy a house from an estate agent or builder or whatever in good faith and then you are told sorry that is not legal and we want some money off you. Its disgusting really. I know somebody who bought a house from New Century several years ago a...

I have been using TransferWise since they first started up and have never had any problems with them of any kind. If I send the money to them in the morning in the UK and its going to Crete then the money is in my Greek bank account by 3pm Greek time. Very fast transfers and a good rate (mid range) ...
