Gawd!
Had a few urchins to skirt around last year in Georgioupolis, first time I have seen them there, perhaps it is global warming, lots more unusual fish in and around the UK coast line also.
Thanks for the warning, especially as I might be going to Cyprus this year!

So the little buggers are in Crete now! They came over to Kent a few years ago, so much bigger than anything I have ever seen before, there was a news article saying that they came over in used tyres from Nigeria. Good thing about them (if any good can come out of a pest), is that they are big and m...

Well I finally got back yesterday, all the comments that came on were while I was there, so didn’t have a chance to read, my view was that there were various pockets of pongs, even down the far end at Kalivaki beach where I was staying. Didn’t really spoil my holiday as we went out quite a bite, the...

OK guys and gals Desperately need some recommendations for accommodation. Details are: 2 double bed apartments (4 people) 9 nights from Saturday 1st September to Monday 10th September Close to beach (due to disabled wife) Close to tavernas (not too noisy) Would prefer pool, but not necessary Don’t r...

Guys and Gals Just wondered what the situation was with Georgioupolis beach, a while ago there were reports of bad smells on the beach. Any reports would be most welcome. Coming out Saturday for a well earned rest, which for me means lots of running, walking, snorkeling, visiting, eating and a tinsy...

I have read with interest all your posts and views about Kalyves, after all the years I have been coming to Crete I have managed to miss it, I intend to make a visit to see how good it is, just look out for an old bloke with very short hair and beard with a permanent smile on his face!

I too have sent you an email.

Thanks for your help.

I thought I would try a different email address, what happened, locked me out for a while, I will see if it works now.

Thanks for your reply.

Guys and Gals

This is probably an easy one for most of you, for ages I have not been getting email notifications of replies on topics that I have taken part in.
The correct button is clicked in the profile page!

Any ideas?

This has turned into the raki channel!

Kimsie What a small world! I would love to meet up with ya and have a good old chat about all things Crete. I have done a lot of investigating regarding renting/buying so would love to pick your brains. Let me know if you ever get a window and I will pop over and see you, be sure to pm any informati...

Clio Flippos is right about what was done to the pelican. Being a bird lover I was especially looking forward to meeting the fella (although I think it was finally determined that it was a lady!) and made me sad (because it would have made a lovely addition to my trip) and friggin mad that there are...

No problem, I will just slip it in her suitcase! PMSL

Don’t, we all all go out for a sociable drink here in the UK and she is always on soft drinks, she is going to be in for a shock with the rest of the party and the Greek people! As for the raki, couldn’t agree more, although I find the honey version a lot more palatable, we have a bottle to demolish...

Kimsie What can I say! Firstly, I am very jealous of you for 1, getting out of England, and 2, moving to Crete, I wish you all the best luck in the world. Whereabout in Kent DID you live? I’m in Sittingbourne. Where are you renting in Crete? Is there a place on Crete that you really like? Sorry for ...
