Absolutely fabulous and most treasured memories for me there mate, there used to be a little place on the way down the to the beach called ‘The Country chef’ ran by a great bloke called Yannis and his family, think he’s retired now, think his daughter being killed in a road accident was a big contributor to that, but probably the best food I’ve eaten anywhere in my life.

Hope you have an equally great time there.
 
Armenia in November to see Wales. I thought to country hop like I’ve done before but I should just be there and back changing at Istanbul. I’m booking soon.

We totally love greece and search a different island /place each summer.
Went to gouves in crete this summer and although it was a lovely place and a great hol, it was pretty ‘modern’.

Stoupa looks just right. Cant wait. Only a year to go :)
 
Off to Skala Kefalonia on Friday
Love the place 5th time in three years
Gonna miss Sheff & Fulham games !!

Oh well
Next best thing to being at the match is to watch it in the sunshine

I did too mate, still do, and will always have a soft spot for Greece , especially Stoupa, things just changed when they went through their financial crisis (which one lol) and seemed to up the prices for everything tourism-wise to bail them out (understandable from their pov).

I hope it’s not changed much for you and is still the cool, laidback and chill out place I remember.

Crete wasnt cheap at all. A pint maybe £4 and meals same as here.

With 2 younger children im not sure wheres suitable to go these days for them thats still cheap.
I know far east etc is mega cheap as my son was there earlier this year but im not dragging the little uns that far just yet.

I fancy albania but again, not sure th the kids.

I guess the likes of benidorm is still good value but thats somewhere i go with pals

So greece it is again!!
 
Just got back from short break in Dorset. Stayed in Dorchester and went to Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Poole and got ferry to Brownsea Island. Going to Nice for a week on 4th September

We go to Turkey now mate, all inclusive although we could go for very little as my other half’s Dad lives over there , that’s crept up a bit over the last few years but they seem to be keeping things competitive realising if it goes too expensive, people will just stop going, it’s what I like to think anyway.

All inclusives arent for us. We like the variety of finding different places to eat.

We go cheap on the actual hol and spend when there and ive worked it out and compared it to all incs and theres not much in it

No that’s fair enough mate and totally understandable, I eat a lot though, even these days, so makes far more sense for us (me haha).

We were in Stoupa a couple of years ago. We really enjoyed it. It was like Greece was 30 years ago.
