But apart from 09, 12 and 14, when I tried other Greek Islands. Yes. I try to do two holidays a year, one in Stalis and one elsewhere. I can go there alone as I know it that well. Think I’ve been there 5 or 6 times on my own just to get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did Fertilia in Sardinia 4 years in a row 08-11 and Dalyan 17,18,19 so i get that familiarity thing when you find somewhere you like. I quite like doing 1 holiday i've been before and 1 or 2 I haven't each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been on a night out when golfing there, and again on a couple of nights during stag holiday. I’d like to see what it’s like for a week. With my mates, it’s hard to justify to their wags a vegas or ashes trip! So it’s cheap and cheerful, keep it <£1000 all in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Quickly coming to the realisation that I can't really be arsed with the stress, uncertainty and sheer faff of trying to go abroad this year. Battling the scramble to get something booked (probably at inflated prices) when the green list is announced & then stressing about whether they'll still be "green" by the time we're returning from holiday. Still probably having to wear masks on holiday, with one eye constantly on the news for restriction updates. Bugger that. Got 3 Camping weekends & 1 Glamping trip (Mon-Fri) booked in the UK this summer & that'll do. Use the money saved to hopefully go large next year instead (Maldives/Mexico) Zag zig, i-Ram and ariotofmyown 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 The hotel I'm (hopefully) stopping at has its own fully equipped Covid lab, where you can be tested everyday foc if you wish. Staff are tested daily too, last year they didn't have a single positive result in any of the hotels in their group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The room description included a healthy complimentary minibar, which I took to mean a large selection of alcoholic drinks. Turns out it was a mini fridge stocked with carrot juice and water.

Mostyn6 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Grant Shapps you Bamford. Looks like we need to make a decision. a) ride it out and hope Crete goes Green in 3 weeks time or b) switch to Portugal now before the price hike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They way this Govt reacts is everything short of logical. Who knows what they'll do on the 3 week review date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
