I love Greece!

That was 1995, but still, we paid just £199 for a fortnight's holiday with breakfast every day. All we knew was that our holiday would be on an Ionian island - and that was enough for us! A couple of days before, we knew the fight was to Corfu, but had no udea if we would be carrying on to another island. On the plane, one man seemed outraged at the notion. "Do you know that some people on this plane DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THEY'RE GOING?"he said to anyone who'd listen. "Not even which island! They'll probably end up in some gotty hotel miles from anywhere! Huh! They must be mad. Talk about tight! I'm glad I paid my £599 to know I've got a decent hotel." We sat just behind him, not astll perturbed.<br />Once off the plane, we were divided into coach groups and we were on the same coach as £599 man, and the fact we were £199ers came up in conversation with another couple. £599 man glared, probably feeling self-conscious as he realised we'd been behind him and heard his tirade. At a village not far from the airport, half the people got off. A while later, we reached Kassiopi, a beautiful little harbour village with a ruined castle on a nearby hill. "Last stop," said the holiday rep. "You're all in this area. We'll drop you off at your hotels." £599 man was muttering about how some of us were in for a disappointment.<br />Ten minutes later, we stopped at a smart hotel just up the hill from the harbour and the rep called out the hotel name. £599 man got to his feet looking smug. Then the rep called our names and the name of the other couple we'd got chatting to. "You're here too. You're lucky, the breakfast is great!"<br />Cue £599 man descending into apoplexy. "They get BREAKFAST? I paid £599..." We left him complaining to the rep and walked into our lovely hotel! 😁Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955468904796560401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-52988171123249223372017-09-25T07:14:04.420+01:002017-09-25T07:14:04.420+01:00Some may well disagree, Julia - but not me!Some may well disagree, Julia - but not me!Wendy's Writinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960941625432714363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-88720009043267773892017-09-25T07:13:03.619+01:002017-09-25T07:13:03.619+01:00It was!It was!Wendy's Writinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960941625432714363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-52146012347142012072017-09-25T07:12:51.390+01:002017-09-25T07:12:51.390+01:00I've never been to Delphi, Frances.I've never been to Delphi, Frances.Wendy's Writinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960941625432714363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-67358335156706510762017-09-25T07:09:01.838+01:002017-09-25T07:09:01.838+01:00We did all those things, Gilli and the taverna on ...We did all those things, Gilli and the taverna on the next beach had the absolute best souvlaki.Wendy's Writinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960941625432714363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787438044751492963.post-3700506486651937532017-09-22T16:22:02.759+01:002017-09-22T16:22:02.759+01:00Lovely post, Wendy.

I adore Loggos. We stayed in Loggos town a few years ago and the whole holiday was brilliant. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Breakfast in the Taxides bar and evening coffee and brandies there too. The taverna on the next door beach, and the very insistent proprietor! Lovely beaches, particularly the next one along, though I have to have those little swimming shoes. We even met Neil Fynn of Crowded House.
