Just thought I would have a look at what was on offer for 2009
Stelios
Kaity (although it is up for sale)
Kleanthe
Nitsa
Nikitas
Elena
Sofia
Not a lot of choice and very expensive compared to this year
Glad I have booked independantly. ;D ;D

It's not looking good. I guess that TC will probably drop Halki eventually.

Spoke to Carol this afternoon and she told me there are more property's listed in the new brochure.

Asked Carol to check prices for next year as I had looked on line and couldn't believe the increases.

Carol checked the brochure and whopping price increases on all the property's

Rang up for a brochure just to be nosy. Was told I quote "we don't send out brochures you will have to go in to a TC shop ???to get one. We haven't sent them out for several years now "

Told her friends of mine have received their brochures direct from DG I quote again" Well I don't know where they came from" we don't send them out I can email you one"

Gave up and rang the old DG number but no one answered.

Will try again tommorrow

I got a brochure through the post last week - so someone's sending them out. With regards prices, I noticed a big increase for next year on most operators holidays, not just DG - having said that, we got a good deal to Lesvos in May next year with DG.

On a seperate point, I also noticed that no matter whosewebsite you go into, they are all the same

I got a brochure last week too. Having more problems with the Olympic website though. I'd tried to download the Halki part of their brochure on four occasions. Each time the email came through with the attachment but when I clicked on the attachment (although it opened in Acrobat Reader) the usual "This page cannot be displayed" message came up. I emailed Olympic about it but am still waiting for a reply four weeks later.

I also requested, online, a brochure through the post from them - same story. Four weeks later still no sign. So I rang last week and the brochure arrived within days. Sometimes the old ways are the best.

When I got home in May I phoned DG to pre-book for next year but didn't hold out much hope on them getting back to me so I was surprised when they actually did 2 days before it went live on the web site. I duly looked on the website on the Thursday and was pleasantly surprised at the prices. I have booked to stay at Nikitas on 6th May for 2 weeks and again on 30th September for 2 weeks. The holidays cost £472 and £478, this includes a £25 discount for booking online. This years holidays cost £460 and £490 so no increase! I always go at the same time when the prices are relatively low and the weather suits me then as its not too hot but nice enough to be able to lie on the beach all day.
