Hello everyone! We've prepared our Halki program for 2013 and I have some great news to share! In case you didn't know, Greek Easter comes late next year, on the 5th of May 2013. This gives you a great opportunity to visit the island and experience the lovely traditional Greek celebrations firsthand. This included fireworks, red hard-boiled eggs and a lot of drinking. To help you with visiting Halki in May for the Greek Easter celebrations, we've created a few great deals for you. These include our fantastic villa Zola, where we've put a 5% discount on for early bookings until January 31st and our Vasoula villas, where you get a whopping 15% discount if you visit in May or June. You may keep an eye on our special offers here www.3redbags.com/villas/special-offers/ . I've also prepared a little write up on Greek Easter on our blog here www.3redbags.com/blog/halki-greek-easter-holidays-in-may-2013/ . Hope you enjoy and looking forward to drinking some Retsina with the lucky ones that will make it! Best wishes, Triantafyllos |

Would love to be Halki for Easter, unfortunately it's just not possible for us next year though. Is there any way of knowing when it is likely to be late again? Thanks for the info on your deals.  |

Red is the colour of life they say. It also represents Christ's blood. The Greeks have an Easter game played with two of these red eggs. I think it is called Tsougrisma but not certain and I've forgotten how it is played. Something about tapping the ends together. Mr Red Bags will probably know.
