Having been to a few good places in Greece we've opted for kalamaki for next summer :) We're hoping it will be just the kind of holidy we like. We're 2 couples (late 40's, early fifties) and went to Kalamaki on a day out years ago whilst staying in Argassi. If we fancy a lively night or two, Laganas is on the doorstep.

There are so many resorts I could recommend. Maybe you could narrow down the choice of islands before choosing a resort.

help please , which is the right resort for us , we are in our middle 50's , dont drive , but like to get out and about using local transport , we dont like lazing around the pool or beach day in day out , love sight seeing and what ever the islands have to offer, dont really need night life ( nightclubs ), but enjoy a drink , and good food , we like finding a taverna to people watch and let the world go by, have only been to Rhodes, 2 years ago and loved every minute , recently returned from Crete which didn't give me the same as Rhodes , but we had a great time with great accommodationand company , i am looking at resorts in Corfu and Zante , finding it really hard to make a decision on where to book .

Helen we go 11/8 until 25/8 flying from Bristol , i have been searching the web and most accommodation was showing HURRY onyl 5 rooms left or only 1 room left , so went into Thomas cook today as they were coming up quite reasonable and there screens were showing the same , they also price matched , we are going to the Antonis apartments , never used Thomas Cook before always used Thomson , we also have great flight times going out 13.10 and returning 21.25, we also paid for the extra luggage

the old 'hurry,only so and so rooms left!" ploy,what it means is "only so and so rooms left AT THIS RATE OR LINKED TO THIS EXACT FLIGHT",they don't actually mean there's no rooms left,it's the norm for the major operators to do this for the following summer to try and encourage early bookings,people see it and assume it's now or never,there's rules and regulations regarding the advertising of holidays and statements on availabilit and these rules are enforced by trading standards,so the operators find ways to sail extremely close to the wind without breaking the rules,and it works!

Hi Llindy, we could maybe meet up for a drink. We'll be there with Helen T and her hubby from 4th-18th Aug, flying from Cardiff. We've gone with TC lots of times now and find them to be brilliant, otherwise we wouldn't keep giving them return bookings. Much cheaper than Thomson's now too. Can't wait!
