Thanks Kelvin.
Seems the best course of action would be a taxi to meet us at the airport and maybe hire a car on the last two days.  If we decide against it we can book a return taxi in the resort.
We need to pay the deposit direct to Magda now, trouble is they want it paying direct into their account and our bank wants £25 for the privilege.  Seems a rip off, don't know if there's an easier way?  They don't accept card payments.
                    
                                    
            
                
                A BACS payment takes around 5 days and is free the Chaps payment is usually £25 and money is transfered same day, id ask them if they can wait 5 days.
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                We had exactly the same problem when we booked a hotel in Monemvasia on the internet last year. I decided to phone the hotel to see if there was an alternative and was told ' OK forget the deposit we'll see you when you get here' When we arrived our room was ready, every other room was full. Only in Greece!!!
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                Jude..... I'd have a word with the boys at Magda's and explain the problem, I am sure they will come up with an answer.... typical of the Banks here, another rip off!....
                
                
                
                                    
            
            
        
                
                Thanks for your replies.
I was thinking along the same lines so emailed Magdas yesterday.
In the meantime, hubby went into bank and paid it!!! 
 
He tried a different bank and got a bargain price of £15, not.
Never mind, we're booked now Now for flights....cheapest so far seems to be with excel, just under £600 for the two of us.

                Me again,
Booked the flights today, decided to pay a little more for decent times, going with First Choice.
Now I can officially get excited!

                Glad to hear you got sorted out, but I would have waited till nearer the time for the flight booking...still you've done it now.... REally look forward to it!
