We love Makry-gialos but unfortunately did not visit this year,because the only tour operator from the uk Kosmar cease to operate.
We found it too expensive to make our own arrangement.
The main reason the exchange rate and also the price people are charging for accommodation.
I think more people would come if people gave a good price on a week room rental and not charge high prices on a nightly basis.
Also another major downfall is the price on the taxi fare from the airport,which at the moment adds another £200 on the price of the holiday.
I wonder if the local people with property to rent and the people who provide a wonderful service in the food industry could not get together and try to solve some of these issues.
It would make it much easier for people to make their own arrangements and I am sure you would get more people visiting.
We are all suffering from the credit crunch, but I am sure if we tried to help each other until things improve we may well get through,you by keeping your business and us being able to still come and visit your wonderful Makry-gialos.
You have so much to offer.
We look forward to next year and hope to see you then.
Love to all
Chris + Ray Wales
what the people from wales said is absolutely spot on we have been gong to makrygialos for the last 4 holidays and changed to zakynthos when we got our money back due to kosmar ceasing to exist. we are all booked up for zakynthos for 2 weeks in june next year for flights transfers and accommodation its costing us £430 each, would still rather go to makrigialos but there,s no way we can get a deal like that i also checked the accommodation and i think they should stop charging for accommodation at a daily rate but should be discounted for 1 week and more for 2 weeks. if you book a flight with thomsons you can get a coach through them to irapetra for £16 return which is a good help. let,s hope some tour operator takes on makrigialos and SOON!
