Stayed twice at Argostoli and once at Poros way down South. We really liked it and went over to Lixouri a couple of times too. Hope you'll be very happy there. Keep in touch.John P.

To someone (me) here in UK all the time, I find them unnecessary and further evidence of the 'nanny state'.The system in Rhodes, if you can call it a system, whereby the timetable cannot be relied upon for more than a few weeks at a time and you take pot luck when the bus might arrive is charming.............but on holiday you have all the time in the world, I guess. I have to say that in my neck of the woods the self same gadgetry has indeed been vandalised, and you thought Norfolk was bootiful!<br />VickiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754379282583650722.post-1144291056796028782012-04-09T21:05:39.978+03:002012-04-09T21:05:39.978+03:00John Its going down to 14 C here tomorrow
