Hi Pollychops,
We have always been lucky enough to have flexibility in terms of our holidays to allow our twice a year visits and recently we have both taken semi-retirement but this year has seen us visit Florida for three weeks in March to visit D's sister and brother-in-law who stay there half the year. This was our second visit to Florida and this time we went on a road trip to Nashville and Memphis with stops in between - fantastic but so different to the peace and tranquility of our beloved Symi. So this has meant us reluctantly foregoing our May visit to Symi as even with semi-retirement there is an expectation to turn up to work some of the time
We are booked with Olympic for our September visit. Normally we use Olympic in May, staying in Chorio and go independent in September / October staying in Yialos. But with the USA trip and village life in Chorio being so wonderful we will be "up" in September and of course D will spend his early mornings, after the bread run
, doing our blog.
Sitting at home yesterday and doing our daily view of the webcam we were tempted to take a quick look at the Olympic site and if we were going next Saturday there were some great prices. We have a free week in early July so if there were similar last minute prices then we might just head over for a week. It would be the first time for us in July
(E is a bit apprehensive about high temperatures and getting our favourite seats in Yiannis
