I'm the same mate, no interest at all. We were dealing a bit out there a few years back and there were 2 opportunities to go part work part play, I sent my business partner and 1 fitter as I didn't fancy it...

My old man's got a couple of apartments in Crete, place called Elounda.. brilliant village, lots of good restaurants, bars etc but a lot more sedate than Malia etc... it looks out to Spinalonga Island, which is the last leper colony, interesting place to visit... we usually get a car and get out and about, but you can use buses easily for water parks etc, there's a few good pool bars that the kids loves when they were little, buy a drink and swim all day... worth a visit if your heading to Greece mate

I'd totally forgotten about the earthquake in Greece until Francie mentioned it. Crete has taken a bit of a hammering, has his gaff survived the damage? I've been to Crete, only Malia mind.

Who did you book it through, I'd rather drop on a nice apartment somewhere but so much easier booking a package holiday?

We've heard nothing so I'd guess no news is good news lol..

We're going over later in the year (when it cools down) to do some work on it, bit of an update...he's had it 20 odd years but never rented it out, time to start it working for him a bit..
