After many trials and tribulations, including a fortnight on Kefalonia cancelled again, we're off for a quick break to Skiathos on Monday.
Quick playlist created, and lead song for the break is here.
Should be right up everyone's street!

I think Dennis may try to get you banned from this forum

Sorry to hear your Kefalonia trip was cancelled. Only been once and it is definitely on my 'go again' list, maybe next year if I have another break from Skiathos.

Been twice had a car both times and had a good drive round, had nice holiday but not over impressed wouldnt go again, plenty of better places with more to see. Have you been to the maini around stoupa, kardyimilli area, lots interesting places to visit Ancient olympia, monestera, etc good sandy beaches quiet roads for driving, and food and drink much cheaper than the islands. Another favourite of ours

Well, that's an interesting choice Steve! I must confess to never having heard it before, although it does seem rather familiar ... like a childhood nightmare. I did add your last year's title track to my holiday playlist and have added a couple more Depeche Mode tracks too.

Cheers.
A few of the band left to form Matt Bianco, who had greater chart success.
I have created YouTube playlists of my Greek holiday playlists - I’ll post links later on.

Right then.
Manchester Airport - rarely have I seen it this quiet. The new Terminal 2 is very nice.
A quick look on the seating plan and, unless a lot of people are booking their seats late, the flight will be far from full.

Plane was half empty.

First morning, just checking in.
Of note, it was a bit strange when we got off the plane. The ‘wall of heat’ didn’t hit us, despite it being around 27. Maybe they had the temperature on the plane higher than usual.
Dropped of at Sunset, which I’ll describe more later. Then Souvlaki Under the Pine Tree for food, Agustera for beer.
Sat having breakfast in Sunset. Waking up.

There were reports on FB that the gyros under the pines place had gone downhill a bit under new owners but I guess you were OK last night? I had no issue with the Sunset back in 2013 even though we were in the old accommodation. Even though we had to pay an under occupancy surcharge (do those things still exist?) it was pretty decent value for money. We didn't eat much there as it was self catering so could knock up our own breakfast and there were plenty of decent places to eat in the evenings in Kouk. We spent a lot of time in Agustera :-)

I’ve not noticed a difference, but I’ve not eaten the same meal as last time.
The house white is very nice.
