Greetings to all in the land of the free, the good and the bold – Happy Thanksgiving America. We thank you at this time, for what you give to those within and outside your own fair lands. From New Hampshire to Arizona, from Minnesota to South Dakota, from Honolulu to the San Diego zoo – enjoy the holiday and come visit us next year!

Crete Hotels and Rooms ( http://www.crete-hotels-rooms.com ) adds a new triplet of villas at Istron – east of Agios Nikolaos and a new addition of a faithfully restored old olive mill building in the west – inland from Kolymbari (just west of Chania)….on 2 November 2005.

Technopolis or Teknopolis has just opened. A cinema multiplex which also offers a cafe, branch of the essential Goody’s food chain, fountains and an outdoor amphitheatre.

The cineastes at CreteTravel.com and SuperbGreece have not yet inspected this new entertainment venue….but it will be of absolutely essential and compelling interest to you to know that we, well, we look forward to it…

Ferries on ANEN’s route Kissamos-Kythira-Githio are not running.

In effect this appears to be the reason: the ferry service is run with a financial subsidy to make it worthwhile. For the winter season this subsidy has not yet been renewed/granted. We await developments.
