A great list :

“10 Things Travel Websites Should Have”
http://talk.2sane.com/business/10-things-travel-websites-should-have/

Just Great – A villa overlooking the endless sweeping expanse of sand, sea and archaeology in west (way west) Crete. Falasarna – famed for its beach, openness and nearby Balos bay, fascinating coastline, Cretan hospitality and fun in the soft sun.

For April only – you can rent one of these two fine stone villas, with pool, views, close to a beach that goes forever, a village for what you need, a piece of peace and quiet to sooth.

In April – special spring offer – it’s just 890.00 Euros for a week – 7 days of delight (instead of the normal reasonable price of 1190.00 !! ) – but only in April !

While you stay – you are bound to wander along the coast to the busier, yet beautiful, Venetian Harbour of Chania….or take a drive down to the white tropic-like sands at Elafonisi, or just sooth the body and soul or all of these and more…

Look at where you could be relaxing and enjoying yourselves this April >

Plain sailing !

Olympic Airlines will be bought by Marfin Investment Group (MIG)

After years of nearly, almost, maybe, maybe not, attempts to sell ailing Olympic Airlines the winning buyer is Marfin Investment Group (MIG) – a financial powerhouse.

Marfin will be the new owner of the legendary airline once owned by Aristotle Onassis and later left to wither in the hands of the Greek state and its sour, dowdy employees.

Marfin will turn this into a dynamic entity – an airline fit to fly again.

Everyone can now look forward to boarding an Olympic flight with smiles – both on the faces of passengers, and hard though it is to imagine, the fine faces of future (or re-programmed ? ) Olympic employees.

Bravo Mr Vgenopoulos and good luck. Make this bird fly high.

Don’t be late for brunch (oh woe is me, whatever happened to Beachbum Burt’s – the best bunchin’ in the South Bay ?) !

Daylight Saving starts Sunday March 8 for the US and Canada.

If you wake up on Sunday and didn’t adjust your clocks the night before – move them forward 1 hour (make 9 look like 10 ) – don’t want to be late for brunch now, do you?

A free reminder from SuperbWorld .

Been to great places in Crete – want to go again, but it’s got to be cheaper?

(But you don’t want to stay in a grotty dive)

Well…look at the new “under 80 Euros” selection.

Great little places at easily affordable prices -
the best experience, that great light, warm sun,
feeling good for less!

Go, see, enjoy, stay for under 80 Euros or less >
