THE API FORM 2011
Hi Folks Don't Forget To Fill In Your API Forms Before You Get To The Airport
What if API is not completed?
If passengers fail to provide all necessary information this will result in delays at both their UK departure and arrival airport and could result in denied boarding or denied entry to the destination country. It is therefore very important they are informed of this requirement.
Who is required to provide Advanced Passenger Information?
All passengers are required to provide Advanced Passenger Information. Our website is designed to collect information from all customers booking through Thomas Cook Group Tour Operators (Thomas Cook, Airtours, Sunset, Manos, Neilson, Club 18-30, Direct Holidays, Airfares, Return flights booked on Flythomascook, Flexibletrips).
Thomson, Olympic etc
The API form can only be completed between 28 days and 7 days prior to departure.
ps We have done ours over the phone with Thomson's already and we've still got 72 days to go.

FOP MEET AT FUSE....WHAT A NIGHT !!!!
Was a great success...we had a brilliant evening with about 50 Fopper's turning up. Fantastic to see so many and finally putting faces to names. Friendships were well and truly made by those of us that had only been 'virtual' friends!! I know some people were a bit 'unsure' (me included) about meeting everyone but for me ...it was great !!
Those of you that came THANKYOU for making it a night to remember !! I will get some piccies on as soon as I can (theres lots of them) but I do need to edit some of them hahahaha
A fantastic time was had by everybody even those that can't remember ;-)
Phil was very happy with the turnout and showed his appreciation with the Black Sambuka !!! He will add his own comments when he returns from his 'little bit of paradise' !!
Thanks to Kyriakos and his staff for brilliant service.

Passenger duty
UPDATE ON PASSENGER DUTY FROM THE 1ST JANUARY 2012/1ST APRIL2012 ---
From January 1, all airlines will be required to buy a ‘permit to pollute’ to cover the cost of their carbon emissions plus extra costs if they exceed their emissions limit.
The court yesterday rejected a challenge from the U.S. and other non-EU nations that the levy infringes their national sovereignty and violates international aviation…

Bikers Beware
The government-mandated crackdown on who can rent a motorcycle or, in some cases even a moped, has Greek motorcycle rental agencies turning away customers – something that does NOT come easily to a Greek business man as you can imagine!

Terms of Service
Please can I remind everyone that this is a family site with young children aged from less than a month to older friends who are aged closer to their 90's. Can I ask you please not to put any photos/material on that might cause offence or embarrasment to anyone. As one of the conditions of Ning is that there are no objectional material on the site (or we could be closed down) can I ask people to remove any topless photos, sorry but that is a rule that I agreed to when starting this site.
I hope that it doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the site.
Thanks

Greek Travel News
An enduring mystery
SELDOM elsewhere in Greece are the diverse layers of history that have accumulated in this ancient land more apparent today - or more frustrating for archaeologists - than they are in and around the Old City of Chania, in northwestern Crete.Inhabited since at least the late Neolithic period some 5,000 years ago, Chania - ancient Kydonia - was one of the five main Minoan centres of Crete in the Late Bronze Age during the second half of the 2nd millennium (...)
First cruise ship of the year docks in Piraeus
The arrival of a 293-meter-long cruise ship at the port of Piraeus on Tuesday has opened this year’s cruise season.The MSC Magnifica, a 293-meter-long vessel was built in France in 2010, features 17 decks. It can host up to 3,200 passengers and 1,100 crew members.
The vessel also has a theatre, sports facilities and a specially designed retractable roof, making it ideal for winter cruises.
Quadrantids, the first meteor shower of 2012
It what promises to be a brief but spectacular cosmic fireworks display, a Quadrantid meteor shower will kick off a new stargazing year in the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday.Unlike most of the meteor displays in 2011, which were washed out by a bright moon, the Quadrantids are anticipated to put on a spectacular show without lunar interference, thanks to a waxing gibbous moon.
Walls, towers and fortresses in rural Attica
Attica’s rural landscape is dotted with the fascinating remains of ancient military installations, ranging from massive fortresses and lesser walled camps to single watchtowers, signalling posts and temporary fieldworks. Most of these strategic facilities belonged to Athens, but others were established by the city’s allies or enemies.Blog Posts
