Over the recent years we have booked our stay in the Afrodite through Direct Holidays, Direct are now saying that they will not be doing the Afrodite in 2011, we checked with Tomson - they can offer a weeks stay for a price that is £100 pp more than what was paid this year. Tomson appear to have the monopoly?? Bill

Although we are not due to go to the Afrodite until 6th Sept. I thought I would look at prices for 2011, like you Bill we always book through Direct Holidays and any other company I am looking at it comes up nothing available. I looked at Thomson Small & Friendly again it is saying nothing available for the dates I am putting in. We always found we got a good price with Direct Holidays as a package holiday, it makes it a lot more expensive if you book flight and hotel seperately .

This is not good news. Can the Afroditi be booked privately ? If it can then perhaps with an Easyjet from Manchester, Bristol or Gatwick or a Jet2 from Newcastle, then the total price might not be too prohibitive, worth looking into maybe ? pete.

In the past, the Afrodite was allowed to keep only four studios for their own use. The rest were allocated to tour operators. I guess there is some competition for those rooms so book early.

I have tried various permatations, such as flying from different airports, different dates, etc, and nothing comes up for Roda using the 2011 online PDF Brochure for Thomson Small and Friendly. However, if one looks at Thomson Skytours, the Afrodite is available. Check out this link: THOMSON SKYTOURS - AFRODITE RODA

Had a look on line and then called in to the Travel Agents, Thomson are now offering a discount on travel to Corfu and the cost of 1 week in the Afrodite for June of 2011 is the same price as Direct Holidays were asking June 2010. Guess what ? we've booked
