Hi there

If you give them a call, you can also request/obtain a copy of their brochure, which is quite informative.

When we discovered them last year I emailed them at 12.01am on Sunday morning. At 10.00am I had an email with the relevant page from the brochure. Earlier this year we called in and got a pile of brochures from him for friends. Some of whom have booked with them. We are off to Cuprus agin with them in October.

Hi there
We were supposed to be going to Astir Beach from Manchester on 30th Aug at 12.15pm but have today had a letter saying they are overbooked and we are now staying at Europa Beach.
Has anyone else had the same letter?
Has anyone stayed there?
Any comments?

Havent read any comments on this site about Europa Beach but it looks ok from the brochure and seems to be more expensive in price.
See you there then!

I am also going to astir beach in gouves on 30th august from manchester. ive not had any letter to say theyve changed my hotel so am hoping that everythings ok and dont have hassle of it being changed when get there. Does anyone know which terminal at manchester the flight is from (Flight no is VIK7323A)? Also, I only got the flight coupons in post, nothing else, this sounds standard for hellenic so not too worried, but just wondering if i just have to hand these coupons in at check in or do i have to exchange them for "tickets" at airport or anything? not done package before so not sure exactly how works!
cheers

just about finished packing! Any ideas on the weight limit - is it 30KG?
Anyone been with Viking before? Just wondered what happens if you go over the limit?
Reply
the European health and safety rules are no one bag over kg as for your allowance it should be on your ticket

As far as I am aware from talking to them the allowance per person on all Hellenic holidays is 20kg

what if your case weights more? Can you pay for the extra?

Lots of information on the subject of Excess Baggage on the link below. Very simply there is a limit of 30kg per case. Above that they will not take it. Over your allowance of 15/20kg depending who you are booked with and the allowance they give you they will charge you. Reckon on around £5.00 per kg but it could be more. You really need to look at what you are taking. The charge will be made both ways, so if for example they charge you £50 from the Uk you will also be charged £50 coming back. Bit expensive. You really need to ask yourself do you need to take all that. Remember each person has an allowance. Read the topic for more info.
