Crete, Greece, April 2017

[Jakov Minić]

Dear All,

This is an official public announcement for a NikonGear Get Together on the island of Crete in Greece during the 1st week of April.

We are currently working on pinpointing the exact location for this trip. Chania is our first choice.
Since April is not that far away, I urge you all to express your interest as soon as possible by replying to this topic.

The idea is that you all book your own "fly and drive" tickets and that we meet up at a certain location.

The exact dates will be announced soon!

Kind regards, Jakov

[Bjørn Rørslett]

I'm all in ... Really looking forward to renewing my acquaintance with Crete and the Cretan landscape. It's a been a while since last time.

Jakov,
You have made me an offer I cannot refuse.

[Nasos Kosmas]

It will be great, I hope it will be  during  a weekend plus  time?

[Thomas G]

Interested but unfortunately I'm out. Very probably overlapping with other commitments.

[Jakov Minić]

Here are some prices and more information:

Check in: 2/4/17

Check out: 9/4/17

Single room: 46 euros per night

Double room: 58 euros per night

Triple room: 69 euros per night

[Thomas Stellwag]

can you pls provide more info about hotel/pensions, location? Is it in the city or outside?
in case I can make it I prefer double room with Aphrodite,
if she is already booked by the core team, I´ll take a single room with std appetizers 
until when do you need a clear answer?
it is a main season in construction industry, so I can not yet seriously warn you about my participation
flight times from Frankfurt are terrible - from where direct flights are available?
If I remember right, there was an idea to take a ferry from Greece?

Hello Thomas,
The hotel is located just outside the old part of the city of Chania, which includes the old port. A 3-5 minutes walk takes you the port.
The hotel asks for a final answer by January 27. We might be able to extend that, but this is not for certain. The season in Crete (and some other islands)  starts a bit earlier than in other parts of Greece. If you fly to Athens, you can go to Chania either by boat or by air.
Sorry, but who is Aphrodite?

Ἀφροδίτη

Dear Thomas,

I know who Aphrodite or Ἀφροδίτη is/was, ever since the tender age of 7. But as you mention that you want to share a room with her
my mind did not go to the godess of love (though I wholeheartedly wish that you do it some day). Is this the name of your wife?

[golunvolo]

I always wanted to go to one of this meetings. Impossible for me in those dates but doable if the next one, from 9 to 16. No pressure, just putting the information out there. If it is set, it will be next time.
   Thanks to the team for putting all this work together.

You will learn about Thomas' sense of humour.

[Bruno Schroder]

I'm definitely interested to go back to Chania. I need a few days to confirm my schedule is ok for the date.
