Molyvos Christmas Fair 2013

Molyvos Christmas Fayre 2013The weather for the Molyvos Christmas Fayre was beautiful, and people from all over Lesvos came to enjoy the fun. Snow was promised by the organisers, and YES, it did snow!

Each year the school playground is the home for the Molyvos Christmas Fayre. The event raises money for the school in Molyvos and each year it seems to get bigger and better. Of course Santa popped in to check that all the children were being good. There was lots of singing, lots of dancing and a variety of stalls to enjoy. Including the essentials like Hot Dogs and Glüwein.

Thomas Cook fly to Lesvos in 2014

Thomas Cook are now showing flights to Mytilene:Thomas Cook Airlines

  • TCX 2354 leaving from Manchester at 11:45 on Wednesdays

These are in addition to the Monarch flights:
Monarch Airlines

  • MON 7826 leaving from Gatwick at 05:50 on Saturdays
  • MON 1874 leaving from Manchester at 06:15 on Saturdays

Now before you start to cheer loudly, check the prices. The Wednesday flight from Manchester is currently very expensive. This is a positive move and I am sure that prices will settle down once the new schedules become established.

Let us all hope that this is a long term commitment and not just a single season experiment.
