Starting to hope and think that by September 2021 things may be returning to some semblance of normality so started browsing the Olympic Site but could not see any mention of one of our favourite properties - Anastasia's.
Could it be she is now fully booked for the whole season - would love that to be true for obvious reasons but thought that might be unlikely.
Could it be that Olympic and Anastasia is no longer an item ?
Are the rooms available through other means ?
Anyone know ?

Hi, sorry I can't answer your query but just wanted to say kalispera. Let's hope we can all get there Sept '21.

Everytime I've checked Olympic availability for 2021 over the past few months, for various dates from May to September, I've noticed that Anastasia hasn't been coming up. I can't imagine that she's fully booked for the whole season. I know that in the past Anastasia has been exclusive to Olympic - have you rung Olympic to ask them? I'm no idea what I'm doing next year yet as we're still waiting to go on our delayed Cyprus holiday that should have happened in June 2020, changed to September and then changed to June 2021. Once I know what's happening with that I might start to think about September.

We are usually booking our flights about now for next September but will probably wait awhile, even though we're champing at the bit to get our usual accommodation booked :)

Have just read the posts re Annastasia, We are booked for May 2021, but this is a roll over of our booking for 2020, we were given the option of our money back or just re booking. As this is through Olympic I would have thought we may have heard if there was a problem. We used Hays Travel to book, so maybe we had better check again, its a long time since May.

I have had a couple of emails relating to the Anastasia apartments in Chorio. This is the situation at the time of writing.

I spoke to Anastasia on 29th December. Olympic have not contacted her about 2021 or longer despite her ringing their Cyprus head office in November.

Our suggestion is that people should enquire by phone to the London office so that they might pull their finger out. If nothing happens then she may rent the apartments separately and visitors make their own travel arrangements.

It is up to Olympic to pull their finger out and consumer enquiries could well get them to do something.

Gemma, They are both well and a further Great Grand child was born in the Autumn, although Sam is beginning to move around more slowly.

Good of you to update us Peter and a Happy New Year to you.
Also for the good news regarding the family.
We will certainly enquire of Olympic as you suggest.
Take care and stay safe and well.

Further update about Anastasia's in the Village.

There is no contract with Olympic this year. She will be letting out rooms 1 to 4 (downstairs) via one or two of the platforms. This will be sorted in the next few weeks as will the prices.

I hope to see many of you in the summer.

Thanks for the update Peter. I have many fond memories of staying at Anastasia and Sam occasionally bringing me eggs from the farm :D

Further update.

Anastasia has decided not to use any of the usual booking platforms. Until a web presence has been developed, I can be messaged regarding bookings.
