2008 ACCOMODATION PRICES
As we have stated we are not a holiday firm, we are divers who have visited Palinuro on many occasions and whilst there, we have negotiated accommodation and travel deals for British divers with the local Tourist Board, who are very keen to encourage tourism to the area. These prices are guaranteed and secured with the Tourist Board and what you see is what you pay.
We are CURRENTLY BOOKING the following 2008 dates ;
Tuesday 9th September until Thursday 18th September accomodation yet to confirmed, places are available on a first come first serve basis.
UPDATE 17 MAY 2008
We have four diver places available for the above dates. We are staying in the 'Le Tre Caravella' Hotel and the cost is £270 B&B plus £50 coach transfer (£25 each way). The cost of your diving is payable direct to the dive company in resort. If you are intrested in joining us then please contact us for further information.
We are also booking other dates throughout the year with the exception of August which is an Italian National holiday and room availability is scarce and very expensive.
