O.k Pepes,
Starting this season, there will be a
FORUM CORNER
in the COCONUT BAR
every TUESDAY 8.00 pm
where Forum members can congregate and meet other members wishing to do likewise.
What a good idea! I'll be there just in case every night between 06.06-20.06 you can recognise me and Heidi quite easily from the numbers of drinks on the table :)

We'll see anyone and everyone on 8 and 15 July. And Erja - you'll have a job to compete with our empties! Is this now a competition??

Ask Eggy............
Competition? Noooooo. I will have to keep my amateur status so that I can compete in Olympics ;)
What is the Coconut bar like ?
I hope it's not one of those overpriced bars that pump out thumping music that's bugg*r all to do with Greece.
Rest assured it is most definitely not one of those bars!. Yes there is music but there is a good selection for all ages. The atmosphere gets even better as the night goes on and the locals start arriving.
does everyone go to the coconut bar not the malibu? aren't they next door to each other? sorry to appear dim, didn't venture further than the taverna's on the beach last twice we were there!! did walk up that way during the morning to the bakery, but they were both closed then! this year though we are staying at the akti arillas so we will be able to crawl back!!
ger x
Ha! Ha! You're laughing Ger!
Christian & I stayed at the Akti Arilla last September & the Coconut was a mere hop, skip & a jump away - or after a particularly good night a bit of a staggered weave back!!!
I think that both bars are just as busy but are different in terms of what they offer customers. I find that my eldest son likes to spend a bit of time at the Mailbu as there seems to be more teens there his age as well as the internet and the Karaoke disco part but us old fogies prefer the more subdued atmosphere at the coconut. Or should I say subdued until all us lot get there! Over the years I have found that regulars stick to the same one as a rule. I for one feel like I'm being disrespectful if I go next door which is silly I suppose but Kosta, Perry and Hannah have always been so great with us all over the years that I prefer to give them my custom.
We have only been to the Coconut a couple of times when they had the Frank Sinatra singer which was very good and another time in passing. It all depends on what is going on when we pass by. Only used the Malibu for the internet and to look at the turtles in the water under the bridge. The Horizon is good too with some Greek dancing but we went to the Latin/Salsa evening twice as it was so good. But the rest of the resort is quiet usually. Some of the other restaurants have Greek evenings as well.
Last summer Heidi, Lindypops & Toyboy caught a Magic show in Coconut, which was fun. In Malibu we just went to surf on the computers and enjoy a cold drink or two whilst updating our blogs. Life was seriously good :)
Thats why it is such a shame that the Whispers is no more. I used to thaink that it was a lovely chill out bar for a bit of a change. Although Ammos has certainly cornered that market nowadays.
Indeed good fun EEG. It was a good job Heidi was in full control of the events of the evening,lol. Is there a minor detail that you need to update on your blog EEG? i.e. Birthday! Where will you celebrate this year?
Hi ya Lindy!
It is under consideration at the moment where in Europe the merriment will commence at the end of August ;)
Hiya missus. I`m sure that you will find a very suitable option. I still chuckle at last years events,lol.
C U there 6th May
Ron & Ali.
Agreed - great idea!!
(the more excuses for a 'chinwag', the better, as far as I'm concerned)
Finally getting the hang of this computer lark ! Same as a mobile phone but you need bigger pockets . Myself, the better half and the little fella will be in the coconut bar on tuesday 10th june and look forward to meeting any other forum members then. Riggers, are you flying from Gatwick , i think we have the same dates , times etc . We're with Thomas Cook.
Hi Gary.
No we are flying from Manchester with Thomson. It is on the 10th June though. Maybe see you there..............
riggers.............
Heidi and I will be there 10th June and 17th as well, enjoying a cold beverage or two :D
We arrive late on the 10th Erja, but no doubt see you through the week anyway. :)
riggers...........
*hic* I am sure we will :)
i will try and make that next week
Hopefully Forum Corner will still be open in September when we come over. It will be nice to say hello.
Vaughan & Angie
Does anyone know if 'Forum Corner' is continuing this year?
We had some great nights last year and met some wonderful people.
We fly in on July Monday 6th July
Have arranged to meet up with Phil & Jen for dinner when they get in on Tuesday July 7th so you can bet we will be in forum corner after dinner
Er, yes John! What a perfect way for us to start our holiday. We are both really looking forward to it. I've been choosing my food ever since we arranged it. Probably Bourdeto and Galactoboureko for me... lol
Last year we went along most times during the six weeks we were there, but found we met people here, there and everywhere. Another regular haunt was in Rainbow in the afternoons, watching (and generally disrupting) the darts. Sorry Eggy!
Phil
See you on the 16th June
Following a couple of comments elsewhere on the forum recently, about a meeting place for forum members, I thought it maybe a good time to resurrect this topic.
