Dear David,

rn

 All about Brikis, Happy Birthday at Villa Ralfa, A Place to eat in Koutouloufari, Australians on tour, the wayward American, and a monastery full of nuns.

rn

 Yes it’s four years since Villa Ralfa put out the notice board and became Crete’s first accommodation and lodgings for gay and lesbian folk! It has been interesting time in many ways, for instance when we first opened, the Google result for gay crete was completely meaningless, and all that came up were some very spurious results! When the web site went live in June 2004 (and boy, it was naff – some would say it is not much better now!), it was about the only thing on the web that joined the two terms together and had content on the web pages to match! And three weeks later we got the first booking, much to our surprise, Australians they were. In a way it seems fitting that that four years on I should have Australians staying again. Not the same ones but friends from the Perth period.

rn

 Now things are a little different and there is another gay hotel and what used to be ‘Tilly’s’ in Malia is Crete’s only named gay bar, now called Eros Bar.

rn

 And yes, you are right, as it is the anniversary of moving in it is also time to make nectarine wine from the tree in the garden. This year it has excelled itself and another branch has broken off! I will never forget that day when the previous owners moved out and stripped the tree of fruit even though they weren’t ripe, but then at one stage if you remember, we thought they were going to scrape the paint off the walls! They even had the gall recently to turn up to see what they had left behind! Surprised they didn’t want to take the dog!

rn

 At the beginning of the month I was wondering whether I was going to have time to write anything at all this month, as the house was full and it didn’t look as though there would be time, but as always thank heavens for friends who chipped in and helped whenever, and wherever they could!

rn

 But first let’s deal with this question about ‘What is a briki?’

rn

 Right then, a briki is the small saucepan for making Greek coffee, usually it is brass or copper with a tin plate lining and either a wooden of long brass handle. You can also buy them in stainless steel with a plastic handle but they are not nearly so romantic! Strangely enough the brass and copper versions are quite difficult to buy as the tourists shops never seem to sell them, maybe because they are actually quite expensive! There are a couple of shops in the city that specialise in brass and copperware, and I usually have one or two of these in the cupboard to sell to paying guests to save them going into the city. I also keep supplies of Greek coffee in the house, as it is not the first time that I have had emails from visitors asking me if I can send them some! This month’s web page has some pictures on it, 

rn

OK so that’s the commercials done, so let me tell you about the Australians.

rn

 Now I have known Ann and Phil for a long time and it was a pleasant surprise to hear from them, telling me that they were coming to stay for a week. Like a lot of Australians and New Zealanders that are visiting Crete and the Greek Islands (not all staying with me), they were over for a family reunion, and to get he most out of their airfares, they were doing a trip around Europe and Greece at the same time. This is a very sensible idea for anyone who is coming to Europe on a long haul flight to Europe, as once you are here it is relatively easy and cheap to book ‘internal’ flights within Europe. Ann and Phil flew from Gatwick on a direct flight to Heraklion, but of course these only run during the summer months. During the winter you have to come via Athens, but even this is quite easy from the UK as Aegean has flights from London Stanstead and you can travel to Crete without having to collect your baggage at Athens. There is also Easyjet but then you have to collect baggage in Athens so you have to leave yourself a couple of hours leeway to check in again!

rn

 Now Ann and Phil are not mean, but typically Australian, they do like to keep an eye on the money so they elected not to hire a car on cost grounds, (and I suspect because they didn’t like driving on the ‘wrong’ side of the road!), so they tried out our excellent bus services! I have spoken about these before I thi

Over 75% of people now use the internet when looking to buy a product or service. Websites in the top 3 pages of the major search engines gain 90% of search engine traffic. Basically, if you have a website you need to be on the first few pages of the SERP’s (Search Engine Results Pages) to get the traffic.so how do you do this?………. Its not quite as simple as many people believe. I am constantly being asked ” I have just had a website built but do not appear on Google.” Well firstly type in the URL (web address) of your website, if you still do not come up then your site has not been indexed. If your website does appear then previously when you said “I do not appear in Google” what you meant is- you typed in a keyword (a word related to your product/service) and your website did not appear in the top few pages. To be honest, this is very unlikely to happen. Unless you are selling a very unique product with very little competition then your website is likely to be on page 23 or worse!

Everybody with a website would love to be #1 on google for their main keyword, but it takes time and effort. You need to optimise your website for the best chances of achieving this.

After crawling the internet using robots called “spiders”, the SE’s use a complex mathematical formula to “rank” websites on importance and relevance to certain keywords. These formulas are known as “algorithms”. SEO describes the techniques that use a knowledge of how SE’s rank websites, to make alterations to a site so that it better “adheres” to the “algorithms”.

There are to main phases to the optimisation process- “on page” and “off page”. On page is the alterations that are made to the physical content of a website and the code that makes up each webpage. This includes intergrating keywords into areas of the site that the SE’s deem important. Off page optimisation is the process of building links to a website…… what this means is getting as many websites to have a link somewhere on their site to the site you are optimising. This is very important because a major part of SE’s “algorithms” is link popularity- the more websites that link to another, the more important it is considered by the SE’s and the higher up it appears in the SERP’s.

Of course there are many more technical issues involved with Search Engine Optimisation but i wont discuss these in this article.. One thing that you should remeber though when thinking about SEO is that it certainly is not instant. Due to the way search engines work it may be several months before the friuts of your labour are seen, in the form of higher rankings.Google currently indexes over 8 billion web pages and the ever increasing size of the internet means that the SE’s certainly have their work cut out.

Many companies manage their own SEO in doll house furniture, this can work fine but be willing to put in the time to learn the technicalities. The “nity gritty” of it can be slighly overwhelming as it is quite a specialist, technical field.

A flight to Amsterdam is the most popular option for travellers from the UK. Out of all the Airlines to Amsterdam, Easyjet is the biggest carrier. Londoners are spoilt for choice and can opt to take an Easyjet flight from Gatwick, Standsted or Luton. After Easyjet, KLM (the Dutch national air carrier) is the next biggest carrier and operates flights from both Heathrow and City Airport. The latter though, is usually an expensive option and only used by business travellers.

The most popular is the Dutch Flyer (formerly known as the Amsterdam Express) service. Using an all-inclusive ticket, travellers can depart via train from London Liverpool Street station to Harwich on the east coast of England. From there they can take a ferry to Hook in Holland — Amsterdam Central Station is only a short train ride away from here.

Whilst taking a ferry to Amsterdam takes considerably longer than flying, it is much cheaper and there are less stringent time requirements for check-in. Added to this, the ferry is more of an “experience”, boasting two cinemas, restaurants, bars and gaming.

Further Afield in the UK, Easyjet operates from regional hubs but there are also even smaller airlines such as Jet2 that flies from Newcastle, Manchester and Leeds Bradford airports.

KLM run a frequent service from this airport using their Fokker 50 propeller aircraft. A little known airline known as VLM also fly from here. Both airlines run several flights every day which are especially popular with executives. The aero planes are so small, however, that the same standard applies and there are no separate economy and business classes.

In the next few months, British Airways will also be flying from City to Schipol so hopefully this will put downward pressure on prices but only time will tell.

Amsterdam airport is the 4th biggest European hub with hundreds of airlines flying in.

KLM

KLM isn’t considered to be a discount airline, but since they are based in Amsterdam, they can provide good rates for flights there. The have routes to and from Amsterdam from many countries, across all 5 continents.

BMIbaby

BMIbaby is the discount arm of BMI, and they have cheap tickets to Amsterdam from some UK airports but not as many as you’ll find with British European.

Ryan Air

Ryan Air flies into Eindhoven from a number of cities in Europe, such as London, Dublin, Stockholm, and Marseille. They also service destinations in Spain and Italy. There is regular train service between Eindhoven and Amsterdam, with the trip taking only 90 minutes.

Finding cheap Amsterdam airline tickets is not difficult. You can use one of the sites that compare all available tickets for you and give you the best price within a few seconds and clicks.
