GETTING THERE

■ To avoid the chaos of Dublin Airport during the summer, we decided to fly from Cork to Manchester with Ryanair and then on from Manchester to

Thessaloniki with Easyjet. It was all very convenient.

■ Ryanair have direct flights from Dublin to Thessaloniki. ■ Sani organises free private transfers for all guests who book directly and the resort is approximately 45 minutes from the airport.
