IMPORTANT INFORMATION.....TO TAKE WITH YOU

Health and safety

• It is well worthwhile to take the European Health Insurance card  (E1-11) with you as it extends your rights to free or discounted medical treatment in the EU.  It could help you to receive quicker treatment or stop you having to pay an excess on your travel insurance. If you already have one , please check that it is still up to date!  They are completely free and you can apply online or phone 0845 606 2030. You still need travel insurance.
•  We do insist that young children do not venture on to the roof terrace without an accompanying adult. If you have wet feet, take extra care on the floor tiles and the spiral staircase.
• The spiral staircase  should not be used unaccompanied by very young children.
• As the water is primarily heated by solar energy and we have no control over the sun, you are recommended to test the water before taking a shower
• There is a first aid kit under the television. We would be grateful if you could replenish any items that you use.  Thank you.
• Fodele is not troubled by mosquitoes but if you are susceptible to bites, it is important to use the mosquito nets on all the windows and doors. You can then leave the doors/windows open to suit your needs. Please be gentle with the mosquito nets as they can be quite fragile and difficult to replace. In the bedrooms use both hands to clip the bottom of the nets. THANK YOU ! You may wish to take a plug in insect repellant with you. If you get an insect bite the locals say put some raki on it..............it worked for me ! NB.  Please remember to drink the rest.
• We have had useful suggestions for holiday bites. Some guests take garlic tablets, starting a month before the holiday starts. Insects do not seem to like lavender or lemon. A few strategic drops of citronella on tissues, in pockets and pillows will help.
• Please use the swimming pool with care. Young children should always be supervised by an appropriate adult. There are no lifeguards so you use the pool at your own risk. We also ask you to consider other guests when using the pool.     Thank you
• I am assured that the drinking water is safe and exceeds EC standards,  but you still may prefer to use the bottled water. You can buy it cheaply at the local supermarket.
• Remember to take a photocopy of the directions outlined on page 4 of the website as well as the contact numbers below.
• You need to take Euros in cash with you as there are no cash machines in Fodele.
• if you wish to contact the Service Managers at any time, it is important that you keep these numbers with you at all times whilst you are on holiday. You may wish to let them know that you have retrieved your luggage at Heraklion airport, so that you can give them a more accurate time of your arrival in Fodele.

It is important to remember that you may find it very difficult to use your credit card or Travellers' Cheques in the village and you are advised to take Euros with you.
