Holidays to Stoupa, Greece

Hi. We went to Stoupa for a week in 2010 and loved it. I wanted to book for 2012 for a fortnight but checking the 3 main travel agents I know of (Thomsons, Thomas Cook and Olympic) all the searches come back with some kind of error message - usually around the lack of flights. Are there no flights to Kalamata this year? Anyone know of equivalent destinations? (we've been to and loved Kefalonia, Pefkos in Rhodes, Santorin)

Thank you

Kathy

    It looked lovely - have you been? I've heard the water is much colder in Lesbos - is that true?
