Jules:
Thanks for that re Olympia and Teresa as well Tony. Mozzie repelent all in hand  and Roy is still on the marmite. In all our years of going he has never had one bite. Not from the mozzies anyway lol!!!!!!!! :D ;D ::)

Denise:
I love the Olympia. I had my best meal there last year. Can't wait to go there again.
Enjoyed reading your quick review, makes me more anxious to get there!!
I have to smother myself in Jungle Formula and put the machines in the rooms , or else the little beggars eat me to death.
Even Malc got bitten last year and they usually ignore him.
That reminds me, I'd better get on Ebay and order my replacement No-Bite tablets for my plug in.
Only 6 weeks Friday!!

Jimbo:
Got home at midnight last night.

We had a fantastic couple of weeks staying at Nafsika. The food, as always, was excellent: I've heard some people say that half-board you get small portions - well, I had to ask O Spiros on many occasions for smaller portions, and anybody who wants more than that probably eats with a shovel. Wonderful moussaka, with the lightest bechamel imaginable - superb fish, and Spiros introduced us to something I've never really had before: Greek soups. These are light and delicious - not the thicker northern European variety designed for winter, but more like a consome - the bean soup was was a joy. Personally, I don't like French onion soup much - it's like eating burnt slugs - but the Greek onion soup is sweet and delicate.

Our balcony looked out over the islands and the sunset. Big change from staying in the heart of the village looking at Jerry James. In fact we hardly ever made it into the main bit of the village itself. It's so peaceful in the old village - the sea's 25 yards away, there's no battle of the tribute singers, who are spreading through the new part of the village like a plague of sonic rats, no frogs - just the sound of the sea. Utter bliss!

The staff at Nafsika are wonderful - Christos, Stephanos, Kleopatra, and Vassilis, who has moved from Zorba's to Nafsika (saving me the cost of a dinner at Zorbas, since Gillie could ogle him every day for nothing.) Could not have wished for better service. And, of course, Spiros is a fount of knowledge on a vast range of subjects. Theodora and George returned safely from the USA, where George had successful surgery, and Theodora took over the kitchen again within seconds of touching down.

Met many forum members - Waspman, Tony Cox (first time meeting - had some good jolly meals!) - Alan and Carol, Lesley (thanks for a fab barbecue!), and it was really a delight to meet Diane and Tony (dibully) and particularly wonderful to see Diane getting stronger every day as she recovered from a recent operation. And many more new and old friends.

One of the laziest, most relaxing holidays we've ever had. Wish we could go back tomorrow.

Saving the really exciting news until last - Natasha and Irina turned up for supper one night!!!! They were staying in a villa up towards Arillas. I have pictures - and will post them when I get them off the camera.

Can't possibly recommend Nafsika too highly. Want to get back ASAP!

  

Sarah:
Thanks for that report Jimbo, really looking forward to our first visit to the Nafsika.

Georgie2002:
