Olive Press

[cariad]

Does anyone know if the Olive Press will be open next year? Just booked for next sept and that was one of the places we were looking forward to visiting

[dibully]

I doubt it been closed for the last two summers but someone on here may know different sure it had a for sale or rental sign on it this year but might be wrong

[Jimbo]

Local gossip indicates a sad story of passion and despair, and I don't think it will ever open as such again.

When I last saw George he said there were no plans to re-open

[Teamnickos]

What happened? Normal couple fall out of love scenario or something more intruiging? The lady (argh can't remember her name..Linda?) seemed so passionate about the restaurant and the food.....

[Sarah]

Her name is Simone. A very nice lady.

[tonyco1]

I think you have the general idea, Simone is now a UK resident,
but the scenario should not be discussed on this forum as both parties still read posts, and it's their private lives.
We have known George and Simone for over 27 years, are still friends with both and these things happen in life.

[Teamnickos]

Oh I'm sorry. No offence intended, had been to the restaurant a few times so just thought it was a real shame

[tonyco1]

Please don't apologise, No offence taken at all, that was not meant to come across like that - and it was a shame I agree.
- no I was just thinking of George and Simone who I still speak to, and who have moved on with their lives.
I think we would all love to see it up and running again if it was possible, whoever would run it.

[dibully]

Would love to see it up and running it's in my favourite part of the village

[Jimbo]

I agree with that. It would add a little more to the old village strip - which now is Manthos, Fantasea(?), Beachcombers and Nafsika.

Really, though - apart from August - is it possible to make much of a living, given the number of eateries now available?  

[dibully]

Yes it's a shame Jim everywhere was pretty quiet in July only so much money people have to spend

[Teamnickos]

Tonyc, so glad no offence taken, I'm probably too paranoid/ sensitive but thats me - don't like to upset people! Why?life's too short and precious.
I'm just interested in SS because I love the place,like many many other places in Greece we've been to.

Listen, this forum is for information, banter, opinions, and a bit of fun...
Just like a holiday in San Stefanos....
- but life as you say is far too short to waste on getting upset because someone else has another opinion -
as I have said many times, if someone was in front of you saying the exact same words, with body-language etc... you would laugh.

Sometimes the written word does not translate in the same way and sounds much more harsh - even when in obvious jest!!

Generally (maybe an odd exception as anywhere in life), everyone here is pretty much like-minded, just as they are when doing repeat holidays in San Stefanos.

As far as I am, (and hopefully everyone else is), concerned, welcome to the forum, your comments are yours, are valid & always welcome.. enjoy!!
(just watch out for Jimbo - ex special agent - - -LOL)....
