Smoking in Tavernas

<< < (6/21) > >>

loftyscot:
I was going out tonight but think I'll stay in now!

Any chance the Delfino Blu could be booked for the hosting the 'live'debate......or should I just catch up with reading an unbiased report on Tripadvisor.  :o

Jules:
Re Olympia.... When we were in there over the last couple of weeks anyone smoking went outside to the outside tables without being asked to. I didn't really pay much attention to this at the time but it was very courteous of them.

Jimbo:
I'm not going to say much else, but I thought we were talking about about outside anyway.

Kernowfox:
Interesting debate.
On the one hand I can see that a polite request from a non smoker might do the trick. Equally it might inflame the situation (pun intended)
I say it comes down to the law of the land. If there are no legal restrictions to smoking inside/outside restaurants and bars etc I would say you just have to put up with it or take action to mitigate. Alternatively go on the offensive.
Its a holiday though - leave the hassle at home........
We will be in glorious San Stef for the 3rd time from Friday will take up the sitting upwind idea.....

Nothing is going to solve the problem although I must add that it is only a problem for some in all fairness, I doubt the taverna/bar owners in Sans Stefanos see it has a problem as like most Greeks they are too laid back to worry about such things plus customers are customers whether they smoke or not so opinions whether they are constructive or otherwise will change nothing. No laws are be broken and even if they were I doubt very much that the 'thought' police will  arrive in Greece anytime soon, there will be no segregation and of that I am sure. By all means feel free to approach each and everyone Taverna owner and put forward your case for non smoking and smoking area's but be prepared for rejection and quite right too, it is their country and we are merely visitors and for me I am far too busy enjoying my holiday to bother about someone smoking, getting drunk or running along the beach wearing nothing but a smile, although I must admit that I was not struck on Gavlah's pink man thong which he was sporting this year, I spotted him on the webcam, bring back the leopard print one Gav ;D ;D ;D but it is his choice. :)
