Walk towards the football pitch!

Not sure where that is, but thankfully nowhere near us, if that's where it is.

So last night was quiet everywhere, obviously, person going home today. Clear blue skies again and a gentle breeze. Going to the beach now!

Its good to find out the day to day goings on in the village - thanks Karen!

You're welcome David! Yesterday was very hot about 33 degrees and its going to get hotter. The beach is lovely and busy. Lots of people on the beds at the nudie end! Today we have a welcoming breeze. The kebab shop that was opposite Athens bar is now next to Aspa supermarket, much bigger and is busy. New car rental shop where hippopots used to be. 'Olly Muirs' was in Condor last night.

Needless to say, all the bars were heaving last night. C'mon England! Great atmosphere everywhere after the match. Today we woke up to the sea mist rolling in, but had cleared by about 10.30, to a beautiful day, again with a gentle breeze. The sea was sparkling blue and quite tepid again. It was very busy on the beach, I think we must have had a big influx of new people Monday night, Condor was full of young people, so a nice mix of ages!

I seem to be repeating myself..but another glorious day. Feels hotter today, still a breeze though, which we need. Busy out and about last night. Bar 38 had live music, two young men on guitars and singing. Sofia, Spiro's sister sang a few numbers, fabulous voice. Drifters on in Condor were apparently good.
Tonight we have the Abba girls in Condor. Prices seem pretty much the same as last year. Had some lovely meals in Nafsika, my favourite being lamb kleftico.

Just a quick update on the olive oil situation...
The law has been held from being enforced after all of Europe in an uproar condemned it, and so the whole situation has been cancelled - GOOD NEWS!

Alineb  Would you be able to get the definitive on this stupid rule.  Many Tavernas are applying the No Olive Oil policy and stating it is the law.  Waves even have taken away Vinegar!  Something from the Government would be useful.

[Karen]

We haven't thought about this, but thinking about this now, nafsika has none on table. Will try and remember to ask Spiros this evening. Very busy here now, lots of new people arriving.

[Karen]

Just been talking to Tom where we are staying. Can't really grasp it but they are not allowed to put oil on the table and if you want it, they are supposed to sell a small bottle to you. Something to do with the government.

Spoke to Spiros in Nafsika and he said they can't use their own olive oil , on the tables, he has many olive trees and so used to press his own olives.

Today is very windy, coming off the sea. Lots of new faces in yesterday. We're all gearing up to watch England later!

Hi Karen, it seems it's the Greek Government that has enforced this, not the EU.... Absolutely ridiculous - the thing is, most of these ridiculous laws they pass from time to time (like the closing at 9pm for the Super Markets last year) seem to be enforced for about a week, and then everything is back to normal... however, I fear this one is here to stay.

[Karen]

Thanks for that Aline, that clears up my confusion!

[Karen]

So yesterday was very windy. People sandblasted on the beach. The evening was the same so we didn't go too far. Ate in Yiannis grill next to supermarket. Very good. This morning started with black clouds, now the sun is out and a bit breezy. Going to look at the beach shortly.

[Karen]

Just come from beach, very windy and lots of white horses! Some spectacular kite surfers. Not too much sandblow, but better on a sunbed. Busy in the village last night. Bar 38 had a singer, hardly any seats left, great for Spiros!!
