Thanks for sharing Jimbo, I enjoyed that. Very informative as we're staying at Tsaros for the first time next month.

If you can stand half an hour of cheesy home movie, this is us staying at Tsaros in 2018:

Jimbo:
Mike - You will love it, I'm sure. The pool bar is a very social place, especially in the late evening. Up there in the morning there is only the sound of the birds and chickens and as you gaze over the village far below if you're  lucky you may see a hawk soaring on the updraft.

Alas - we've decided that we're too old and crumbly to face the hill again, and now dwell with the denizens of the lower levels. Enjoy it for us!

--- Quote from: Jimbo on August 29, 2019, 09:02:44 PM ---That makes some sense. Spiros Kapovitsos got so sick of the Americans calling him Sp-EYE-ros that he started using the spelling Speros. In Greek it's  Σπύρος, and comes from the patron saint, Agios Spyridon.

Love these stories of Agios Stefanos many years ago!

You lost me on the first bit about Speros Jimbo.
But on the history. A fraction of the story is here in this thread

, one of the main reasons I joined the forum. These people knew the folks there, who were (almost) always at war with each others families. I doubt we will ever know the real story.... The bit about "Michalis Mouzakitis came home from ‘the ships' and built Anatoli apartments" is the very same I was thinking of when I said there are places there as good as Tsaros, better for many reasons in my opinion, but not least because the guy Michalis Mouzakitis who is an "original" in the greatest sense!

Jimbo:
That's what he told me a few weeks ago! Bless.
