The photos showing on Social Media were taken at 08.30 in the rain - in fairness even high season not much is open at 08.30 - so roll on a few hours, the sun came through and the place looks lovely again.  There is plenty open for those still coming out for the last 2 weeks of the season - do remember people live here all year round and don't go hungry or thirsty - of course not the same amount of places as 'high season' however again there is not the volume of visitors to warrant this - same for any seaside place really (thinks Southend, Clacton and other UK beaches)...... This is a great time to explore further than the high road - a walk towards the port will take you to Olympia, Zest for Life, Yasameni Cafe, Manthos or turn left and head up to Arillas , passed Town Pizza & Barola our first stop Nikolettas coffee shop before going down into Arillas beach area - a variety open there.  We went to Arillas Recycling Centre yesterday and popped into a friends hotel for a frappe in Arillas, back over then to Agios Stefanos for a wine at El Greco, Barras had visitors around the pool and their restaurant also open as was the Bakery, the Station Market, Express, Condor and Vasia's shop. As we drove home Yiannis kebabs was pretty busy.  Barola and Barras close this Thursday.  I didn't go to the beach but saw Havana's is still open and as today the sun is shining again and a mild 23c sure there will be a few more strollng along the sand.  Margarita's suites along with Teresa's, Romanza, Thanasis and a few other private apartments still have guests in resort.......... so whilst there are guests there will be a selection of eating and drinking establishments staying open.....

I can confirm Havana is closed as we bumped into Spiros in his usual wintering hideaway the bear and Billet in Chester. Sadly we saw him the Saturday before lockdown 2, so not sure when we will see him again. hopefully over Christmas and of course in Havana next summer....fingers crossed.

Of course if we are talking about the same Spiros, such an uncommon name...not. I'm refering to the folically challenged chap.  :)
