Island trips
« on: May 05, 2009, 06:03:08 PM »
Thinking about a trip to the nearby islands this year, Erikoussa possibly favourite. Any thoughts advice etc, is there somewhere good for lunch?

Went to Ericousa and loved it, we enjoyed the boat trip..... still looking for the dolphins we were promised to see on the way! We had a lovely lunch at the Hotel Ericousa which is set back off the beach and easily found. When inside check out the bar area which is very' Retro' and quite impressive, it's not too large but comfortable and food was very good and reasonably priced. There are other places to eat but we prefered this place, definately would go again. ;D

Sounds good to me - it was many years ago, about 1987, that a young lad on the beach helping with the first beach beds to appear,
suggested that his Dad Theo, a local fisherman, would let us hire him and his boat for the day.
We did all the islands in one day - very unspoilt then, no hotels, no electricity from the mainland - although it followed a couple of years later - we saw the cables being laid by ship, the source was close to the Athena Hotel on the beach!!
That was our first ever boat trip apart from going out fishing with Vasillis.
That young lad was called Nikos and these days he is married to Heather and works in the Thomas Bay Hotel.
Theo is his dad - still often seen on his scooter around the resort!!

Reminiscing again  -don't you just love to hear it (I do). Wish I'd known the place back then as well.
