Thursday : Our Port Day
With back to back beach days out, as in out out, D’s itinerary provided for a later start to the day and an opportunity for some retail therapy should that be desired.
The bread walk and breakfast over the plan was to rendezvous in Cafe Aiglios which we did late morning for refreshments. It was then a day of each of us heading to wherever they wanted to go and rendezvousing at our usual watering holes - Corner Bar, Elpida’s and Cafe Alegrito.
We fitted in a pitta giros lunch at the long established place next door to the herb stall opposite the Custom House. The guy who runs the place has relentlessly stood outside his little gyros “bar” trying to capture the passing trade for as long as we can remember. For €2.50 it is difficult to beat this delicacy in terms of taste and value for money.
Our final rendezvous was in Alegrito where purchases were compared with D coming a very poor third
Then after some hilarious musical chairs in Alegrito,% as we tried to fit in the growing number of people meeting up with friends and relatives, the trusty taxi service took us up the hill and we were showered and changed and in Yannis by around 8pm.
Having been down the night before and all day we had decided that we would bring Zoë’s forward by a night and so off we trotted. Thankfully the Taverna was not as packed as the previous week and so there was time to catch up on family news and enjoy a fine dinner of dolmades and beetroot to start. This was followed by bream cooked on the bbq for D and a very nice piece of fish this proved to be; G went for the chicken with cashew and as it came with rice had a portion of the real chips that are so good; and E had perfectly made moussaka. This was followed by a a sumptuous piece of semolina cake with fruit through it - very nice indeed.
We had been given our returning orders earlier so we wandered home under the growing moon thinking that we only have two days left in this magical place.
