Allan, I don't know about neighbours, because I'm staying at the Taxiarchis this year. The Makrakis was a bit far away from Jean's for my liking late at night (plus I prefer Chori� anyway). And as somebody who worked in the safety-conscious chemical industry I had drilled into me "always hold on to the hand-rail when going up or down stairs" (seemed a bit overcautious when I was in my 20s but now that I'm getting older and less steady it seems more like self-evident common sense). There's no handrail at all on the top third of the stairs down from Makrakis which made it seem particularly risky: a long flight of straight stairs broken only by short landings where you would most probably bounce before rolling on to the next flight and emerging on to the harbour road under the wheels of a passing car. Not so much

(I did make this comment to Laskarina on my holiday feed back form - it will be interesting to see whether anything has happened - though I doubt it!)
