Just to say thanks for arranging our 5 day break last week. The Angela Thalia apartments were as lovely as ever. It is so peaceful there but interesting as its opposite the harbour, so our only exercise was raising the ouzo glass, whilst watching disembarkation – which is always fun. We had some lovely food – most memorable was the ‘special’ pork on a spit at Harama and our free breakfast (I had egg and bacon which was a first for me in Greece) . We also had moussaka which isn’t something I’d usually choose, but my friend wanted it so I said I would too. This was at Kali Kardia, where Nikos is on a mission to persuade people to try tsipero as it doesn’t give you a headache (apparently). We also tried a cocktail at Number 1 Bar – both going for a Shirley Valentine. I don’t know how Mastihari has hung on to its village feel but it has and it’s beautiful still.
In case you are asked, we went to Kos on the bus last Friday and I can honestly say that I saw two possible refugees ( they were darker skinned and sitting on a bench) there was no sign of the ‘hell hole’ described in the Daily Mail and Daily Express. Kos town was busy and we had a lovely meal at lunchtime at The Fish House Taverna by the harbour. At no time did we feel intimidated, threatened or uncomfortable. I feel it is important to tell you this, as I heard that the news reports had people changing their mind about coming – even to Mastichari, which is miles from Kos town. These newspapers are just scaremongering.
Anyway, thank you again and I’m looking forward to my second trip with my son and his family (a first to Greece for my daughter in law and grandson).
