News Flash +++++ Police/Ambulance/Fire Engine Siren +++++ Middle-Aged Yorkshireman Claims It’s The First Time He’s Ever Heard That On The Island +++++ No Sign Of Forest Fire +++++ Updates If Necessary +++++ Ends Yes, I’ve heard it once - from inside the ambulance which took me to the hospital - for some mad reason, I felt that lying on a stretcher in there warranted the siren, so I asked the nice nurse lady if we could have blues and twos so she asked the nice driver bloke and hey presto, we hee hawed our merry way there! That was an elderly Yorkshireman by the way.

Hello YorkshireMouth,taverna on kolios Beach open? Looks nice Hi Phil. I’ve never been before, so forgive me not knowing any names. We got there late in the afternoon to catch a couple of hours. As you stand with your back to the beach, there a solid, proper white building, which appeared to be a full-on, food-serving taverna. It was closing at 6:00 as there weren't enough customers to stay open. Not sure if this was different every day, or just that day. The less solid-looking bar to the centre (also sells snacks) was open, had a few customers, and I don’t think was closing.

Gravisi last night, they knocked it out of the park. Great starter of bread with melted feta and Gouda inside. I had a calzone and a carafe of very decent, though slightly tannic house red. Everyone else’s pizza, pasta, salad, was excellent. And then this outside.

Ottimo again last night. Really very good, and a nice change.
Between the six of us we’ve had most of the menu by now.
Best value wine I’ve had this year - a bottle of Pinot Grigio for €16.
Great customer service. Good food. Nice setting.

It's a long time since I stayed in Kouk but Ottimo doesn't ring any bells so I'm guessing it's fairly new?

Tell that to Scotland which is now imposing quarantine on travellers arriving from Greece from 04:00hrs on Thursday. Ridiculous decision. The U.K. governments target is 20 cases per 100,000 people per week. The U.K. has slightly more than this. Greece is about 14.

Thought it must be new, honestly can't recall there being anything of note in that spot before, though I only go back as far as 2012. Has the Stamelos bar/ taverna opened this year?

As a rule, no. But I take each decision on its own merits.

Last day. Odd travel times for us. We usually come on a 6:00am-ish flight, but this year it was 2:00pm.
Going home we usually travel in the morning, but today the transfer coach is at 5:30pm. It’s now 12:30pm.
Sat by the pool, but in the shade. I’ve been to Agustera for a last pint.
Just...waiting.
