Well 2 week countdown starts today, short week this week and a full one next. Got the cases out yesterday and done a bit of shorts and shirts shopping. This is going to be a different holiday experience as we are staying in a lovely new villa (Allure villas) up above Platanos Taverna in the hills with our son and daughter, his wife and our 15 month old grandson for 8 days and then wave them off at the airport and move down to The Water in the old port for a weeks R&R the wife and me, can't waitππ

Do me a favour please, call in at Platanos Taverna and persuade them to bring back their delicious Russian salad. We try every time but need more people to back us up.

Flight was great 2nd time with Jet2 and very impressed landed 15 minutes early and quickly through passport control, although we were last out of the airport because we had to wait for our pushchair π Picked up our jeep and quad and drove up to the villa which is just passed Platanos taverna and turn right towards Kechria, absolutely fantastic place Skops owls pinging in the trees surrounding us. I know this place is a bit more expensive than some but absolutely worth it, look on booking.com Allure luxury villas, only been here a day and already planning next yearπ Chilled round the pool today bbq tonight watching the sunset.

Good idea to have villa with young child you donβt have to worry about disturbing anyone if they wake in the night. How lovely to have a holiday with your grandson, will have special memories

yes it's a different type of holiday to normal but it's been great. We've had 3 bbqs so far, normally cooking wouldn't be our thing on holiday but standing on the terrace spatula in hand with wonderful views of the sunset is a memory I've tucked away for the midwinter blues! Had a lovely morning in the town yesterday with refreshments at the bourtzi and drove to ligharies today for lunch and then kouk beach this afternoon, our little man loved it, first time in sand and seaπ
