That salad looks good. Best greek salad we ever had was at Lighares taverna.. we still talk about it 5 years later. The bread with it, the tomatoes oh my so tasty. Pity we dont like olives 🙄😁

I didn’t mind the climb but I hate heights, there was no hand rail when I went until very near the top. I was hugging wall on way up. I don’t know how meryl Streep ran up it

Pity we dont like olives 🙄😁 I have to agree, Ligharies Greek salad is one of my indulgences. Vera doesn’t like olives or olive oil so I get the lot, ordering extra bread and pigging it with bread and oil (and feta and tomatoes). (And cold beer). Bliss. Cariad, surely Meryl Streep never ran up those steps, musta bin a body double and crafty camera work. Having said which, I envy the physical ability of everyone who is capable of getting up there, but there’s no way my heightsophobia would let me set foot on so much as the first step!

I don’t know how meryl Streep ran up it I’m absolutely awful with heights, but there’s a good handrail now, and I wasn’t bothered at all. I’m not sure you see MS run all the way up in the film, just ‘towards’. And I don’t think you even see her get to the start of the actual steps - I’ll have to watch that bit again.

Right, the trip was fantastic. The church first stop, then Skopelos Town, then Lalaria Beach.
I wasn’t massively impressed with the latter, but I’m glad I’ve been there. Suffice to say, the girls loved it.
Last night was Polikratis. I can’t remember the details, but I think mushrooms and zucchini croquettes to start, for mains Greek Salad, a large rump steak which the girls shared, dad had the polikratis chicken, I had the veal meatballs. Two bottles of house rose. Two bottles of coke/Fanta. Prices later.
Great food, lovely service, we’ll be back.
SWMBO arrived today - better late than never. Trying to keep it a surprise for the kids. I’m going to walk to the airport to meet her, I hope I can fool Theo into coming along.

Sorry, yes that Greek salad yesterday was excellent. The kids ate quickly and took off to explore, and I was left in peace for an hour to finish the lunch.
When you sit in an idyllic place like that, with a lunch like that, and without a care in the world, we’ll that’s why we all come here, isn’t it.

In the cafe/viewing area. I’ve fooled Theo into coming with me. Flight arrives in 3 minutes - but there’s a TUI plane on the runway, so that might be delayed.
For the record, from the front door of the Alkyon to being sat up here was almost exactly 25 minutes, though we did stop for maybe 2 minutes to watch a plane coming in to land (more on that later). That’s walking at a very comfortable pace.
