Anything changed this year? Are the small beach taverna & sunbeds still being run by those that have had them for a number of years? Yiannis & Yiannis to the left of the taverna (if stood in the sea!) I know each was up for the "auction" & put up for tender. |

Hi dippylil, Today, I have heard that all is not well down at the Banana's. Big Banana looks like a war zone, the tavernas have been pulled down and there is a lot of rubbish around and there are no beds or parasols at all. They have built a large taverna behind the far left of Big Banana but it is unfinished and not up and running. On Small Banana, the taverna is open, but who is running it is not known. There are no sunbeds or parasols on the beach at the moment. Hopefully, there will be some in 3 weeks!!  I believe the auctions for the tavernas and sunbeds take place sometime this month, so hopefully in a few more weeks things may be running a bit more smoothly. Richard |

Thanks Richard. 4 weeks until we come, so fingers crossed. This will be our 12th visit to the island & we would hate for it to change too drastically. We have made such good friends with some of the islanders.

Do not fear dippylil; before you arrive, everything will be in order.
As admin writes, taverna is already open (kind of illegally), and it's still good, old Nicos.
Yannis have left approx 12 old beds on the beach, so far for free use for us early birds. Both Yiannis'es have been spottet on the beach.
The beach itself has changed a lot since last year, southern part almost gone (see my pic in 'Sunbed' thread)

The auctions have taken place for the sunbeds and there have been signs of Beds and Parasols going up on SB.
