Gavlah - Young Costa wasnt working at Romanza last year, he was working at Havana bar. His place at Romanza was taken by Spiros, Andreas sisters fiance. Dimitri was still working there last year though, dont know about this year.
I will find out.
It was a bit busier last night with about 12 covers at the Little Prince but after the rain yesterday the evening was very cold with lightning flashing across the sky and I am sure at one stage I saw a few snow flakes
El Greco was still open at 1am with a few locals in, El Greco is now very prominent in SanStef and some real competition for Bar 38 and the Condor.
More people arriving on Monday and all the talk is of a bumper season and sold out apartments and hotels.
Prices are the same as last year and last night with paid just 32euro for two starters two mains a litre of wine and two soft drinks, 32e is about £26 which is remarkable value.
Talking to Vassillis at the Romanza yesterday and the big complaint is the ever increasing taxes from the Greek Government and that businesses are trying to absorb these cost rather than put up prices. I think local businesses could put up prices by 5% - 10% without it affecting trade but the locals are afraid to do that.
So it's cracking value from our perspective and as long as the pound stays around 1.2 the good times will continue for UK visitors.
Weather is a bit brighter today but it will be tomorrow before we see any real improvement.
