Title: Quick update....
Post by: Gavlah1973 on June 25, 2013, 07:56:40 PM
Got here late last night. Arrived via taxi transfer booked with San Stef travel. Great service from Tsaros in bringing us up the hill in the van

Actually got sat alongside VinceMac and his party on the plane. Many thanks to the lovely Pauline for looking after McKenzie and taking some of the pressure off us!!

Windy today, folk leaving beach because it's too bad

Quite hot though in sheltered parts.

Been for two walks round the village today, very quiet, not many folk about.

Tsaros apartments are lovely, friendly vibe round the pool and no mad rush for beds

Going out tonight, possibly Zorbas so I'll report back!!

Hi Gavlah, hope you are all having a great time as we did, two star was really good this year and a free half litre of wine given everytime we ate there, Olympia outshined them all this year for us and also enjoyed a few pizza's at town pizza and had some great chats with Stamatis who owns it. Enjoy!x

Hi Gavlah we are staying at Tsaros last week August first week September it will be our fourth visit to SS but not stayed at Tsaros before - really looking forward to it. We stayed at Teresas last year but every year we stay somewhere different. 

Friends of ours are out there at the moment and they said it is very hot.

Hope you have a lovely time and weather is good for you all - bet your little boy loves the beach :)

MIstral wind has now dropped after 4 days. Dead calm at the minute

Ate at the new Mediterranean village last night.  Service was slow but the food was nice. Prices around €6 for a main and €3 for a starter. Their pizzas looked very nice too

Well the breeze has picked back up and there is seaweed back on the beach. Despite there being 7 rooms full of folk arrived last night the pool at the Tsaros is very quiet!
Only about 6 beds taken.
All Saints Festival tomorrow

Lovely and hot today...... had a meal up at Romanza last night. Excellent service and food as usual. Andreas even gave us a lift back to Tsaros. Great people.
Village seems a little busier after this weeks arrivals..... although bars like Silver Star, Princess look dead still!
Lovely to meet Di and her hubby in Nafsica the other night. She was so good in taking our little boy off our hands for 5 mins whilst we ate our starters!

Yes we were there for The All Saints Festival which is the equivalent to our Whitsun.Our apartments are right next to the Church and the bells
 started to ring at 8 a.m.and the service continued on loud speaker for three hours.People arrive from all over the village and as many as possible cram
into the little church,then they come out,chat to their friends while more people go in.At the end of the service sweet ,fruited bread is handed out
which is supposed to "cleanse the soul".That evening there was a festival in the village behind Thomas Bay Hotel.

Gaviah were you at the Tsaros Barbeque on June 23rd? If so we were part of the big, noisy group singing along to all the old 60s songs.

Wish I could have had him for longer Gav he's adorable but looked like Speros had everything under control he's always good with the children staying or eating there. Hope you find where you want to stay next year enjoy the rest of your holiday 8)
