From looking at the Nafsika webcam, I can see some sunbeds nearby

And as its parliament which has got us into this mess along with the incompetent PM its they who will take the blame. We're unlikely to get an extension. Macron is 100% against that and why would they agree when the situation has got worse since the last extension.
A no deal will without doubt be problematic in the short-term but with 44% of our exports (£244 billion) going to the EU and 53% of our imports (£341 billion) coming from the EU the desire to get an agreement albeit temporary would be great on both sides.

I don't see much hope of a significant strengthening of the pound over the summer. There isn't currently anywhere left to go.
My personal comment on this (I stress only my view, plus 99% of economists) is that our current likely track to a No Deal Brexit would not create certainty; on the contrary, No Deal means many years of uncertainty and vast negotiations. There are few or no countries which trade under WTO rules - they all have "deals," many which have taken a decade to agree.
The weak pound has implications for the resort. The lower the pound the fewer euros those of us who do not have unlimited budgets will spend. We have to consider not having lunch in a beach-side bar/taverna and instead take boiled eggs and fruit to the beach. Of course, the difference between 1.12 and 1.16 is just a few cents - the significant change would only be a return to values such as 1.3. I can think of scenarios which would lead to this, but I dare not mention them!

The currency has weakened by around 3 percent since the start of this month against both USD and Euro. Markets are pricing in a real possibility that a deal will not be agreed before the withdrawal agreement therefore increasing the chances of the UK leaving the EU without a deal.
