If this is true feel very sorry for those locals who are out of pocket - money they can ill afford to lose in these tough times.

I'm with you Jules as we prefer to eat Greek/Mediterranean food when on holiday.

That's a shame, if true. The food was very good in July.

Just not a place I fancied to eat at in Greece - - -
Maybe it's because they didn't do Chinese dancing - - -

When we went for our first visit to SS, I was really surprised to see a Chinese restaurant right in the middle of a Greek village. And it always seemed really quiet...

Personally, I'm rather sad. I really liked the food. I'm not crazy about an endless diet of Greek fare. Nobody moans about the pizzas, so why moan about a bit of sweet and sour?

I agree Jimbo. People enjoy "full English" breakfast, and other UK style food along with Greek and Italian dishes. I have not eaten in the Chinese restaurant, but have only heard good reports from people who have used it.

I think Pizza is quite Greek though!!! It's origins are deffo more generic Mediterranean than just Italian as we all think!
Think flatbreads topped with veg and cheese etc!

Do you think there's an underlying issue here of too many restaurants in the village?  I know we all have our favourites and some are definitely more full than others, but in the end, there are only so many visitors staying at any one time, so not all can survive? (putting my tin hat on now for the responses!!)

No tin hats needed! We do not know why the Chinese has closed? Lots of  Chinese Whispers! (Am I correct in understanding that the people who ran it were from Yorkshire?) More comments expected.
