On the Move

In our favourite restaurant in Matala, Sirtaki, right on the beach. Our waiter and friend (Fierry) took this photo with the caves lit up in the background. After dinner we were given (as a treat) goats cheese, grapes and raki. Raki is a raunchy wine made from the grapes that have already been squeezed to make wine, so you can imagine the taste. But after a shot or two you are smiling and enjoy more!



Such a typical scene, I just had to add it.
These are the tavernas where the best Greek coffee is made.




And speaking of the best Greek Coffee, here is the lady that makes the absolute best in our opinion. She is in the wee town of Voron where there is a fabulous museum. We had a few laughs with her and her friend although we couldn't speak Greek and she couldn't speak English.


If you ever drive by and see this sign, stop! This is her cafe and she does make the best coffee.



So Debbie tripped in Matala, where she was 37 years ago, and now it's my turn. We are now in Paleochora in the south of Crete where I was 38 years ago. As for both of us, we couldn't recognize the villages today. I did revisit the outdoor cinema though. 38 years ago I watched a movie which was shown 1/2 on a tree trunk and 1/2 into the night sky. Today, they have a white wall on which to show the movie. Lask night we watched Zorba the Greek. How apropo!
