Gathering the May


On May 1st it is traditional to collect wild flowers and decorate your home and car to bring luck. This is our modest little posy!



We were stunned by the number of people in town yesterday. We deduced that there were mostly day-trippers down from Chania for this Bank Holiday, coming so soon after Easter and with no religious and family requirements. It was also a lovely sunny day!




Several places opened for the first time on either Wednesday or yesterday. Notable examples are Zygos, The Crocodile, and The Oriental Bay.



On the beach new set of sunbeds appeared at the Castello end, and the exposed plates of rock at the edge of the sea are very slowly getting a sand covering.

The sea is still pretty cold, but some intrepid folk do go in!

The evenings are also chilly and fleeces were needed last night at Skala for the live rock band event!
