We stayed four nights. The quality seems to have stabilised to a level well below the early years, but still worth the relative discomfort (even in a decent hotel), gross adolescent behaviour and limited eating options for the free music and festival atmosphere. The local Brits from the north coast gave a spectacular performance on the first night! On the Saturday we were walking the back streets when hailed by Barry (ex- Paleo-Calypso), one if his twins and Anidri Alan visiting fo the first time. Many hours and Amstels followed accompanied by barely(!)-acceptable remarks about passing buttocks (tattooed, painted or otherwise!) Later in the weekend we spent time with Barry and Judy who had peeled off from the ever-increasing Kalyves Krew. Down at The Lions Georgios was back after last year's absence and it was a good place to be!
It was very, very hot and wind-free, and one glitch was that our AC didn't work on one night:- the one when the nearby music went on until 5am!!
As they cleared up on the Tuesday we took a gentle drive over to Chania and the Nea Hora where we managed some sunbathing on the beach and a dip in the warm sea, followed by dinner and the move on the next day (the one before the referendum) to Paleo. The Nea Hora was having some problems with no Blue Flag and issues over illegal sunbeds. What we find down South?
