Calypso goes Wifi

We are leading up to Easter here and hopefully we will have a busy couple of days serving the visitors who are already here.

One great bit of news is that by the end of next week (hopefully) we will have an internet wireless hotspot at the restaurant. This means that if you are here with your own laptop or PDA you will be able to take advantage of a fast Adsl connection sat outside on the terrace. Make all your skype calls, e-mail the photos you took that day or - God forbid - do some work?!!

Spring visitor

This beautiful swallowtail butterfly fluttered into our garden the other day.
I'm sure someone out there will know loads about this creature. If you
do let us know!

Ian, who lives at Sissi on the North coast of crete Dropped by
for a couple of days relaxation. Come & see us again before too long!

Hello to Arne & Tina

Arne and Tina arrived in Paleochora at the start of this month. Arne is a professional photographer from Germany and Tina is a make-up artist from Austria. The have a very large dog and a wonderful LWB Land Rover with safari tent! The have been living in Denmark recently and want to thaw out a little bit here on Crete.

Dive, Dive Dive!

Here's Mick who is a diving instructor at Paleochora's splendid dive centre. Mick has been over-wintering here in preference to London- even though the water temperature is only 15 degrees! Learning to scuba dive is a fun thing to do here in the summer and much cheaper than in the UK.

Another visitor from last winter is Canadian David. He spent some time in and around Paleochora many years ago and revisited last year. He now plans to spend as much time as possible down here.

Ahoy there, Matt

Matt, who used to be a chef on ocean liners, has been visiting Paleochora for the second winter running. He returns to the UK this week. Here he is pictured with Diane who has stayed over all winter.

We are leaving this lovely summer weather behind to visit the wastelands of South Lincolnshire again for a couple of weeks. When I return I promise I will blog more frequently!

Cherio Agnes!

Agnes left Paleochora this week to go to a new job (life) in Rethymnon. Good luck, farewell and don't forget to pop in & say hello when you can.
