Indoor Beach Bar

Is this the only indoor beach bar on Crete?

The New Calypso

The new Calypso is finally open! We are just opening for daytime snacks and drinks at the moment but the grand opening first night will take place next moth. We had a very very busy Clean Monday and now look forward to Greek Easter!

Back Online! and getting ready.



Seems a long time since I was online that's because it HAS been a long time! Anyway...here I am again. Apologies to all viewers of the blog (if there are any left, that is) and to all of those whose e-mails didn't get a prompt reply.

We have been very busy fixing up the NEW CALYPSO and it should be ready to start daytime trading next weekend.
















Above you can see the intrepid Bruce (top,an old Calypso friend from a couple of winters ago) and Mick (bottom, who has returned for a couple of months) who got just a tad close and got tools and paintbrushes thrust at them. Today, Brian (who has foregone India this year) and Olga were helping too. It's down to fabulous people like this that Calypso will be ready to open and I'd like to thank them all now lest I forget later! Good work, Fellas! I'll be in the pub if you need me!

It does get cold here, sometimes!

There you are...some views of our cold snap a couple of weeks back taken at our house and at the beach near to the camp site and Paleochora Club. No, that's not white sand...it's snow.

Hey-up, World!

Hello everyone in Blogshire, Blogland.

We have just returned from a lovely 2 weeks in England and are just about to start to slowly get our SPANKING NEW PREMISES messed up enough to call CALYPSO!

If you pass by in the next few weeks don't be surprised if you are handed a paintbrush!

We will be only about 25 metres from the old place so all but the most hapless (or drunk) of you will find us with ease.

More later............

Last Night 2007

Tonight is the last night for the 2007 season! Photos to follow.......














We had fascinating conversations with German/Japanese couple Klaus and Eri encompassing publishing, languages and lifestyles. Hope to resume this next year!
