Not much to report shipmates as we have been very lazy hanging around the pool and having jacuzzis today.

However last night we tried a few bars and had a few cocktails and went back to the splendid Lava restaurant where we had Taramousalata, aubergine dip, meatballs, a stuffed big tomato and pepper, stuffed vineleaves and these fried tomato balls, which were more flat than ball shaped. I think they are made from a mixture of tomato, onion and potato and deep fried, anyway they were gorgeous, especially with some local rose and not bad value as the whole meal came to about 45 Euro.

Now for cocktails I'd recommend the ? Bar on the beachfront though its a bit pricey and the Soul Bar on the main drag which does a really good Sexy Greek for 3 Euro (avoid acoustic night if you like REM or Cat Stevens), not recommended is the Dorian bar where the cocktails although fairly cheap are at best approximate replicas and the music tends to be rubbish, like who wants to listen to Jonathan King?
