The Balcony at the Ostraco
« on: September 06, 2005, 10:54:13 AM »
sadly it doesn't look like we'll be getting back to Plakias this year    so I'm left with my memories of May ( and prior years)

one of our favourite things is a last drink on the balcony at the Ostraco, overlooking the bay, watching people walking past and generally chilling out, there's only one other place where a Mythos tastes so good

What a beautiful picture from the upstairs balcony at Ostraco - brought back so many memories.  As you say, it is usually that last drink before going `home`, although I am not sure exactly where home is sometimes!!  I know that more and more of me remains at Plakias each time I visit.   Sorry to hear you cannot make another trip this year, but just imagine - my last visit was Oct 04!!  Thanks again for posting the photo.  I know I will not be the only one to be sighing ........

Nice photo from Ostraco. We never went there, preferring our apartment balcony for drinks, but the view of the entrance to Mousses taverna, which is clearly visible in your photo, did bring back mouth-watering memories.

I'm afraid it was us that were the noisey ones (well for one night anyway)

We did not hear anything after long chat and (too) many rakis and/or metaxa's? with our hosts(i.e.: friends). Discussing our return in 2006 and quite depressed that we had to leave the next afternoon.

our last night involved a lot of wine and raki as well! but generally the place was pretty quiet in May apart from when Greece won the Eurovision song contest

but the first night me and our neighbours got a little giddy after a few rakis at the medousa ( and poor Mike was in the next room)

the balcony is definately the place to be after dinner... excellent cocktails, friendly staff & music videos (which become hillarious after you realise they play the same ones every night!)

Only to let you know that on Ostraco balcony my friend has met his love and last year he married her. Ostraco and Plakias are magic.

Lovely story.

Margherita and I met in a boozer in Welwyn Garden City. Not quite the same is it  

Still it was a magical moment for me (cue violins and pass the bucket)
