SPILI ?

Well done Daisy.

Graham, I know you meant Spili really so give yourself half a point.
Cheers John - I'll excuse your spelling ... I know you really meant half a pint

Has anyone pictures of what the fountains look like after the "refurb" recently?

This was taken in 2004:

I had a few years off before that, so I don't know when the refurb was.

No pics I'm afraid but we had a cooling iced coffee in the taverna above the Lion Fountain in June 2007 looking down on to the refurbed patio area. It is a stunning refurb and with the concealed lighting, I would think that an evening visit would be very special. We also bought a bell made by the monks of Meteora from the shop run by the English woman opposite the natural products shop (visit Spili and you will know which I mean!). We ALWAYS visit Spili and it is now a very smart stop off point on the way to fab beaches Ag Galini et al hot spots. How I miss Crete and still another 46 weeks until we return. Unless....?

I meant to go there last year for an evening meal but never got round to it. I've never been in there, but it sounds pretty good, and with the fountains all lit up at night with the floodlights, it sounds quite special.
It's on my list for the next couple of weeks, 4 days to go and counting the hours

We have some pictures from 2006. Looks a litttle bit artificial to me... no restauration but a whole new place. The pics are at home and I'm at the bureau now... so I stole one from the net. I'll add some more on Sunday

Not so much off topic as off Crete .... but the particular island has been mentioned recently, in another thread ....

So, who knows where this is?

After that massive response, I suppose a clue is in order ....

Somewhere in the Ionian Sea.

I remember formations like that on Kerkyra somewhere near Paleokastritsa? Not together with the ship... but that was 20 years ago...

T&S:

shinaria:  I like your thinking .... too bad you're sooo wrong. (So, that rules out Sidari, too.)

Sorry, that's another "no".

I guess I'll have to give you lot another (big) clue that's not the mark of Zorro (or Zorbas)  ... Z
