Ligres Beach
« on: January 02, 2010, 10:26:05 PM »
Hi Y'all
I have a friend of mine who stayed at Ligres Beach a couple of years ago, and she insists that she went though a Gorge to get there!
She went through Spilli then obviously turned right into the Gorge and then down into Ligres, so she says and who am I to not believe her. She's a woman after all  
I've driven to Ligres a couple of times and I've never encountered a Gorge and cannot find one on any map.
So does anyone else know of a gorge on the way to Ligres Beach, from just outside Spilli?

I just had a thought! I get them you know  
You can get to Ligres if you take the road to Preveli and take a left at the beach, and follow the beach road. I've done that as well. It's a long way round but it can be done. Maybe she thought that road was a gorge!

Agreed! Undescribable! I haven't had any Retzina for years, and to be honest I can't say I miss it.

I love the stuff. This bottle was from Morrison s,   Attica or something like that. a yellow label, It's £4.99 for a 70cl bottle here or the same stuff in Plakias was about £3.00 for a huge bottle last time I looked but couldn't find a way to get it home!
Still struggling for the Easter break we need to be in Gat  Wick for a 06:55 take off with sqeezy jet. Time will tell !

I used to drink it all the time with dinner when in Plakias and elsewhere by the jug full. I was asked to bring some back a few years ago, and it's still sitting in a fridge in Eastbourne. Maybe I'll nick it back, she won't drink it all, if any.

Why not stay over night in the Gatwick Manor hotel? They even taxi you to the airport in the morning. S*d the expense, you're on holiday!!

A bit pricey, £110 plus the taxi fare and my bar bill?  Might be better to get up early from Hinckley.

I suppose you're right Barny, I completely forgot about the 'bar bill'.
