Massages were offered in the rooms of the hotel sophia until it has been overtaken completely by Kostas from the Kostas Chrysola. You may ask there.
IIRC the woman who did the massages has moved with her facilities towards mirthios or sellia.

My  very good  friend  Riasa  at  Hotel  souda mare  is a excellent  masseuse.

BRIDGE PLUNGE

German tourist dies following 80-meter fall in Sfakia, Crete

A 40-year-old German tourist died yesterday after falling from a bridge in Sfakia, Crete, police said. Officers said it was not immediately clear what had led to the man falling some 80 meters from the Aradaina bridge. The German’s body was recovered by rescue workers and police have launched an investigation into the incident.



Hey  CHRIS
maybe  he just heard the semi final result  !!!!

but in reality  , what a terrible thing for the family and friends

just  got off the blower  with stellios Kaoudis in souda bay.
first thing he asked if I am in souda this tuesday.

thats 6 years to the day of our kids catastrophe.

will give Stellios a call tuesday  and have a longer chat.

I am 200 miles from Kriti  on aug 24th when cruise docks in Rhodes,
will be looking west and murmuring for  Crete.

well till next  year,when  I  hope to be there for a nice long visit.

all the best   Roger  Murney  Toronto Canada

I  cannot believe its six years on  july 25th since his fated journey from the nest.
we have a beautiful stone memorial  overlooking souda bay ,across from souda mare hotel.

the guys were all so marvellous, met them all on july 25th 2001
when we took the ferry boat into souda,drank loads of raki
and sang the manchester rambler till we could cry no more.
nikos   I  am pleased he is open again, last year I was their with my new bride
Julie   and we were with pete and riety and their leicester friends.
nest was closed so they were staying at nice place with a pool
close to souda bay  maybe its called souda bay apartments??
we stayed at souda mare    my wife thought crete was just lovely.
we did athens /rome /ondon /paris manchester lleicester and plakias
next month ,I move to florida afterr 30 yeas in canada
would have been nice to have had thomas  visit.
we were very close and I miss him more with each passing year.
will be in aegean in mid august but alas no kriti
tears about that  but with a group of 20 and cruise is venice and back
will contact you private

yes he was  "the manchester rambler"

I believe it was78 when he made his first  trek into plakias.

Tom told me many stories of his twice yearly visits.

and his walks to souda when there was only a dirt road
past the sunshine pub.

we spread some of his remains in souda bay at dusk
25th july 2001.  one year exactly from the day he died enroute to Iralklion.
so he got back to the place he cherished so dearly.

we were all aboard the previli ferry , playing the manchester rambler
by Ewen McColl,  AND FRIENDS RECITING DYLAN THOMAS

it was the most  spiritual moment of my life
we ahd a fine interprter on board and gallons of the good Raki.

Lefteris  was so moved, being a sailor he understood the significance of ashes in the  sea.

he told me that he would love to choose that for himself but is forbidden by
orthodox guidelines

glad I am a agnostic then.

Peter the  friend who speaks 18 languages
and is employed by eu  at maastricht

explained to my brothers Cretan friends , who he known for 2 decades
the significance of the rambler song
and its socialist meanings
when you are on the water in souda at dusk
and looking up at those magnificent mountain tops
and listening to McColl sing
well you can imagine the rest

enjoy your moments has you pass and see the memorial stone.

my brother is where he loved and  HE IS FREE

UP  THE REDS

Roger  Murney   toronto

ps  Chris if you could please take some digital pics of stone
our friends were adding  to it recently.

would like to see how it looks thanks.
