That is definitively my kind of New Year Resolution. Both positive, pleasurable and unboastable (Oops, I might have invented a new english word here).

I would certainly encourage everyone to give Kastro a try. This has turned out to be one of our firm favourites: I think we went three times last year, which is a bit of a recommendation in itself with all the other options available.

The food is great, freindly staff, and a good view down into the bay.

I agree John. We've only eaten there once and it certainly wasn't the cheapest but the food was very good. That plus the view of the bay meant that we would definitely say it is worth trying.

Welcome back John!
So where is the Kastro, it doesn't ring any bells with me?

It's behind and above the town. If you walk up the road past the Apollon, take the track towards Mirthios, just over the stream you come to a junction. Kastro is signposted from there if I remember rightly.

There are such good reviews about Medousa that I'm sorry we didn't get there last year, an omission we'll correct this year. It will be interesting to see if Mousses can maintain their high standards, although in my experience standards can radically alter (up or down) from year to year.

Re. the posts about Ali and Dave, is their place located in the road going inland from the Souvlaki House (The Hut) just past Ariadne?

Don't worry Leen, as long as we understand, it's english right? Let the Brits remind us of their old words while we make up new ones.

Spelt 'unpainful' - no problem. One of the beauties of English is that many odd looking words are 'real' if you search hard enough

I noticed floccinaucinihilipilification of this topic.  
Suggest to pick up the correct topic again.  
Do anybody knows where they serve blobsterdis in Plakias or near Plakias?

sadly, we Brits nowadays make up a minority of speakers of International World English so we're not really entitled to take umbrage at solecisms.  Of course, that won't stop us...

Reading your comment is illustrious solace to me.   We foreigners need correction. Observe, even whilst I invented "unpainful" I did not manage to spell it correctly.    

Trying another one : transeuro sublevelaeroator  =  someone flying tourist class to Crete.

I think English needs more complex words. Here is a Norwegian example: "problemstillingssporsmal"
So much easier than writing: "Thesis statement formed as a question".

I do not agree:  

floccinaucinihilipilification  

is more the enough to me.

This tread might have been born with multiple personalities...
 Since you are it's meritorious father, you will have to decide if it needs to be sent to psychiatric care or maybe on an indefinite holyday at the far end, where it can take turns in laying in the shade of itself while discussing the easiest ambulation method between the far end and Kastro Taverna.  

Bay the way, did you want to talk about Tavernas?

Yes, that is what a page looks like after eight hours of strenuoues reading. An etymologist should not be entomophobic.

Likewise Chris it was good meeting you and Mandy.Never seen Babas so relaxed going around with the raki bottle in his hand.As he said he will be turbo Babas in September.

Not forgetting that lovely walnut cake at the Kastro.
