Where to eat...or not! / Update To Kyma (April 2026)

« Last post by kokkinos vrachos on April 02, 2026, 11:15:56 AM »

Kalimera Davos, I walked past the Kyma yesterday afternoon. A new extension has been built in front of the old rear section of the building. Work was still underway on the roof structure for the terrace.

It looks as though it will be a while yet before it opens... My guess is that it won?t be ready in time for Orthodox Easter/Greek Easter.

Best regards from Plakias, kv

Kalimera Barny, the prices seem a bit too cheap to me.  In the non-nudist area at Paligremnos Beach, the price charged by the various providers last year was ?10.

Kalimera, this year, too, there is a daily visitor limit of 1,000 people at the Kourtaliotiko Gorge. I still think that?s far too many.

According to local authorities, the model has helped reduce pressure on the landscape while allowing visitors to enjoy the area under more controlled and sustainable conditions.

Since Monday, 16 February, the Kourtaliotiko Gorge has been closed to traffic again due to construction work.

According to the district government, the gorge is to be reopened to traffic in May for the tourist season.

Construction work is then scheduled to resume at the end of October.
