The Freddie connection

[Sebbee]

Just entering the second week of our fortnight's holiday, and have enjoyed the best weather ever, I reckon. Also just enjoyed our second meal at Vrisi, a newish restaurant up in Myrthios where Freddie - sorry, my mistake, Fredi, according to his football shirt! - everyone's favourite beach boy, spruces up in smart black to become Freddie, waiter extraordinaire, for the evening.  The decor  of this place is less traditional and spartan than, say, Myrthios's Platia, but I love the modern style and colours, and they have the comfiest chairs in town. The menu's nicely traditional but with a few different dishes, too, like baked haloumi, and all really well cooked and plentiful - the pastitsio has gone down particularly well with hubbee. And of course they have wonderful views over Plakias. So if you fancy a pre-dinner stroll up through the olive groves I can highly recommend Vrisi - it's just beside the water feature below the main road through Myrthios, with a choice of two footpaths leading down to it from the road, one to the right of the kafenion, one just beside Platia, or if you're driving up from Plakias there's a road off to the left just before you enter Myrthios. Or you can walk or drive up from Plakias through the olive groves by the youth hostel road.
I have pics which I can't attach when I'm not on my home computer - they'll follow!

Interesting; some of the Myrthios tavernas have wonderful views for those eating before it is dark. It's just a pity that some of us (even though I reckon I'm pretty fit) would regard it as a bit more than a "pre-dinner stroll up through the olive groves". Hopefully he'll get business from those with a car.

it was quite a surprise to see the new restaurant , it is by the newly restored laundry. it does look very good and very modern but the signage is all in greek and unless you have an understanding of the greek alphabet, you wouldn't know it's name!

We are just back from Plakias-and would concur that Vrisi was a great discovery this time-so much so that we ate there 3 times. It was very quiet-but quite delightful and very comfortable and being only marginally more expensive than in town.

We stayed at Paligremnos. We were a bit worried about the new development next door but that didn't detract from the joy of Plakias. When we were there, they were putting in the doors and finishing building the walls so still difficult to say when it will be occupied and whether it will indeed change the nature of the place. The far end seems the same as ever-with both lots of Fredi's blue umbrellas being occupied by the clothes shy brigade.

Plakias-on our fourth visit-remains utterly delightful.

Highly recommended from us, enjoyed 4 great meals/evenings there, of course the service is top as is the whole ambience, decor, view & fantastic food at a very good price. Not expensive at all xx
