We're getting there, OK it is a washroom, and just to blow all those thoughts away, it's not in Plakias!

I thought this would be easy peasy  , here's a bit more:

No!  

It's not hidden away anywhere, so I'm not being devious, that's why I thought it might be easy  .

No!  

Not in Plakias, I had a feeling the parasol would fool you, it's not even on a beach.

You're grabbing at straws here guys.  

I don't think anyone actually knows where this is except P&D.

OK another clue 'Sacred Spirit'. (nothing to do with RAKI)

If it isn't on the beach, is it by a lake?

This isn't anywhere I've been, but I've done some detective work. It's the Empire Cafe at Lake Kournas. If you look at the board without logging in, you don't see the pictures but see the names of them: empire_cafe_1.jpg etc. I saw this a few days ago, but didn't think there would be an Empire Cafe on Crete so you had given them bogus names. However, if you search the net for Empire Cafe and Crete you get to Lake Kournas, and one of the entries is your previous post as follows, which mentions 'Sacred Spirit':
     
Lake Kournas
Northwest of Plakias, it’s easy to get to although there is one village that you have to go back on yourself and the turning is easily missed, so stay alert!
Drive through Kournas village and almost immediately you are on the road that surrounds the Lake. There is a bar called the Empire Café. Stop, have lunch and take in the atmosphere, it’s eerie. The bar is built on the side of the mountain so you get an unobstructed view all round the lake. There are eagles playing on the updrafts and the owner is into American Red Indians so tends to play ‘Sacred Spirit’ a lot, which adds to the atmosphere. There is a myth/local rumour that the lake has a monster (nessie II?) so I would not recommend the paddleboats that you can hire at the bottom of the hill.

Spot on and well done with the research Greecemad, I think I wrote that around 2002/3.

As I said it's a great place, not exactly Cretan, but it does have a fabulous view over the lake, and to find it appearing after Kounos village is quite spectacular.

You can all sleep well tonight, thanks to Greecemad...
