Poros. Our island retreat.
More good days with family
Visitors at work
Danae sells champagne, wine and spirits to the wealthy visitors in the floating palaces moored on the quay opposite. One of those bottles of Vodka will put you back almost 200 euros.
Here she is with Paul and Karen
Instead of drinking a morning Vodka we went across on a water taxi to Galatas for beer and a meze

Authentic Greek Pilsner and a cheese pie
Going across on a water taxi is a Poros experience.
1 euro for a 5 minute cruise. What has the small village of Galatas got to offer? Good coffee and a great view of Poros.
Hoppy and free
Ks no-alcohol choice today. He prefers Alpha but they didn't have any. This Corfu brand is a boutique beer.
The beer was cloudy. He wasn't happy with the Hoppy. Alcohol free maybe but it got a black mark.
The Pilsner though got top marks.
We went across on the Socrates.
It's the only water taxi I'll use.
Because Captain Kyriakos looks after me, helps me step in and out. He'd be in big trouble if he let his m-in-law fall in the sea

Idyllic Greek Scene
200 Euros for a bottle of vodka! I thought Ireland was expensive. The Greek scene is idyllic.
ReplyDeleteIt's a little shop full of expensive bottles, in the perfect place to catch all the rich yachting crowd.
DeleteNot for the peasants 🙄
You sure know how to enjoy life 😎🤩
ReplyDeletecheese pies and beer? It's the little things that count. I don't think I'd ever buy expensive vodka. The vodka that Lidls sells is fine by me.
DeleteI drink it, now and again, with coke zero.
Wonderful!
ReplyDelete😊😊😊 life is good
DeleteBeautiful sunset!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sunset!! Better than Santorini
DeleteBeautiful, good the s-i l looks after you!
ReplyDeleteFortunately I get very well with my son's in law
DeleteI have to say, I prefer the real thing to the 'idyllic scene'. Here in the UK, non-alc beer is the same price as the real thing. I can't understand this as the crazy price of beer is all alcohol tax. Zero-alc should be half the price!
ReplyDeleteNon alcohol beer is about the same price as the other beer here too. Alcohol tax?
DeleteThat cheese pie looks to die for. Fabulous sunset.
ReplyDeleteHe actually said it was the best cheese pie he had eaten. And they tried a few
DeleteA wonderful holiday with your brother and sister-in-law. I am just catching up with your travels.
ReplyDeleteTheir company and the places we visited were wobderful
DeleteLuckily I wasn’t drinking anything when I read teo hundred euros. Our alcohol is very expensive, but this is ridiculous
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you have a lovely son in law. Looking after you
You can buy a bottle of vodka in the supermarket for around 15 euros. That's a big bottle in the photo but not that big!
DeleteI say again as I have said more than once, what a wonderful place you live in.
ReplyDeleteEven better with family from downunder
DeleteI hope you are enjoying your Summer. I also sell alcohol at work but the rules are so strict here. The cheese pie sounds good
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful views...but a shame about the beer.
ReplyDeleteHe was not pleased at all and let the waitress know, as usual. She must be used to, ahem, difficult customers and told that the beer was always like that
DeleteOh my, you make me want to visit!
ReplyDeleteNow is the best time before it gets too darn hot
DeleteYou can buy alcohol in the supermarket here. And just about anywhere
ReplyDeleteI must admit to not liking the Corfu low alcohol beer. Don't think that it travels well either as it's not pasteurised.
ReplyDeleteIt was only that Free beer that was cloudy and now we know why. I'll tell him
