Its outside so smoking allowed and no masks in sight, although come to think of it the serving girls weren't wearing them either. They should have been. Only just realised that. Naughty naughty
It does indeed look calm and peaceful - is that in the main town? Warm twilight time is still an unusual thing for me - at home sunset used to mean get the sweaters out, even if it had been a fairly hot day.
The main town was swamped with weekenders. This is a new cafe out towards Neorion, looking back to the town and across to Galatas. There was a refreshing breeze. You definitely didn't need a jacket!

ReplyDeleteYour island life isn't half bad either! All you need is a littleore sunshine. But not the heat
DeleteOh yes. Some sunshine would be good 😁
DeleteLooks so calm and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteIt was peaceful. An empty cafe by the sea, watching the town light up!
DeleteI'll have a dry white wine please! I could do with sitting by the sea on a sunny evening with a nice chilled drink, calmly watching the world go by :)
ReplyDeleteA white wine coming up, with lots of ice. Big glasses here too!
DeleteThat looks lovely.
ReplyDeletePeaceful on after a very hot day. There was a nice cool breeze
DeleteI'm a non-smoker, but I find it quite reassuring to see an ashtray on the table. It all looks so beautiful.
