Around Town

 .


At this cafe you can sit in the soft comfort of an old armchair.
Come early, there's only one of them.
Was, only one of them.  
I imagine it has been dragged indoors now after our mini monsoon.  Great selling point but not for us.  It's not at a 'K approved' cafeteria. I don't dare to sit somewhere K does not deem worthy of his presence .


Further down outside a fish taverna is a replica of a wooden fishing boat from the next door island of Hydra


And here are fishing nets laid out to dry along the waterfront.
The summer season is coming to an end and these nets will be folded up and covered for the winter.

  1. I would possibly think twice before sitting in that outdoor upholstered armchair. Unless I had some bug repellent with me.

    1. It did look a bit 'overused' and you're right. Heaven knows who sat in it and what's lurking in that upholstering. I don't have to worry. Its off bounds. Was an odd thing to find on the walk

  2. That sky in the background of the nets looks menacing. Not much drying once that arrives overhead.

  3. The armchair would make a great reading chair and a glass of malt Scotch whisky.

    1. On a terrace overlooking the sea....not down on the pavement. Oh and g&t instead of whisky. Good thinking

  4. It sounds like K knows what he likes. Funny how we all have preferences :)

  5. We have a chain of bookstores here that when they first opened several years ago their big draw was that they had many sofas and easy chairs for people to sit and read and have a coffee. It wasn't long before all the nice seating disappeared and were replaced with tables and hard dining room chairs. I spoke to someone I knew that worked there and asked why they had removed all the 'comfort'. She said if you knew what teenage couples did on those sofas and what they had to clean up you'd never sit on them again. OMG, gross!!

    1. Yikes. But when you think about it this armchair is not in your own home. Not so desirable after all

  6. A comfy chair
    A cup of coffee
    And a view of the water.
    Bliss

  7. There used to be a very trendy coffee shop here in Brighton that had old sofas and comfy chairs. Even though everything was VERY scruffy, it was amazingly popular. They were all inside, of course!

    1. There are places with comfy chairs, in Athens but the chairs are covered in leather, probably faux but easily cleaned. I love comfort!

  8. That chair looks wonderfully comfortable to me, great to sit and sip and watch the world go by. Nice boat replica.

  9. Such charming photos! I don't think I'd dare to sit on that chair unless I had on my old jeans, haha.

    1. The weather has improved and I noticed it out there again today. Haven't seen anyone actually sitting in it. Probably at this time of the year its the owner tha sits and waits for customers
