Thurs 9th May
In the foothills of the Psiloritis Mountains is a village called Kato Asites and above this is really fabulous holiday accommodation and restaurant, the venue for what was probably the last Explore Crete dinner (the forum on Explore Crete is closed). Click here for their website – it explains it better than I can - http://www.earino.gr/en/
Our accommodation was over two floors with a garden and balcony and is so well equipped that a longer stay would better do it justice – there was even a washing machine in the bathroom next to the bath tub.
The restaurant is a favourite of Ros who lives locally and kindly arranged the meet up. A wonderful meal was enjoyed by all especially the carnivores who feasted on hunks of roast lamb.
The next morning we took a walk around the area and only 0.5 km away was the beautiful monastery dedicated to Saint George. It is a tranquil setting and we only saw one monk busy tending animals.
Apart from this a group of children played near the spring and were delighted to teach me to say Agios Georgious – they were highly amused at my inability to produced the required guttural sound.
Our walk was in sunshine and the threatened downpour did not catch us.

The black sky on the photo below shows the white building off so well..........
