As soon as the season ends, all notion of Roda's seafront road being 'one-way' ceases - the gloves are off, and tenacious drivers impose themselves upon the more timid. If the road is blocked, you simply drive along the beach!
Three days into the new season, when everything returns to normal, we are driving along in front of Nostos Travel - in the right direction - when this butterscotch, little whimp of a car come hurtling towards us from OPA Taverna - George!! - breaking all the rules as usual!! I nudge Julie and say "shout at him in Greek" - she waves her arm out of the window and hollers "monodromos einai tora!" - it's one-way now! Totally unconcerned and quite expressionless, he simply replies "This is Greece", shrugs his shoulders, screeches his tyres and carries on with his journey.
Welcome to Roda ..

I can just imagine the scene with George giving his usual shrug of the shoulders! Cannot wait for 15th June!
Regards, Kath.

It was the same when we lived in Spain,the only way not to get stressed out with the Spanish way of driving..............was to drive the Spanish way myself

I've just realised - I am now an addict - is there any hope for me ? Do I need to seek rehab?
regards, Kath.

Fear not Kathwebber your addiction can be treated not cured, go seek out a SIGN along this road and look for a place were a GOAT drinks from a bottle, Go inside... it`s not a bad dream you will be having but in reality a place of refuge to have great food and sample a glass or three of your favorite tipple while enjoying the views and feeling refreshed. thats our special place to take rehab, yes there is hope and i`m sure it will work for every Roda addict.

When we asked for suggestions last year for a pub name to suit this sign, the best suggestion was 'OUZASILLYBILLY'. ;D

Thank you so much for the caring advice regarding my addiction - I will definitely be going to OPA this year - purely for medicinal purposes you understand!
Regards, Kath.
