Can't believe the start of the season is upon us. Just feels like yesterday that Colin & I were there in October & everything was closing up for the season. Been a quick winter!

Opening on May 1st will be both Alexandros tavernas - the one on the beach and the one in the village. Next week it will be the turn of Skouna and GP Family Supermarket. The new travel shop next door, called Leopard Travel, is already open.

Roda came alive today and it seemed as though all the people who work here in the summer were out on the streets and in good humour. April is a great time in the village as all our friends who are spread thinly across all the bars, shops & restaurants come together after the long winter months in a spirit of optimism and fun. A little seasoning of early visitors added massively to the flavour and there were happy faces everywhere. Nikos & Louise were busy with the finishing touches at Yummies in readiness for their opening tomorrow, work continued on the new frontage at Queens, Leopard Travel was open for business, Afroditi's pool was being filled - slowly - Big Ben was open, Skouna were working hard as usual, Crusoe's had a few customers, including Lisa from Alexandros Taverna, Renna was all but open with her new and exciting travel shop, George Alexakis had opened the doors, Pirates' Bar was positively buzzing and Alexandros in the Village was in the process of pulling down the front canopy to build a new one. Tomorrow should see the opening of El Mar if Kosta's hand heals in time, Five Roses is now open as is the Harbour Bar most of the time. Jon & Michelle's 'Boathouse' should be open tomorrow, Theo already has sunbathers around the pool, Tropicana is busy, Drosia is open as usual, Sunriders is renting out vehicles as is Dromeas, Roda Park is open, Nikos is nearly ready, Sandy is open full time and Lina will open up soon. All in all, the season seems to be upon us a week earlier than I remember previously - it's a great time to be here.

John and I arrive this Friday evening can't wait. We are a week later than last year, everything was coming alive as we left 25th April 2013. Hope the weather is warm during the day and we expect chilly evenings.

Hi Christine, it's very warm at the moment & not too cold at night, threat of a storm over the next 24 hours depending on which forcast you look at, the village is really coming alive now, lots of activity everywhere and lots of places starting to open up, seen quite a few tourist wandering about this morning - our peace is officially shattered!!!! pete.
