im picturing myself on a sunbed right now looking inbetween the rows of beds at the back the lady looks like lola, a wonderful woman who takes the money for the beds in the middle of the beach at this end, i'll just tell you a little tale, me and my friend was sunbathing one afternoon and i went to the shop for a soft drink, i got one for lola and when i gave it to her you would have thought i had bought her a diamond necklace she was so appreciative, within minutes lola was back with a huge pizza-chips and 2 massive bottles of beer. what do you say to that

Hi Paul, I'm afraid that you tapped into the famous Greek hospitality. Whatever you do, you can never get ahead - you make a gesture, and the recipient returns it ten-fold. We have been trying for the last eight years with the wonderful family at Eftichia's Apartments - we love cooking, and we do our best to make & send little treats to Eftichia & her sister Eli, but whenever we do, they swamp us with treats beyond your imagination. We now take it in our stride - we do our best to surprise them with something slightly different and there are things that they grow themselves that we treat quite 'strangely'. We have even been asked for seeds for a couple of things that they are less familiar with and would like to try out. For Corfiots, it is a matter of pride for them to accept your gesture and return it in abundance. Do not try to win - just enjoy the spirit in which it is given.
Steve
