Lackis Restaurant,Spartahori.

[Appleyard]

We spent a few weeks recently in the Ionian,and one evening ate at Lachi's (Someone please correct my spelling) Restaurant at the top of the hill in Spartahori. Apart from a moussaka to die for, the highlight of the evening was when his Mother(or it could have been his Granny) who must be at least 80,balanced a table on her head and danced around the floor.This was after she had done the cooking. It was an amazing performance,especially as she then challenged all comers to have a go. Everyone failed dismally. As a cabaret it was unmissable. Does anyone know of any other floorshows like this? I am thinking of Spiro and Jimmy at Port Atheni,but there must be others.

Wot the he** is a sirtaki ??

 

[lille_bee]

"wot is a sirtaki?"!!?!
here are some clues:
it's a bit tricky to do it on the deck of a yacht, you do it with other people, and it's a lot easier after a few retsinas...

I avoid restaurants with floor shows as tourist traps.
Generally speaking in Greece it's better to order food that's
cooked immediately before you eat it such as fish or kebab.
I think living on a boat makes you unduly appreciative of
indifferent food on shore, and prices are rising faster than quality!

That's as may be. But I can honestly say I've had better meals on my boat than I've had in many resturants!
On the other hand... this is probably due to having a SWMBO who's a fantastic cook. What she manages to knock up on two rings and an oven (sans grill) is quite amazing.
But then... having a GOOD big galley was one of the criteria for selecting the boat I have.

I may know what a sirtaki is, but please enlighten me as to what a "SWMBO" is...?

She Who Must Be Obeyed

Ok Brendan..
Whilst on the subject of anacronyms... what's 'olewill' mean?
I see it at the end of posts quite often. <thinks> Or could it be the signature of the sender, perhaps?

 

[BrendanS]

It's the signature of William_H

 

[cliffb]

LOL... thanks Brendan. I'm being typically thick!!!

A flot skipper from Sailing Holidays did that last August & won a big bottle of Metaxa. I wasn't there but everybody said he was better than the Madam. Perhaps he had a skinfull beforehand.

Cheers.

See you all next year.
