MAMARI BEACH/ AND EATING.........AGAIN....!!!



Hubby had the morning off on Sunday, so we headed down to Marmari, a beautiful long sandy beach,  Just a few minutes drive from Tigaki.  Quite a small resort in the fact that there aren't a huge amount of restaurants/snack bars, however, there are quite a number of beautiful hotels, (which sadly most of them have now become All-inclusive).

We had the best saganaki (fried cheese) that literally melted in your mouth at The Artemis Restaurant.

The rest of the week has been a bit of a blur.....sun, sea, sun, pool, sun, sun, sun!.....and eating!

I've spent some time trying to find the perfect handbag, and of course every shop I've been in, I've managed to pick the most expensive one in seconds....and the one I like!  Dashing around the town, doing last minute gift shopping, and waiting hours at the bank.

The Old Town in Kos Town has some wonderful shops, leather goods, handbags, gold and silver, olive oil products, honey, embroidery, tourist bit and bobs, it's fantastic! , Plenty of cafes, /bars too when all that shopping becomes thirsty work!
Obviously not as big at the one in Rhodes, but still well worth a visit!

I must have gone up and down quite a few times this week!  I've finished all my shopping, apart from the handbag......


So after all that 'hard work', back to Tigaki Beach, and a swim with my parents and lunch at The Aphrodite  where we have been going to for years.  Great for parents too, plenty to occupy your wee ones with, colouring, toys, kittens, very child friendly, and great food, and you even have chance to eat it (as the children are quite happy to sit and draw!). The Beach is opposite too, where you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas.


Lovely staff, and many happy times we've had here.

So, my parents will be off soon, but first we are going back to the hospital tomorrow, so my dad can have his stitches removed, he has actually caught a fish (a huge one of course) since his little accident!
