Last Day and Momentous Meze - 18th August

I had a really bad night last night. The aircon wasn't working properly and just kept flashing. At 2a.m. we gave in and opened the shutter – a bad move in mosquito country – but it was so hot it had to be done.

We had made no plans for today as we have to load the car at a leisurely pace (due to the heat) and buy bread for the journey tomorrow.

Our planned last meal here was to be a kebab followed by ice-cream from the ice-cream parlour we discovered earlier in the week. By the time it got to tea time, I really didn't fancy another kebab. Fortunately, Chris took little persuading and suggested a reasonably priced restaurant he had spotted earlier. The Odysseus looked inviting and had a lovely varied menu. Chris noticed that they had a meze on the menu but, due to our huge disappointment with the meze at George's restaurant we were a bit wary.

We asked the waitress what was included and she reeled off a load of nice sounding dishes so we decided to give it a go. It was gorgeous food, and so much of it. We had;

Greek salad
Tzatziki
Hummus
Bread
Roasted feta with onions and peppers
Calamari
Pork and sausages in a rich tomato sauce
Beef Stifado
Meatballs
Dolmades
Lamb chops
Pork chops
Swordfish steak (absolutely huge)
Halvas
Coffee and tea

We will leave Corfu with our view of their culinary delights reinstated.

Needless to say Chris and I were unable to partake of the ice cream but the children enjoyed theirs!

The owner of the property came in to try and sort out the aircon before bed. They are a really nice couple and even bought us some local marmalade to take home.
