I was able to catch sunset from out hotel window. Not too shabby. After sunset, we went to find dinner. We ended up at an informal place by the water. I had some gyros and a glass of ouzo. When we were finished, the waiter brought out glasses of raki for us to try. It's a very strong drink . . . on par with what I bought in a plastic water bottle from a Vietnamese man last year. We were served a similar drink (for free) at lunch that was called Rakomelo and had honey in it.
Ah, but for dinner, it didn't end after the Raki. Then the waiter came out with fresh fruit, and then . . . Greek donuts and ice cream!
This spread was entirely free of charge. This has to be some sort of Greek cultural thing. I've received an absurd amount of free food and drink here. At first I thought it was my charm and good looks, but I'm beginning to think its just the Greek way of doing business. Well, no wonder the country's broke.
