2019 Chios - Beach and Music night!

We had a day on the beach at Karfas on Saturday, which is about a 30 minute walk from our accommodation. It was forecast hot with no wind but who trusts the weather! The wind picked up and it was rather cool so although it was hot out of the wind, it was actually rather cool when the wind blew. Lovely people at the Oasis cafe bar rent out free sunbeds if you have a drink or lunch (which we did) and then I stayed at the table with my kindle as it was out of the wind....they even brought me a glass of water.
That night the taverna down the coast (Agyra) was having live greek music so we duly went along. We picked up a stray dog along the way who followed us all the way there and was pathetically grateful for the scraps of meat that I had in my bag that I had intended to give to a little cat that I had found.  You could hear the band half way down the road and it was ear splitting once we got inside. There were lots of big tables of greeks already having a good time and dancing. It was a 5 piece band and every time someone asked for a tune to dance to, they put money down for the band...in the space of an hour we saw at least €100 and they were playing from 5pm - 2am. Now there's a money spinner!  They were very good and it lead to us drinking rather more ouzo than originally intended...surprise, surprise!  Luckily we are intending to have a quiet day on Sunday as our hire car is being delivered.We came out of the taverna to find the dog still sat outside waiting for us! Thankfully she got distracted by someone else and we managed to get home without her,
