Favourite Drink

[daisyday]

We're retsina fans but our favourite brand is the maramatina (not sure i've spelt it right)! 

We're not keen on the Kourtaki brand sold in the UK - and of course we only associate it with Greece - so nothing nicer than arriving in Arillas and sitting out with a cold bottle between us - preferably at lunchtime at Efi's or what was Seabreeze with a nice meze looking out to sea....

Oh roll on Sept!! 

We also love all the local wine and enjoy a litre of that with our evening meal but nothing beats the retsina association of being in Greece....

LOL.....I love Kourtaki - that's the really rough stuff (also excellent for cleaning toilets!!). I know the one you mean Daisyday - in the little green bottles - a bit too smooth for me. If you go to Night Owl you can buy retsina by the jug and that is really good too.

Has to be Mythos for me.  Closely followed by vodka and coke!!

Sandy, you think Kourtaki is the smooth stuff!!!  We don't find it resinous enough, but perhaps that's just the imported supply we get in the UK - I know they sell Kourtaki in the small bottles in Arillas too and that seems to be completely different.

The Owl isn't actually in Arillas though is it?  Unless we do a trip we don't normally get out of Arillas as husband wasn't keen on driving the first time we visited - found it very harrowing up the windy roads!!! 

Every time we ask for retsina we always get a look of "they must have just arrived and can't know what they're asking for" type look but we truly like it!!!

Yammas Sandy!

Ouzo & sprite lots of ice.

[Truth]

You only have the Sprite for the BUBBLES Pete , I know !  he he
I used to have it the same but I take it just with ice these days........

[Val n Bill]

That's the way we drink it, if there's no ice a drop of water will do.

My favourite drink is ouzo with water and ice and my second favourite is icy cold white wine

Has to be a Mojito made by Spiro in the Akti, then sitting at the bar to drink it, with Spiros warmth and humour to help it go down.  Its when he gets the shot glasses out we know its going to be a long night

Our favourite drink is OUZO and lemon fanta hence my forum name after many holidays to Kefelonia at the same studios I was always greeted as ouzoman the family did not often call me by my name.Maybe after this third time to Mathraki they to will call me ouzoman, Roll on June 17th.

Well my Arillas wouldn't be Arillas without my Coconut Pina Colada (although I have to say the Horizon's and Ammos take some beating. I know I know naff choice or what! BUT, my absolute fave has to be some ice cold white wine sipped on my Marinaki swing as the early evening approaches...this is the thought that has kept me going all these months!!

[harold]

Cannot beat a nice cup of tea,but if its to be acholic then the Ionian beer,or a cocktail while sat on the front watching the waves lap the shore line
