There's less than 4 weeks until our summer holidays...we're heading back to Crete and Im already dreaming of a pint of cold Mythos, some lovely crisp Calamari, stuffed vine leaves and fried Octopus, yum, yum!! We went to Crete a few years ago and stayed just outside Agios Niklaos. We made many a trip around the coast to Plaka, a small fishing village with a beautiful little pebbled cove and great view of Spinalonga Island (the former leper colony made famous by Victoria Hislops book 'The Island') There are only 2 tavernas in Plaka both serving the most amazing fresh fish....and on the street outside, the local fishermen hang their fresh octopus on washing lines to dry. The term octopus is from Greek ὀκτάπους (oktapous) meaning "eight-footed" :)
