IN OUR village, Pano Hersonissos, Crete, taverna owners are keeping their fingers crossed. Weather in the last few days has been uncertain, but, if the Gods are with them this Monday, they hope to have the first of the Music Nights, which is certainly needed to boost incomes.
The start to the season has been a little quiet - not too bad, but it could certainly be better. People are drifting into the hotels and they were being given the information that last Monday there might be the traditional music and dancing - it was a little too uncertain weather wise so it was not staged, but they have high hopes for next Monday.
The weather forecast is looking good. Visitors who have been before will soon notice a colourful change to the square. Almost all of the establishments have taken a great deal of care and time to update their look. One has even had all its tables and chairs hand painted with flowers and birds - a vast improvement from the usual brown/black options
The music nights are very traditional, although it's well planned, the dancers are not on a stage but show their craft around he square, dodging the traffic which makes it way through the square, despite signs advising drivers to take the rout away from the square, tourists accept this but the Greeks have a habit of failing to notice the traffic signs!.
