Greece opening May 10...

Greek Orthodox Easter was the past weekend. (Western Easter and Greek Orthodox Easter differ in many ways, but the dates of observation are the most apparent variation. The main reason for this difference is that Western Easter uses the calendar introduced by Pope Gregory in 1582 to determine the date of the celebration of Christ's resurrection. In contrast, the Greek Orthodox follow the older Julian calendar, which dates back to the era of the Roman Empire).

Yesterday was my weekly cleaning, not taking the train, walking along the beach day.
The Achaia Beach Hotel (5 minute walk from my house) is the big building on the left.

Workers setting up beach chairs and parasols in front of the Kastelo beach bar
Going back I saw at three houses people barbecue lamb on a spit in their gardens. More flowers!
