Early rise this morning as my leg is hurting. Weather so far has been lovely, late 20's to mid 30's with a nice breeze. So far it's been very clear but this morning there is a haze and from our terrace and we can't see the mountains of Turkey from across Pedi Bay. I am resting up for a couple of hours and Kim has set off on a walk, we intend to meet up later today at St Nicks.
Last night we dined at Mythos, boy what this good. We have eaten here before on our visit in 2014 and forgotten how good it was. We had a nice table nearest the harbour with great views. Stavros the chef offers a 'let me treat you ' menu which we had last time however, we decided to go solo and choose our own. We started with Aubergine Mille Feullie which is a cold starter with sliced grilled aubergine topped with a mashed aubergine and feta with yogurt, I had a filo pastry parcel stuffed with two types of fish, softened carrots, fennel, flavoured with saffron and a boullabaise sauce, both were divine and we shared both. For main course Kim had the catch of the day, Sea Bass in a Papillote with a tomato and herb sauce baked in the oven, I opted for the grilled sea bream in an olive oil, fennel and caper sauce. Both came with potato dauphinoise and steamed spinach. There were two sea bream fillets to enjoy and the flavours were intense and full of flavour, it was accompanied by a lovely bottle of white wine and as both courses were enough we decided not to have any desserts. During our meal Stavros walked the floor and stopped to ask the diners if all was ok and enjoyable, he also took time to discuss how he put the dishes together which we felt was a good thing to do. Normally head chefs tend to be in a world of their own and this was good to see. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and on leaving we have booked another evening later this week so will post this and we hope it will be as enjoyable. We then set off and bussed it back to Chorio and hopped into bed. My plan this morning is to take a slow walk to Yalios and pick up our return ferry tickets, we have booked a trip to Toli beach with Symi Tours, they emailed back to confirm but it will be based on numbers, if they don't have enough they will advise us tomorrow morning and may have to cancel. I will then have a sit down, beer and catch a taxi boat round to St Nicks and meet up with Kim.
