Since the beginning of March I notice distinct signs that Kouklia, its tavernas and it's inhabitants are emerging and stretching, in preparation for the summer to come. Just around the corner now are the uninterupted long summer days and balmy evenings, accompanied by the many return visiting friends and tourists who we hope to share the village with in the months to come.
Already the sunny warm days are increasing, and once again people are ' sitting out' in the square, enjoying the sight of Kouklia life passing by. We have contacts now from previous guests, eager in their anticipation with dates now booked for their stay here. Taverna owners are finishing off repairs and maintenance to buildings, and tables are again resplendent in their bright checked cloths.
**A note here please for the village cats, some of whom I gather have been poisoned in the past few weeks - please residents - remember that the cats are a welcome feature in the village, and they keep rats at bay - also there are more humane ways to deal with the problem, This year I intend ( together with friends) to get as many as possible down to Papheakos for free ntuering - which will control breeding.
So we all look forward to a happy and busy summere here in Kouklia, and hope that it is a successful season for all the tavernas, bars and coffee shops.
