I have been checking out a Malia forum regularly since this lad went missing and he still hasnt been found. The case was on a Greek Tv program that specialises in finding missing persons but any calls they received proved to be fruitless.

I feel it for the family especially with Christmas coming up.

Try their website - www.palazzorimondi.com. This should give you any info you need.

Wow Yiannis, great news and congratulations! I always look forward to each new edition of the Gazette.

Good Luck with your new venture.

Where are you 'hearing' this and what do you mean by a pub. In Rethymno we dont really have pubs (unless you count the Irish pub) there are mostly cafes and clubs and as far as I know what I said above is the average price for a beer/drink in a cafe.

In tavernas, you can pay as low as 1.50 for a big beer because these places serve food. Some tavernas will have special menus for two people - Greek Salad, 2 Main dishes and house wine for as little as 15 euro.

Rethymno, like many other areas of Crete since the introduction of the euro, has become more expensive not only to visit as a tourist but to live here as well. A large beer in a bar/restaurant will cost from 3 to 4 euro. I have never paid 7 euro for a beer and the only place that I can think of that would get away with charging that amount is a nightclub or bouzouki bar with live music.

Aaron - I dont know what website has those remarks but Rethymno has a lovely Old Town with restaurants, bars, cafes, meze shops(restaurants serving lots of small dishes) and shops with traditional produce. Personally I find it very Greek.
