A springday…..

It is really great weather today…. the sun is shining with all her power , it is calm…. only some few clouds at the sky…. and anyhow a very springlike mood…. Sunday, the first visitors come to Sfakia… for a small excursion thus to a nice day…fishermen are sitting in the harbour and are fixing their stuff…a boat comes into the harbour, probably from Loutro….the birds are flying and twitter….you can see butterflies and more and more plants start to blossom…also the cats enjoy lying and resting in the sun….I know, this can change fast again, the winter hasn’t past yet….but just lets enjoy every day which is as nice as today….

 

I have taken just a few photos from both sides of the village…

 

Evening meeting on the sea….

Nearly every evening if it admits the weather you see some people going out with their boats to the sea for fishing squids (kalamaria) …

The best time for the squids is from October to March…. shortly before sundown they came along  on the way to the sea…. they are  fishing with a fishing rod or a certain fishing line… they uses for it a certain artificial squid jigs…. you can see one at the photos …. many have also attached in their boats at the side a small lamp….

Later, on the plate the squids come in the most different variations, one better than other. whether deep-fries, grilled, cooked with rice or potatoes and even with the ink…. whether braised with onions and tomato sauce…. however you will cook it , it is a pleasure!!!

 

The pictures from the fishermen and the sunset are from yesturday…
