Spoke to my friend Thanasis from the Central Cafe this morning - people from the village came together early today to meet in the square to work together to clean up the last of the ash and dust from the fire from streets and buildings - some painting is also being undertaken to rectify smoke damage. He reports the village as getting back to normality with most businesss back in operation, obviously the scenery on the opposite side of main road is devastated but he hopes tourists continue to support the area and enjoy the beaches and hospitality in Hanioti.
These villages rely on tourism and he reports everyone working flat out to make the village of Hanioti a great place to holiday.
