Thekabendavgousto if you prefer. Today is a major religious festival, all Cyprus hits the beaches in an orgy of bank-holiday enthusiasm and Summer reaches its peak.
From here onwards, the slow descent into autumn begins and we can start thinking of cooler days and maybe even somewhere to park when you go for a coffee.
I’m not anti-tourist, or even anti day-tripper if they behave themselves, but the frenzy of seaside activity just isn’t my bag. So I hope everyone else has a blast and no-one gets sunburned but I’d be obliged if someone gave me a shout when the bulk of them push off home.
If you need us in the meanwhile – we’ll be right here.
