Vonitsa is a typical working agricultural village/town unspoiled by tourists. On Tuesday there is a market in a field at the edge of town. Here you can jostle with the locals buying fruit and veg, honey, fish, and household goods. This is the real Greece.
Overlooking the harbour breakwater is the small, family run Remezzo Restaurant, with tables outside and a hand painted sign on the front that says, "Vonitsa Yacht Club - Breakfast - Shower". The Remezzo is not really a Yacht Club - its a restaurant. The idea of calling the restaurant a "yacht club" is the Remezzo owner's way of making his restaurant frendlly and attractive to the few boats that call into Vonitsa's little harbour.
The most attractive bit of the yacht club's sign is the word, "SHOWER"!
Having been on the move at sea for days and eking the water rations by bathing with a cup full of water, who could resist the appeal of standing under a hot shower!
Buy a glass of wine, or a cup of coffee and a shower is yours for free. Great! Next question, "Where is your shower?"
"Ah, just there next to the kitchen!"
"and hey, it's nice inside...swinging doors...just like the Last Chance Saloon...and no lock!"
Ok, so you go in, strip off and enjoy your shower. You hear people talking and eating very close by... it is not until you come out of the shower that you get the full impact. You are buck naked having a shower right in the middle of the restaurant!
Great shower, just make sure you don't slip on a bar of soap, back out through the swing doors and spoil someone's meal by landing on their table!
