George Rodinos - one of my all-time favourite barmen, and someone to whom I still owe a huge debt of gratitude - had told me he was planning to open his own place shortly after I left Crete; a bar he was going to call 'The Blue Parrot'. I think it was going to be on the north coast of the island, somewhere a little to the east of Rethymnon.
Alas, I soon lost touch with the incomparable George, and have never had the opportunity to return to Crete. I would be very interested to know if 'The Blue Parrot' ever came into being, and it if yet thrives. I imagine it would have been a very good hangout indeed.
