Usual Greek coffee at Harry's. There's always a little something complimentary with the coffee. Sometimes nondescript packaged biscuits but sometimes much nicer. Today's offering is three slices (one each) of an apparently home baked loaf of bread with large pieces of halloumi cheese incorporated. Very nice.
Finally book a studio for the Malta stay. With some misgivings as the reviews aren't very good, though the price is. Problem is that you have to go to much more expensive places to get good reviews and even they seem mostly to charge for wifi even in public areas. (One even has the cheek to say there is a surcharge for dial up!). Also some of the usual difficulty in decoding reviews. One person's "filthy and disgusting" is another's "cleaners a bit casual". Best with specifics: "one fork, three spoons, a dirty frying pan and no plates" would be quite clear, where "inadequate kitchen" isn't. Often the specifics are quite comforting, as in clean towels only twice a week, which is pretty common for self-catering studios, and better than some. There is definitely a choice to be made. We like central and so do the football teams, stag parties, etc, largely because of the proximity of bars and casinos. So the north of the island would be quieter, but we're pretty sound sleepers.
