Thanks for this informative post it confirms our use of the reverse osmosis system...

The reverse osmosis system we have eliminates limescale in our kettle it has been free from the deadly scale that causes stones since we had it fitted, most vitamins and minerals are present in most of our foods so I personally don`t think that we are missing out in that regard.

our system is from creta aqua tel 6973296800 6976583446 http://www.creta-aqua.eu, the best for pure water, it is a reverse osmosis system, the firm from Rethimno comes once a year to change the filters for around about 70 euros, it fits under the sink...

AS regards eating out in our area we use Edem in season on the harbour front at Kolimbari, Kaneva in Tavronitis, In Gerani Arxontiko better known to us as Georges, all good food and affordable prices, maybe it is just our area but we still see a good number of Greeks eating out, maybe because they a...

Whatever part of Crete you choose to live in, be prepared for the rainy season, I just hope Daisy that your beautiful garden survived the torrential rain of yesterday, our lane became a raging river carrying all before it, 3 years ago the same type of rainstorm took the end of our cul-de-sac we lost...
