Loads of produce vendors, clothing, crowded bakeries, and even more crowded cafes full of people enjoying a glass of rose with a side of sunshine.

Meltemi- Rhodes
If you tire of the upscale just fine, but not great food of NOR Beach House, you can head next door to Meltemi for a more traditional Greek food experience.

Lido Tamerici Spiaggia- Puglia
Towards the end of our time in Puglia, the weather finally seriously started thinking about converting to summer heat.
