The golden sand, the flashes of bougainvillea
and the clear sea as warm as the welcome - few places say "summer"
better than Greece.
And at the Kahlua beach bar on the eastern shores of Crete,
the holiday season is in full swing. The chill-out music is playing, the
sunbeds are full and Kahlua is now attached to a new hotel - all 40
rooms have been booked for the entire summer.
It's a pattern seen across Greece. Tourists are set to be up
by 20% on last year and have almost doubled since 2010 when the
financial crisis hit. Back then, worries about social unrest here and
"Grexit" - Greece's possible departure from the eurozone - kept the
holidaymakers away. But it's returning confidence that Greece may
finally have turned a corner that has brought them back..
