When we first started to visit Skala in 1992 we stayed in the Aliki hotel Everyday the shepherd would come by with his sheep and take them down to the Beach at Mounda. He was a lovely chap and in spite of only having one arm he managed to get them all down safely and at the same time train a very young Greek sheep dog to round them all up .A fabulous little dog quite a distinctive breed, that over the years we watched grow and become so proficient .It will always be one of our treasured memories of our time over there and I often wonder if the shepherd is still around.?" The reason why I mention that he had only one arm as it obviously made him more recognisable .He was a great chap and would always stop to have a bit of a natter when we were walking down the track, as it was in those days.
