Double Vision?
The jury is still out about our cover photo. One of the members of the editorial team thought it was ‘arty and surreal’, the other one said it was ‘just blurred’. We’ll let you decide! So what’s the photo of? Well it’s a picture of migrating birds who use Rethymnon as a stop-off point on their journey South. This year they have arrived several weeks early, and no-one is quite sure why (don’t mention the volcano)! July was an absolutely fantastic month here, albeit a tad tiring. So much going on in terms of entertainment, we were out pretty much every night. And then of course there was the summer social life to contend with. Heaps of fun, with new friends and old yet again! Is it going to be quieter in August? We’ll let you know….
August Highlights
On our Spotlight page we focus on some of the more entertaining Minoan inventions. We also bring you a review of the Renaissance Festival and details of some of the cultural events planned here for August. There is a great Belgian recipe, and some useful tips on how to stay cool and calm. All this plus news and views from around town and much, much more!
About ‘The Bugle’
The Rethymnon Coffee Morning Bugle is an independent, monthly FREE publication that was started in January 2007
(how time flies). The Bugle is an English language publication that is geared not only towards the Greek and international community living and working in Rethymnon, but also to anybody who likes our town (or would like to know our town) and loves Crete. The aim of the Bugle is to be both informative and light hearted.
We welcome feedback and written / photographic contributions from readers. We particularly welcome feature articles that have a Rethymnon slant; if you are considering submitting an article we would ask that you keep to an upper word limit of 500 words.
You will find our contact details and a listing of hard copy distribution outlets at the bottom of our This Month Page.
We hope you enjoy reading our August issue!
