Just left Naxos and loved the donut guy who walks along the beach selling delicious donuts. Does anyone know anything about him? The only thing I could find is that he’s been doing this for 20+ years.

Oh no I just had a flash back to when I was a rep in Rethymnon many years ago. The donut man walked down the beach selling them on a tray. I then watched him put the tray on a sun bed, walk knee high into the sea, relieve himself (not wash his hands!!!) then carried on selling the donuts 😂

For me this is an “Absolutele No No”. Never buy from beach vendors! No matter where in the world. Chinese masseuse on Ag Anna & Ag Prokopios beach the same - they splash their hands in the sea after each client and dry them on their clothing.

Anyway, if you mean loukoumades, you can buy them in a bakery and bring them to the beach with you.

@Engineer-thanks, that was just the type of crazy story I am not surprised.
