Above Left and Right - Mike and Sofia are back again this Summer visiting friends in Stavros. They come to the island from Belgium where they both work and live. They enjoy the relaxed times on the island, going out on a boat, days at the beach and long nights involved in interesting conversation with their friends. While northern Europe enjoys southern European weather, and many think it pointless to go elsewhere, there are still some things that you can only get in the south and that's Summer Greek style. |

Above - L - R - Angela, Andrew, Areti and Andreas Livanis. This foursome have their roots in Perahori, but all except Andreas, who lives in Patras, live in New York. Andrew had his trust in humanity restored yesterday after the backpack he lost with a heap of money, credit cards and identity documents was found returned to him by the Finder, Jerome from Exoghi. See, goodwill can still be found in the tiny corners of the world. |

Sat 19 Aug - Above - Pano and Mary Lecatsas are in Lahos from Melbourne to meet up with son Spiros, daughter in-law Ana and grand children Tyler and Sophia below, who are holidaying on Ithaca from Manhattan NY where they live. When the family lives so far apart, it's good to get together in a place where there are no distractions other than enjoying the atmosphere, the views and eachothers' company. Pano left Lahos when he was 13 to emigrate to South Africa, before moving to Australia in the late 70's. |

Wed 23 Aug - Left - Stella and Phillip Morris, with 2 teenage daughters and a young son in hand, are here from the UK, despite the Tapestry liquidation and cancellation. This family have become very attached to the island since their first holiday here and now just can't stay away. This couple is the first I have personally met, that have also holidayed in Iceland, after Stella bought her husband a 'northern lights' Christmas present. Good thing about Ithaca, we have lights north and south...when the electricity is on that is. Stella and Phillip plan to visit Ithaca at least once a year from now on. |
