Sat 2 Sep - It's been a little while since Scotty, Andrew Scott (Greek - Sikiotis) has been to Ithaca where he stays at his family home in Stavros. He was one of the icons of the wild early 90's when |

Petes' Bar was the hangout and long days at Polis Beach were the agenda day in and day out. The XL Trail Bike (right) has been blazing the roads of Ithaca for 20 years, and apart from a few minor repairs, has been Scottys' reliable form of transport here. The bike once carried a record 7 people at one time. |

Mon 11 Sep - Left - This guy should have been here in August. Now consumers are thin on the ground, too thin even to be tempted by the cheap prices of the many useless toys this street salesman was lugging around in flower baskets. He looked like he needed a break, but that didn't urge on the locals in Frikes. |
