What's New On Ithaca Greece
July 2024
Monday 1st - Happy first of the month! We're now in the heart of the season, and Ithaca is buzzing with visitors. Greece remains a top summer destination, and this year is no exception. With unseasonably hot weather, the beaches are the go-to spot for most. Meanwhile, shepherds, even on their mopeds, continue tending to their herds.
Wednesday 3rd - Alot of wind forecast for today. If it's cool it will give some respite to the very hot days we've been having. Below - A different view of Frikes.

Friday 5th - While the rest of Greece is suffering under pouring rain, Ithaca's own micro climate continues with warm weather and mostly blue skies.
Monday 8th - Summer continues.
Thursday 11th - It's hot hot hot. 40C yesterday and threatening to continue. Get to the water.
Monday 15th - Greece is in the midst of a heatwave, and even here on Ithaca, afternoons are all about taking it slow with siestas and beach time. The midday heat leaves the villages looking empty. As the sun goes down, evenings by the bayside are simply magical, with a chance to feel the cool sea breeze.

Summer on Ithaca Greece
Monday 1st
The beach is the best place to be on a hot day. Cool sea breezes, temperate water. Just perfect.
Wednesday 3rd - Below Bakarello taking it easy now that his restaurant in Stavros has closed it's doors.
Friday 5th - Below - Day Trippers coming off the island hopping boats.

Monday 8th - There's no Monday-itis on Ithaca during Summer.
Thursday 11th - There's no place better to be than in the sea, but sometimes we can get a little cooler up on the mountain too.
Monday 15th - Apparently budgets in Greece for works that need doing are given out in Summertime. The roadworks from Frikes to Kioni are causing some disruption which should have been expected considering works are being done at the busiest time of the year. Maybe this would be a good time to suggest tour buses use mini buses instead of the giants that bulge their way along Ithaca's narrow roads.
