Fri 4 Aug - Another scorching day in the Ionian, but with the horizon towards Lefkada clearing just a little, we may be in for a breeze change soon. Everyone is hoping for a northerly to pass by the island again, the cooler air that relieves the summer heat each afternoon. Considering the hot temps, Ithaki is still quite green as we look across the valley towards Platrithia (Left). |

Sun 6 Aug - Below - Last night was Sotiros, the Stavros Panighiri. A great first night of this annual 2 Day festival.
