Above - Platrithia. Green Ithaki. It's hard to believe that only a week ago the island was brimming with people. Now there are more goats. |

Wed 6 Sep - The island may be a little quieter now, but with weather heating up again, Summer is far from over. Click here for a day on Ithaki. |

Fri 8 Sep - Above - The Arsenis family, son Yianni with parents Spyros and Desi. Yianni has big plans for the Spyros Arsenis website with live music performances soon to be available from their site. With recent finds at Homers School, it may also be worth looking at their comprehensive Archeological pages. Spyros is president of the Homeric Society of Ithaca and is sure to be privy to the finds long before the rest of us.

Above - Vathy. Although the northern villages have quietened down, Ithakis Capital Vathy, still has spurts of great activity. Dysseas Cafenion, one of the favourite local hangouts, is busy all through the year, catering for the morning coffees, card games and a place to sit when the sun comes out, even in winter. |
