Carnival Time |

After weeks of rehearsal and planning, Ithacans finally get to show off their dance steps and colourful outfits. The pressure is on, the Square is full… Don't drop that ball. Lots of music, lots of laughs, lots of men in drag with big bosoms and the usual 'fart' joke over the PA system. |

Ferries in and out of Ithaca were full this weekend with relatives, ex-pats and many tourists coming for the big Carnival in Vathy. The long Winter made this warm day a real fun event with lots of Kefi (good cheer) from everyone |

With the continuing baby boom on the island, there is no shortage of very cute, short people with funny hats and toothless smiles joined to happy parents who are finally able to get out and about after weeks locked inside by the constant downpours. |
