Left - Mr. Delaportas jnr. visits the villages and gets his fill of one of his favourite snacks, spinach pie, at Margarita Cafe. Looks like he's working out at the Vathy Gym to get the body ready for a hectic season. |
Right - Leigh Ann and 4 month old baby daughter, Ioanna pull out the shades on a sunny day in Stavros. These two bright sparks, light up the sleepy northern village. |

It's been awhile since washing was assured to dry outside, but yesterday, there was no doubt. Ladies and gentlmen, 'The damp' has left the building. |

The best fruit on the island right now is undoubtedly the Strawberry. Luscious, delicious, sweet, red and aromatic. Everyone is licking their lips for this sweet temptation. |

Wed 17 May - Things are hotting up. People in the streets, school excursions from Ceph, flotillas in all the harbours, walkers, eaters, swimmers, drinkers (quite a few), warm sunshine and blue skies and tourists looking for a Greek paradise all over the place... still there's a quiet corner completely void of human activity in the back streets of Vathy. |

Oh to be able to sit around, eat, drink and take in the views. What a way to holiday. That's what some lucky visitors to the island seem to be enjoying about Ithaki. Frikes is realy coming in to its' own with many visitors choosing this village to be the most 'Real Greek' village by the sea. |
