Tue 4 July - Fimios Ithakis first initiated the Ithaca Poster competition 5 years ago to help put Ithaca on the map and to give up and coming Graphic Artists a medium to show off their talents. Young Graphic Artists from all over the world, from as far as China, have entered this annual competition. Each year a Theme dictates the entries and a Jury of respected art critics and people in the advertising media, choose the winning Poster Art. This years' theme was Past Present and Future and Greek Graphic Artist Dimitra Tzanou took out 1st prize. |

Sat 8 July - Above - Beyond Kioni. The days are heating up again now after a few cooler temps. Afternoon breezes freshen up the atmosphere and make for more comfortable nights. |

Sun 9 July - Yesterday freak storms hit the Ionian and rained heavily on everyones' parade. Kioni was without water and a power failure left half the island without electricity until today. It seemed that the bad weather had passed, when late in the afternoon, the skies opened up again to dump more heavy rain. |

Most of the island is now connected to some form of water, but for those villages not on any water line, it was a good top up for the Wells that run dry very quickly during the Summer months.
|
|
No sign of any bad weather today however, the skies are blue and the sun is shining hot. It's back to the beach with a sunny and hot day ahead. |

It was a great and relaxed Sunday yesterday on Ithaki. Not too many people in the streets in Frikes, except for when the day tripper rolled in. Locals went about their business and relaxation in an unecumbered manner. |
