On a day like today, it's not only the visitors who want to be tourists, but the locals as well. The weather is perfect for just about everything - Walking, driving, swimming and cycling. Left - On the road to Skinos, a peaceful and charming view paints itself down the gentle southern Ithaki hills toward Aetos bay and right across to the arid mountains of Kefalonia. Visitors to Ithaki have often commented that taking in the views of the island can sometimes be like sitting inside a picture postcard or a beautiful painting. Below - Vathy is a little quieter now the rush is over, but that will change again this weekend with the National Elections bringing back Ithacans from all over Greece, to vote, while on the opposite side of the island, Kioni still appears to be in mid season with all the day trippers and yachts in town.
