Fri 21 Sep - Above and Far Left - The past few days have been quite muggy and sultry with low lying cloud closing the horizon off from the island. The sticky weather did bring everyone back out again however, |
|
filling up the bayside restaurants and bars like in August. Above - This Utility Van may just look like an ordinary van, but the cargo in the back is one of Ithakis most treasured supplies - charcoal. Yes, without the charcoal, there wouldn't be any charcoal grill. |

Above - Poppy from Rementzo takes a violin lesson from Fiddler Adrian Lunney after serving dinner at her restaurant. Poppys' passion for violin has been just a little frustrated by a very busy summer season from which she couldn't take a break to learn, so when the opportunity arose for a quick lesson from a professional, of course she rose to the occasion to get a few valuable tips. Right - Poppy playing the violin, her favourite instrument, and hubbie Nektarios playing the ham, his favourite piece of pork. |

Thu 27 Sep - Above - This bone was found on the beach yesterday. Some guessed it may be a dolphin rib or very large fish bone, but no one knew for sure. If you have an idea, write us an email tellmeaboutit@ithacagreece.com Below - Yesterday the sky threatened rain from dawn onward, but it didn't begin to pour until evening. Today it was sunny again until around midday when it began to cloud over again. |
