Sat 13 Aug - From snow in Leongatha, Australia to 38 C in Stavros, Ithaca, in the space of 2 days. Above - Helga Baum is on Ithaca and in Greece generally, for the first time in her life, but it didn't take long for her to adapt to the life style, sipping a cool drink in Kioni on the bay with views that have her beaming ear to ear with pleasure.
 
Above - US artist Paul Leibow is holidaying on the island with his family, wife Marietta, daughter Vasiliki and 2 year old son, Josif. It's been 4 years since their last trip to the island. Between swimming and enjoying Ithaki with his children, Paul still manages to paint. His paints go with him, even to the beach, where he is again inspired to translate his feelings through a stroke of a brush.

Sat 20 Aug - Left - Marie Raftopoulos is here from Brisbane, Australia. She's been on the island for the past 3 months enjoying the beach and the nightlife of Frike, from where her family roots stem.
Sun 21 Aug - Right - Peter F from Sydney and Peter D from Melbourne get together for a drink at Bemenis, once run by Peter D The Big P. Peter F, his wife and child, have joined his entire family here on holiday at Varka, staying in their family home on Ithaki. News is that Big P is getting married in November and will be coming back to Greece for his honeymoon, but
 
not to Ithaki. The Big P has years of reputation to live down before it's safe for him to bring his new bride to the island. So northern Ithaki bids farewell to it's aging stud and wishes him well in love and marriage for the future. Now Junior. Behave yourself!
 
 
Above and Right - Vanessa, her husband Tony, their daughters Francesca and Lucia, and father, Tom, are here staying at their family home at Parata.
