What does Greece do best? Sun, sea and Summer fun, well there are plenty of other things but for August, this is what people love about it.

Saturday 29th - Well, we didn't quite make it through the month without 1 covid case. The Mayor of Ithaca yesterday announced that 1 person who was sent back to his home to quarantine. He is no longer on the island. The Mayor is directing people to here: https://eody.gov.gr/eody/ for covid19 information.
Anyway, let's get on with Summer. With so much bad and sad news from around the world, not just about covid, we should start to direct our thoughts to how we want life to be for us. No one wants to live in a pit of despair. Below - A Kioni view.
