What's New On Ithaca Greece
December 2020
Tuesday 1st
Looks like it may be a rainy start to December, but on this day, the sun was shining with 1 yacht in Vathy harbour and the smell of olive branches burning in the air..
Christmas lights are up around the island, but by the look of it, it will be a very quiet holiday season this year.
Thursday 3rd - Ithaca Island is looking very lush after rainfalls and stormy skies.
Above - Vathy before the rain. Below - Vathy with Lazareto islet welcoming you into the bay.
Sunday 6th - Wishing everyone a happy Sunday. Hope all is well wherever you are!
Monday 7th - Some rainy days on Ithaca.
Friday 11th - It's been raining, raining and raining and looks like it will be raining some more over the next few days. Below - Raxi in the north end of Ithaca.
Monday 13th - National Lockdown extended to 7th January 2021. Shops closed with a 'click away' system allowed which is order and pay online and collect on the street type of thing with no cash or touching allowed, hairdressers open, book sellers open, curfew 10pm - 5am. Here are some photos with a more straight forward message.
Wednesday 16th - Weather fining up again after quite alot of rainy days. The commerciality of Christmas has been cancelled in Greece this year unless you are in a 'click away' friendly area or even have the possibility of doing it, which unfortunately, is not so for a big majority of Greece's population. Anyway, some may argue we have entered a post rational era, but irregardless, here we are.

Winter on Ithaca Greece

A mixed bag of weather.
Thursday 3rd

Monday 7th

Monday 13th
It's been quite a wet and stormy December so far and that's not about to change with more bad weather on the horizon, but still, inbetween we can always get some sunny breaks.
Wednesday 16th - Already half way through December with no end in sight for covid and a locked down Christmas and the holiday season cancelled. While most concern themselves with covid cases, let's not forget those who suffer in silence and loneliness and ill health, not associated with covid, but with poverty and lack of opportunity.
