- Jill and Neil are on Ithaca from London for the third time, initially
lured to the island by it's mythology, they keep coming back now
because of the friendliness of the natives and the peace and quiet
some parts of the island offer them. We caught up with them in Platrithia
having a chat with Andy and Mark about their restaurant Yefyri (the
old Levendis) which will open around July if the 'slowly slowly'
of Ithaca doesn't turn July into August, September or October. Jill
and Neil took the trail to Homers School and back so the boys offered
them a cold drink and a cool place to sit. Neil is webmaster of
the Gold Wing Owners Club in the UK, a bikie club he keeps on the
internet. CLICK

He's a movie designer who really knows how to add colour to a plain
back drop. He's also one of the owners of Yefyri..

28th - Jeffrey / Geoffrey and Fran left today after spending their
yearly 3 weeks in Kioni. They look healthy and rested and tanned as
they relax infront of Spavento Bar for their last afternoon until
next year. They are loved regulars of Kioni as each year they stay
in the same rooms they have stayed in each time they holiday on Ithaca.
See you next year! |

Mel
Gibson is on Ithaca. No one is telling where he's staying which
is a good thing. There are a couple of people here on the island
ready to get his autograph into their scrapbooks. So keep your head
down Mel. You have no idea how many Australians there are living
here, ready, eager and able to let some of that @#$^^$# Aussie humour
out of the closet to someone they love to call 'their own' .

6th - Jon and Sam are ready to head off home again to Suffolk
in England after a couple of weeks in Kioni, where they enjoyed their
nights at Spavento bar and meeting the locals. They both work in the
Health industry back home. Jon is a Health Inspector. Guess they didn't
find anything to make them go "Yuck!" They're both smiling
like cheshire cats. We like that. |

9th - The Tour Reps take a break from their clients to party
and let down their hair before the Summer really gets going. It's
been awhile since the old disco (Asteria) in Frikes saw any action,
but these Aggli (English) didn't waste any time in re-igniting the
vibe. |

June 10th - Lucky has arrived and wasted no time getting into the swing of it at Bemenis on his first night. Today he heads down to Poli to see what needs doing and maybe setting up his chairs. For now his plans are to wrap it up here and go back to Australia after the Summer, but Ithaki is full of surprises and you never know what can comeup to make him change his mind. There's always room for one more on Ithaca in winter. |

15th - Liz
and Andy flew into Cephalonia from the Uk and got to Ithaca in the
early hours of the morning for a short weeks' break. Liz brought
her partner Andy along while she visits her good friends Poppy and
Nektarios in Frikes. This couple was so jet-lagged and tired, but
were not allowed to retire to their hotel before Nektarios lined
up the svinaki for a welcome to Ithaca toast. Hang on!
