Some photos of Island life ...

The lovely Helene from Gallery Helene

Always jovial and has time for a chat, a lovely lady.

Stamatis

My friend Stamatis, who bakes lovely bread with his brother Nikos and puts up with my stumbling attempts at Greek.

Yannis

Yannis sells his produce he grows on his smallholding at Xanemos at the top of Papadamatis street.

Yorgos

Yorgos skipper of the Thimios at Tsougria

Boatboy

A boatboy from the Tsougria water taxi, I did not get his name but he is an excellent fisherman.

Fishing on the old harbour

A free sunday lunch, it just takes a little patience, a handline, and a carrier bag to take it home ...

Octopus

Octopus drying at Kolios, just add some red wine vinegar ...

Brilliant photos Ian

A fabulous one of Stamatis; wish I could pop in there right now for one of his delicious fresh cinnamon doughnuts to have with my cup of coffee Sad

Octopus drying at Kolios, the taverna on the right as you approch from the road always seemed to have some drying their.
Personaly I preferd the other taverna.
Great Beach though loved to take bread out into the sea and feed the fish.
Memorys. Very Happy
