Fontis
(left) is on a 4 day whirlwind visit to Ithaca visiting his friend Bemeni
in Kioni and squeezing in as many hours on the beaches and in the bars as
he can get. We wish we could squeeze a concert out of him. Fontis is a contemporary
violinist who writes some haunting great songs. He is currently playing
in a 10 piece band.

July
11th - Costa Kamakamis just stepped off the boat, ready to discover
Ithaca as an adult. The last time he was here, he was only 9 years old.
He's staying at his family home in Lahos until after the Stavros Panighiri
and then he's off to Crete to meet some friends. While he's here, Costa
hopes to challenge a few locals at Tavli. First stop, Bemenis. He soon made
friends with our resident juggler, Paul, talking over English soccer plays
before his cousin Jessica introduced him around. |

Alberto Rosello and Juan Zaforetsa are here from Majorca. The last of the
generation that experienced this Spanish island at it's absolute peak of
infamy. They knew Errol Flynn, Drank at Joes Bar, listened to music at Tetos
and congregated with the rich and famous in El Patio and Plathia Gomilla.
We caught them at Spavento Bar in Kioni dancing away the afternoon to old
tunes of the 50's while they lubricated their sweet voices with nectar from
the top shelves. These two are going to make for alot of fun while they're
here. Maybe we'll experience Juans expertise on his Spanish guitar too.
