In May, the sun starts to shine regularly and the days are getting longer. Sailing around the Ionian begins in earnest, with Flotillas from the various Sailing companies, docking their yachts in the bays around Ithaca. The locals begin to flush with rosy cheeks and smiles to welcome in the warmer Spring weather, and the local shop keepers begin to restore Winter damage to their premises, giving their shop fronts a new and clean look for the coming Season. Walking Tours come to Ithaki and join the locals in trekking the trails across the island, trails a little overgrown from the Winter months of rain, but still passable for the dedicated. Ithaki throws off its' Winter coat and lets the sunshine in. As May continues, more tables and chairs take their places on the pavement, with Ouzo and mezedes making an afternoon with friends, well spent.
