April Update 2019
Developments in Argostoli
While the
men have been working hard, Dimitra and I have been going for long walks from
Argostoli Campsite to the Marina to check how they are doing! It's a beautiful walk that takes 2 hours round trip. I highly recommend a stroll along the treelined road, which provides shade and has some stunning views along the way.
The season officially begins on the 1st May and on the 5th May is our Clean Up Cruise to Vardiani Island. We are already fully booked for this event.
We have also donated 2 BBQ cruise tickets to charity - Stepping Stones Foster Home for dogs via Mary Willis. If you'd like to purchase tickets please contact Mary via Facebook.
Socialising
There’s a
buzz of excitement in the air in Kefalonia during the month of April. Easter is
approaching which is a big event in Greece, and the locals are preparing for
the season ahead. You can hear strimmers in the distance almost anywhere and see
people painting shopfronts and buildings. And at the Marina there's the odd person
here and there tinkering away quietly on their boat.
But work also
continues in developing Argostoli. Last year they revamped the Square, this
year they are working on the seafront and some roads leading to the square are being made for pedestrians only.
At the moment it looks a bit like a building site with slow progress, but once complete I'm certain it will look amazing and will be user friendly for the tourists in peak season.

They have also created a one way system, cycle
lane and skate board area by Argostoli Port.

The Weather!
We can’t
ignore the fact that is has rained A LOT over the past few weeks and although
this has meant work comes to a halt during those periods, the Greeks seem to take it in
their stride. After all the air is warm, the flowers are out and the fruit
trees are blossoming. All signs that the weather is improving and summer is on
it’s way.
The Lady O
Of course we
too are preparing for summer 2019. Dionisis has winter work to do when the Lady
O is out of the water, however he began months ago organising and ordering things
she will need.

Dennis & Andreas making the Lady O look fab!

Before Nicos
arrived from the UK the Lady O was already back in the water!
Unfortunately
last year due to health issues Nicos was not able to be in Kefalonia from the
start of the season, but this year he will be here from April – October and
cleaning has begun.

Despite being busy busy busy, now is a
great time to catch up with our friends, go to our favourite
restaurants for a Chicken Souvlaki, Moussaka, fresh fish or Greek Salad. And
let’s not forget the lovely Greek pastries and cakes. Oh and of course let’s
not forget the odd cocktail!
Once the
season kicks off everyone is busy and no-one sees or speaks to each other again
until October!
Birthday Celebrations
April is
also the month of Dimitra’s birthday. Due to my work commitments in the UK, this
is the first time I have been on the island to celebrate with her. It was a
wonderful evening..........
So there you have it!
We look forward to welcoming all our guests in 2019.
