Conversations Overheard….

“Ella, tzao” (Greek-speek for OK, ciao)

“Keep an extra bathing suit in your car.  The sea is always closer than you think”.  (Seen in Carouzos men and women’s clothing – lots of lovely linen stuff - on Joachim, in Kolonaki).

“Kalo kalokeri - Have a good summer!” – in front of Da Capo café.  Greeks take summer very seriously.

On Spetses:  “Well we can always just hop on a Dolphin to get back.”

On Serifos:  “Errgghh - I’ve just been shat on by a sparrow!”  “That’s nothing – I was once pissed on by a camel.”  (Followed immediately by…)

“He who sits under the red pines will be shat upon by doves”….  (quoting de Bernieres book, Birds Without Wings); and then….

“Existing on a diet of cracked wheat, yoghurt and outlandish fatalism” (quoting a character in BWW) is still applicable to the poorer regions of Greece.”

On Milos:  “I don’t think my boyfriend in Melbourne would go for that”.

“Fright Squid” (Milos menu).

“Keep an extra bathing suit in your car.  The sea is always closer than you think”.
